Sunday

 Today was a very pokey day.  I wasn't much in a hurry and tonight's post will back that up.  Some days are like that even in Carmel.  

This morning we picked up Noah for church.  It was Andrews day to move back into the dorm at Goshen so their car was packed to the max.  Noah had a bell rehersal after church so it was important that he made that practice.  He had another ride home allowing us to leave church at a more decent time  

Church was something different this morning when it came to the music.  We had an excellent Dixie Land Jazz Band that supported the worship in so many ways.  I thought we were right in the heart  of New Orleans.  We heard Jesus Calls Us/ Shall We Gather at the River/Down by the Riverside/ Just a Closer Walk/ Love Lifted Me.  And for the Postlude...When the Saints Go Marching in.  The place was rockin!

So the rest of the day was a plain ordinary Sunday.  Nothing out of the ordinary.  Just ordinary.  Come to think of it the church year tells us we are in ordinary time. That happened this afternoon for sure.

Thee was sleep, TV football games, WNBA games, snacking and more things like that.  It was a good day of rest.

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...

 The morning started off with breakfast and then a trip with Eric to Nora where he catches the bus to Indy.  I always love these trips in the winter often accompanied with a beautiful winter sun rise.  The morning light was coming through but it will be even better in another month.  I have taken some beautiful pictures in the early morning.   Home again and I did some sewing and some knitting.  The usual stuff that seems to be the winter work.  Ten more burps and I finished another scarf, one that could have been finished yesterday.  I was thinking no rush which is really true.  There is no rush. All the ripped fabric has been sewn so it would seem new ripping will happen soon. This noon was our first North Side North Church noon lunch instead of supper.  No driving in the dark for three months.  There were eleven of us, a smaller group but we all sat around one long table which was really nice.  And there was so much tal...
