Saturday and warm

Some of you might not feel that 40 is warm, but to us at this point it feels indescribably mellow.   Little Nicky was bouncing all over the place when we walked this morning.  

I was home all day until 3:30PM.   I have a quiet weekend.   Just plugging along on the several projects that I seem to be juggling.  

Mass was good.   I was able to sub for communion as someone did not show.   I always feel so much a part of the service if I get to be a minister.    Next weekend, the choir is singing AND I am a lector.   Don't know how she manages to assign me as lector when we are singing, but it doesn't really matter as both can be done.

I have decided to go to Shamrocks and Shenanigans at the Plymouth Arts Center next weekend.  A friend, Rosemary Mugan, and her family are going on Friday so I will join them.   I know I will know people there anyway, but really wanted to meet someone, so I put out the word and Rosemary answered right away.   Nice way to start celebrating St. Patrick's day.

Guess that is all.   I am very tired and getting sore.  Thins are Much better than they were several months ago.   At least I get up feeling good.

Just got off the phone with Suzi.  I came home from Choir practice and had two messages, one from Suzi, so I called her right away.   We had a lovely visit.     We need to get together and/or talk more.   We are DEFINITELY doing Irish Fest this year.

I was busy all day with lots of calls and projects then left at 4:00PM for an exhibition of my Friend Jean Tobin's paintings at the UW Sheboygan.    She also comes to the Poets at Mead meetings.   She has changed her subjects a couple times.   This exhibit was Flowers and Faces.   They are gorgeous.  Her paintings will be on display at the Fine Arts Gallery until the end of March.

So now it is past my bed time but I feel really good about the day.

Until tomorrow

This was a marathon day.   Even busier than most of my Mondays. 

Started off with my usual Bible Study.   We were six strong.   With all those on vacation pretty good.   We are still in Acts learning this week about another event in Paul's life.   These are chapters that we don't hear at Mass which is where most Catholics used to get all their bible learning.    This week,  Paul seems to be aware that he is heading to his death as he tells the people he will not be returning to them and admonished them to stay the course.

Then on to visit Mom.    I always bring communion to the Catholics there, you know. This week even my sleepy head was awake.  If she is sound asleep, I sometimes cannot wake her.   It is OK because I don't think she is aware of what day it is.   Mom and I had a good visit.    On the way to her lunch, the nurse weighed her.    She thinks she is gaining weight and is planning on dieting.  I told her that she is pretty stable, which the nurse agreed on.

Then I dropped off papers at Mark Miller, my friend and accountant's, office.   And finally home.   Lots to do here before going for my Chiropractor appointment.  I think I am a bit more sore now.   Will use heat tonight.

Finally, I went to church for the Sacrament of Reconciliation with my neighbor, Jean.   St. John's has a communal service followed by private confessions during Lent.   

Bart called this afternoon and we had a good visit.   He is quite a guy.   Sometimes he will call if he gets to an appointment early.   Passes the time and I am always glad to visit.

So I am a tired girl and will take the dog out soon and then go to bed.   He seems a bit off today.

March first

I am a bit concerned.   The day is definitely lamb like.   According to folk lore, the end of the month will be awful.   In like a lamb, out like a lion.     However, I am not going to COMPLAIN about this beautiful day.   I almost feels balmy.

Home all day.   I believe that I am now ready for the coming week.   Ready for Bible Study, a meeting with Jeff and Mom at Meadow View and I have the last of my tax documents for Mark.

I baked some rhubarb muffins this afternoon.    I cooked up some teriyaki Squirrel.    It tastes good, but is kind of tough because of the membrane.   I will share with Randy and Jeff to see what they think.  If they like it I can try it for the Wild Game Dinner next year providing we have squirrel.

Just finished dinner.  The muffins are to die for.  Stop by any time for your share.
