A warm muggy day.    I did not have to be out in the air really, so it was no bother to me.    I spent the day working mainly on Genealogy.   I just about have the information checked for Aunt Joan.   Just need a couple of birth years and to talk to Eileen and Denice.

I went to Mass at 4PM and was one of the wine ministers.  A nice mass, greeted several friends and then took communion to Rita and Tom.   Please keep praying for them.   Rita is hanging in but with ALS, we all know that it is a matter of time.

Had my leftover lunch from yesterday for my evening meal.  Then I went for a walk.   I was making my last round at the end of Tallgrass when the Hurrie's, Bob and Peg, waved me in for a glass of wine.   So we rounded out our evening with a glass and conversation.   I am truly blessed.

Roxie is glad that I am home however and it is close to sleep time.  So until tomorrow.

Jean Shepherd, author of The Christmas Story, said: "Some men are Baptists, others Catholics. My father was an Oldsmobile man."

This was a perfect day.   I had lunch at Antoinette's with George and Betsy and Jeff and Kathy.   So happy that I was able to spend time with George and Betsy.   I remember coming home when I lived out of state and trying to see everybody.   It was a great lunch and a great visit.  They look so good and we caught up on children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

I received in the mail today a picture of my three newest great grandchildren, Cooper, Toby and Troy from Leslie's daughter Courtney.   They are so very handsome.   I am truly blessed.

This evening I went to the Final Friday at the Ebco Center, a fundraiser for the Sheboygan Visual artists.   Ran into lots of friends and picked up a piece of art that I bought a ticket for.   Just what I need.  I hooked up with my neighbor, artist Judy Roblee, and we left there and went to Pour Vino in Plymouth (a wine bar) for a glass, in my case a fleet, of wine and a visit.  

A wonderful day and I am tired.  So to bed I will go.

Dia Dhuit.

The weather today was gorgeous.    Comfortable temp, low  70s and a nice breeze.

I kind of lazed around all day.   For one thing, after I fed Roxie at 6, I went back to bed and it was almost 8AM when I woke up again.   So I am quite rested.

I did some work on the book and on genealogy, folded clothes and sorted some of my sewing things.  Then at 4PM I went over to the Tallgrass gathering that we do every week.  We had a nice group this week.  I had sent out a reminder and a couple residents who had not been there before showed up.

Then Linda Arends, a fellow board member, asked if I was going to the German Night at Plymouth Park.  I had not planned on it, but she said that she was thinking of it so I went with her.    It was super.   The High School German Band played followed by the city German Band.  They are both excellent and I met so many people that I know and met more because Linda knows EVERYBODY.  Her kids were in the High School band.

Anyway, I am home again and tired.   I think I will sleep well again tonight.

Monday

It was one of the hottest and muggiest days of the year.   Thankfully, I did not have to be OUT in it.   I wandered all over the county but was mainly in air conditioning.

Started at 9AM going to Sheboygan Falls for Bible Study.   There were 10 of our 11 there.   A good group.   We got into a very good discussion of peace in our world that drew from the Acts when Peter is bringing the Gentiles into the mix.    We got into the world condition because it seems that not much has changed in the middle east from then to now.   There are still the prejudices and when are we going to finally accept all people as out family.  All we can do is keep crying out for peace.

Then I went to visit Mom.  She looks wonderful.  She said that she is having quite a bit of joint acheness but I don't know what we can do about that.  ( I guess Acheness is not a word,  sound it out.)

I then joined my friend Peggy for lunch at the Exchange Bank before our Cream City Writers meeting.   Good to visit with her.   The meeting went well.   Everybody had something to share.  Beverly informed me that the Cream City Writers are now 10 years old.  We are going to plan an event and I agreed to do a publicity article for the papers.

Home again.   I had to go over to Bob's house for some Condo business, but spent the major time working on ancestry.   I want to get it all caught up (The Francis Deeley part) so that I can get that information to Aunt Joan.

So Now it is time to head for bed and reading and writing.  My winddown.

So Until tomorrow.  Dia Dhuit

This was a lovely day.    I was home all day and accomplished a lot.

I slept until a little after 8AM which was nice.   I am not sure Roxie liked it.   I fed her and went back to bed.   Then she came back and pestered me.   I told her quite politely that I really wanted to stay in bed.   She finally accepted my request then when I was ready to get up she was lying on my feet and not happy that I disturbed her.

I spent a good portion of the day updating information for Aunt Joan on the genealogy sheet that she sent me.    I need to verify a few dates from my brothers and sisters and then can get it to her.

It was so nice that I sat out on the deck for about an hour reading with Roxie enjoying the sun and fresh air too.    It was fun just watching her enjoy it.

I took a walk too.

So the day is winding down and so am I. 
Tomorrow starts a rather full week, especially Monday, of course.   I will leave at 9AM and get home at about 3PM.  Almost like working.   EEWW>
