My only outing today was to church this evening.    I spent the day rather lazily, but did get a lot of reading and updating on my Patrick chapter of the book.

I needed money, so swung by the bank on the way to church.   Mass was good, I met a couple that I have sat near for these years and now have two new friends, Lisa and Mike.   I was communion minister of the bread.    We have a new option, glucose free hosts for those who are glucose intolerant.  I got the ciborium  that had the glucose free hosts.   This is good.  Mike told me that one lady told him that she had not been able to take the host for 10 years. 

I took communion to Rita and Tom on my way home.   Rita is so frail.  She must be very close to heaven. 

Tomorrow I will go to mass again because they got me on the Sunday "Lector Circuit".   I hope this is the last of that.   I have told the lector scheduler twice that I go to Saturday Mass.   Oh Well. 

I have several projects that I will be working on.   Among them watering lots of plants.

I liked today.   It was sunny and warm.  Perhaps a bit muggy in mid afternoon, but I was able to leave the doors open most of the day and Roxie and I were out on the deck for a while this afternoon.

My dryer is not drying.   After trying to dry a load three times before I realized there was no heat, I called my repairman who will be coming on Monday afternoon.   So I had to get out the old drying racks and drape two loads of wash.   Too bad I didn't realize the problem before I washed the second load.   Oh well, such is life.

I had lunch with the bank ladies at Dairy Queen.   I was hungry for MEAT so I had a bacon cheeseburger.   Boy did it taste good.   I stopped on the way home and picked up some catnip for my Roxie.   She still nuzzles the catnip bag from over a year ago so I decided it is time to refresh things.

I didn't have any deadlines so I just worked on various things as the mood hit me.

I was just thinking about dinner when one of my neighbors, Judy, called and asked if I was going to Praise in the Park tonight.   I did not know about it.   The Christian Radio puts on a Christian Band concert.   I was delighted with the chance to go out to a musical event with somebody, so joined her.   I had exactly $6.84 left in my wallet.   I spent $6.  on a single brat, a coke and for two ice cream bars, one for me and one for Judy.   Such a deal.   The music was super and it is encouraging to see so many people of faith enjoying a lovely evening.

Now you know why I liked today.   What was not to like.

Tomorrow should be good.   I am going to mass on Saturday AND Sunday as the Lector people at church seem to not get the message that I go to the Saturday Mass.   I have communion ministry on Saturday and Lector on Sunday.  

 Oh well, it is good for me.

Until tomorrow then

My shopping day.   I decided to go to the Exchange Bank for coffee and company again.  My friend Joan Kramer joined me and we discussed the Celtic Women.    An altogether good way to start a day.   With a purpose.

Then I did my grocery shopping and went to the Drug store before coming back home.

I worked on the genealogy today.   Got a lot done.   I also baked some bread and some cookies.

This evening I finished a book that has been interesting but a hard read.   I sat out on the deck to read and had the joy of seeing a hummingbird feasting at my lavender.   He was beautiful with his flashes of green and red.   I truly felt that I got a special blessing. They are like a delicate flitting jewel.

So today I feel that I have accomplished a lot. And you all know how happy that makes me.

A wonderful Monday.   Visit with Mom - always pleasant.   She looks wonderful and did so enjoy last week with George and Betsy here.

Bible study was something.   We had a full crew of eleven.   This makes for interesting conversations.   We had a question, what do we think about the changes in the church.   The part of Acts we are studying is when Gentiles were allowed as members. for the first time.  A big deal for them.

The rest of the day at home, I worked on genealogy, the trip to Scotland and CWI.

Tomorrow I see Dr. Leben about my headaches.

Wish me luck.

What a strange Sunday.   It was rather warm this morning, but I decided to take a walk at about 10AM because I should walk every day and stretch it out for the next couple weeks.    I am going to walk in the Cheesehead Run at Hilbert on August 23rd.  I will be doing the 5K walk with Kathy.   Registrants get a goody bag and a Tshirt.   They must have known that I would be a sucker for that.

I say strange because about an hour after I got back home, it started to rain.  By rain I mean - first hail and rain, then a super downpour that looked like a waterfall coming down from the roof.    I had just watered everything because it was dry and I didn't believe the weather predictors any more.  So.  Watered everything is.

I have about finished the genealogy sheet that Aunt Joan wanted me to update.   I will double check a couple of  dates when I go to see Mom tomorrow.   She has everything in her bible.

Aside from that, I can't really figure out what I did today, but I was busy.   It was nice not to have deadlines.

Tomorrow starts a typical Monday.   No writers club meetings so I will be home early in the afternoon.  

Mom had a busy week last week with George and Betsy here.   I saw them on Friday and will hear all about it from Mom tomorrow.   I know how much that means to her.

I am going to make lavender cookies this week.   Seems a good season for them as the lavender is blooming now.

So until tomorrow.
