Wednesday...New Years Eve

 It's the mid-week day again. That's it.  Nothing more except New Years Eve.  There are no special plans.  No sauerkraut and pork, no black-eyed peas.  But there is a new year coming real soon.  I'll take it.  Goodness me...living till 2026. Who would have thought this years ago.  

Yesterday's scarf is off the needle, and a new one is on.  They just keep coming as long as the carpal tunnel behaves.  Reparative wrist motion is a killer. I should be sewing some burps in-between scarves.

I heard from the Michigan kids.  The car is in the fixit shop and glazing pottery is on today's menu.  Kimmy reported that there are 99 pieces to glaze and then fire in two kiln loads.  

Jared is mixing new glaze for a trial run.  

Some chefs have recipes for food, some chemists for pottery glaze.  Pre-mixed glazes can be bought but they also can be refined if one mixes their own. 

A few years ago, our minister of music, Mark lead a group of North folks to Kenya.  He returned with some wonderful art pieces and pictures.  Soon Mark will move to First Baptist Church..  He is donating that artwork to North's Visual Arts department.  With thanks we are accepting that wonderful gift.  We will certainly miss Mark and his wonderful teaching skills that the choir so aptly learned.  First Baptist will benefit greatly. Blessings Mark.

We took a plunge into the cold weather with a very short trip to Aldi's.  I really don't like cold weather this year. There was no yogurt for breakfast. The substitute was cottage cheese.  That worked but was not to be repeated.  A bag of C Chips found the cart with the hope of cookies "paying" the church kids for all their repeat stair nativity climbing in a couple of weeks.

The afternoon was much the same as the morning. Sleeping, Knitting, TV and then doing it all over again.  It was a rather short night.  I felt it this afternoon.  Tonight, will be a late night.  There seems to be a football game I should be watching since I was a buckeye for the first 20 or more years of my life. I think there will be texting between the Carmel girl and the Cleveland girl.
