Whew.  What a day.   I got a lot done.

Am working on some things for Mom.   Hopefully this will settle everything.

I went to the grocery store this morning and when I got back, cleaned the garage as best I could without water.   Too many boxes stacked up against the wall. 

I wrote a news letter for the Sheboygan County Branch of CWI.   We had such a great Samhain dinner ant I told them about the upcoming events.  Want to see?   You have no choice.

Sunday, October 25th, 14 members of the Sheboygan Branch of CWI and their friends and significant others, met at the First Congregational UCC for our 5th (at least) annual Samhain Dinner.   Again, we entered into the dark season enjoying the many fruits of the harvest.   Soups to take your breath away, potato dishes, chicken and desserts to die for.
For those of you who don't know how important this feast is, here is a summary:  Samhain is the end of the harvest season, the beginning of the dark season.  The Night (our Halloween) was the time that the veil between here and the other world was the thinnest and ghouls and goblins roamed the world.   The dark season is actually a season to regroup, much as sleep is a time to replenish the soul.   This is the time of year to repair, to renew, to begin again.   The trouble with our world is that there is no time for just being.
So it was a wonderful evening.   I thank all who came,  for your company.  Please don't let this feast die if I am gone.   I will start another Samhain in Oklahoma.  OK!.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 14th at 1:00 PM. We are meeting at the First Congregational UCC at 1405 South Milwaukee (Hwy 67) in Plymouth. This CWI bi-annual Literary Exchange includes tea, members may bring a treat to pass, we learn about author Leon Uris and discuss his book: "Trinity".

Finally:  Our last event for 2015 will be our annual Collaborative Irish Christmas Tea, celebrated at the Plymouth Historical Society. 420 E. Mill St., Plymouth WI,  along with the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center, Sheboygan Falls, (thank you Beth Dippel) will be held on December 5th, Saturday, from 1PM to 3PM. 
Enjoy musical entertainment, Christmas Treats, traditional Irish Brown Bread, tea and coffee in addition to good conversation.  Bring your special holiday treats to share with all the guest that come to share this time with us.
Begin your Christmas season with joyful sounds of this program.

Hope I didn't bore you.   This is my life (part of it anyway.)   I have decided to go back to choir at St. John's.  Maybe I will be here for Christmas.  If not, I will be able to sing a couple of times at Mass anyway.

Tomorrow, someone from Milwaukee is coming to look at the condo.   Pray!!!
