Last night I went shooting at Rhine. I had one REALLY good target, the middle one. The first was awful, the last was EH!. I must keep concentrating and not rush.
Then I went to Sheboygan to the SVA (Sheboygan Visual Artists) opening of their new show. It was fun. Of course, I knew several people. I showed my artist friends the picture of the Heeland Coo (Highland Cow) that I did at the Art Vino evening. They liked it. I was SO pleased. Time Ebenreiter said that we can use the facility for Bloomsday again so I am pleased with that. My friend, Bob Fleming, was there. He is a member of SVA so I expected him. We are having lunch on Friday to catch up. I took one of the small canvases for the annual Small Works project that they do. Anyone who wants can take a canvas. You have until June to complete an art piece on the small canvas and return it to be put on the wall. Then people buy them. You get a painting and if you want you can exchange it for another one. Gets really exciting. I have no idea what medium I will be using or what I will do but there is Plenty of time. RIGHT?
Today was pretty quiet. A friend, Kathy Flath, came over to borrow my Galway Bay as she is interested in it after our book discussion. Then she can move on to Of Irish Blood. They are both by my friend Mary Pat Kelly. I am eagerly waiting for the film version of Galway Bay which I understand it in the works.
Mass tonight, the choir sang. We did great on some and OK on the rest. I must practice more. I also have the basic pig sewn on the wall hanging. Now I need to give him character and embellishments. The fun part.

Nothing too exciting today. I sewed on the Black Pig stitchery. I worked on the book and the Gathering.
Went to Choir practice tonight. We really are working hard for Holy Week and Easter. Can't believe that tomorrow is Friday already.
My ribs are so sore, so I am going to bed RIGHT NOW.
Sleep tight.

Mid week already. This is a much quieter week than the past SEVERAL. Yesterday I got to be home all day. Boy did I get a lot done.
Today was almost as good. I did go grocery shopping this morning. Have to get my lottery ticket, you know. Nicky always is excited to look in the bags when I get home. I do usually have cans for him, but of course, he cannot smell through the metal. But I had other good smelling things in there.
Worked more on the book and on the Gathering today.
This evening I went to church for the Stations of the Cross. Only during Lent and it is a nice devotion. I sat where I usually do in church and all of a sudden there were about a dozen kids from RE (religious ed) came in . All kinds of empty seats but they joined me. I was pleased it is always good to have young people with you. And in church it seemed very special. I am sure they were confused and impressed by all the genuflecting, kneeling and standing that goes on with the Stations. I hope they listened to what they were reading. It is a powerful prayer.
Tomorrow home most of the day.

Bitter cold again today. The only saving graces were sunshine and very little wind. It is supposed to be at least 20 degrees warmer tomorrow. Just for tomorrow and wind will be involved. Please come, Spring.
Bible Study this morning. There were only four of us there today but it was a great discussion. This is another part of Acts that we have not really heard before. It involved what we found a funny description of St. Paul talking for hours and hours. As the time dragged on, a young man, whose name means Lucky, fell asleep and fell out of the window and was declared dead. Paul went down and hugged him then stated that he was alive and lo and behold he was alive again. Reminiscent of other cases in bible stories of people brought back to life by the prayers of holy men. This all took place during the Jewish Passover, so we read that account from the Old Testament and were amazed at how specific God's directions were to the Jewish people. Sometimes life would be easier if He would be a bit more specific with us?
Had a lovely visit with Mom. She is doing well. Says she feels weak and her arthritis hurts her but her spirits are good. She will be playing Bingo this evening.
This afternoon I saw Dr. Wiegand, my chiropractor, I am a bit more sore than when I went to her but it is also quite late in the day and I always hurt more then. This morning, my ribs did not hurt at all, but by the time I got to her they were beginning to ache.
Well, I am going to do a bit of sewing and then go to bed and read.

A whole day at home. It was cold outside but at least two of Nicky's walks brought sunshine and little wind so it was good.
Becky and Elizabeth dropped by this afternoon with the Girl Scout Cookies. Yea. They were able to stay for a bit to enjoy some tea and cola and cookies, mine, before they had to get on the road to deliver more cookies. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon. We had such a great visit and Elizabeth is charming.
I am going to start watching the Oscars in the living room as I work on the Black Pig. Nicky will like that.
So until tomorrow
