Just got home from the Saturday service. Our choir sang for three days in a row. This service is a bit longer than most as it involves the blessing of fire, the blessing of water and the sacraments of baptism and/or confirmation to adults that are joining the church or just did not receive them in their youth for one reason or another. We had two adults receiving their confirmation tonight .
Tomorrow, Easter, I will not have to go to church but as I said, will be going to have dinner with Mother, Jeff and Kathy. Jeff and Kathy are going to pick me up.
I will take advantage of Jeff being here to tighten the bolt on my toilet as it is leaking from the water reservoir.
Now it is late for me, and Nicky is waiting to go to bed. On one of our walks, we ran into my neighbor Linda and her granddaughter Mariska. Nicky was fine with them and even let Mariska crouch down and love him. I was so encouraged.

This morning it was pleasant
That sure has change. I wore a spring coat to church this afternoon and when we stepped out after the service, I darned near froze. I was going to get gas but decided it was too cold. So I filled the tank on the way to pistol league instead when I was dressed for it.
Nicky and I had an exciting day. We went to Chris, the dog sitter's home, so that Nicky and she could meet. I was afraid that he would be barky and snappy, but he surprised me. The first thing he did was to get really interested in the back yard- lots of good doggy smells there. He was not running up to her or Rick when he came down. But he really did not do any serious barking or growling and he played nice with a dog that was being pet sat at the time. SO I am VERY happy. I know how happy Zero was with them when we were gone and now that I know that Nicky can be pleasant around others in their world, all will be good.
Good Friday today so the choir sang for the Good Friday services at 1PM. We warmed up at 12:30 and sang until almost 2PM so my voice is well used today. Then this evening I DID go to shoot. I will be gone the weekend of April 24th and Mother's day weekend and don't want to have to do more than three targets a night to catch up. Had good times and visits with the guys. I do enjoy shooting and the league.
Tomorrow night the choir will sing again, I will not go to mass on Sunday then. Sunday I am looking forward to dinner with Mom and Jeff and Kathy. Jeff checked and they do have ham on Easter at Meadow View. I have made up a little basket for Mom.
I am going to make hot cross buns too so if anybody wants some let me know.

Got the following from a friend today.
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

What a beautiful day. Warm. I even opened some of the windows and doors today. Dick would have been horrified.
Theya re working on getting the bed ready for the railroad tracks and are they even noisy. They keep piling up dirt and then moving it again. Over and Over. Noisy time.
I had lots of errands this morning. Bank, Shopping, St. Vinnies, and Walgreens. Took over two hours. Yikes.
Tomorrow starts the Holy Days. Will be singing in the evening at the Holy Thursday service.
I also have a chiropractor appointment. I was so sore yesterday. A bit better today.

What a day.
It was really beautiful today, sunny, not windy and in the 50s. When Me. Nicky and I went for our morning walk, I could hear the Sandhill cranes, who live in our wetlands, bugling like crazy. Then I saw them circling to the west. Finally they came up over the end of Tallgrass just overhead and I got the best view of them. I will have to start taking my camera along on the walks.
We had a good Bible Study today. Our Ione was back after three weeks off. Pray for her as she is struggling with shingles. Peggy was back too from her latest trip to Florida to spend time with her daughter so we were 6 of us. Winter snowbirds will be back soon and we will get back to our 10 or so.
Had a lovely visit with Mother. I had an extra person to give communion to. It works out. I am getting confused as to how many hosts I need as some cannot handle the full host, so I break them into pieces for them. One of my sweet little ladies always tells me that she is Catholic. Which is so cute.
Mom got a basket from Church full of granola bars, fruit, candy and all kinds of other food. She was so pleased but asked me to take some things. So I took the instant oatmeal and some raisins.
Got home about 12:30PM. I had to go to Aurora for a mammogram today. Thank heavens they are only once a year. Not hard but uncomfortable and icky.
I fixed a good old Velveeta grilled cheese for my supper. Some things just need Velveeta.

At a soccer match in Washington DC. El Salvador was to play Argentina. Before the match it is customary to play the national anthem from each country. Imagine the irritation and surprise when instead of the anthem of El Salvador they played the anthem from the Isle of Man. No happy faces on the players. An apology was tendered. Don't know if it helped.
Many people probably are not even sure where the Isle of Man is. But I will be visiting it, as part of my bucket list, in September. It is one of the seven Celtic Nations.
We were home all day. Went for a couple of walks. It did rain this morning but did not freeze and our walks were rain free. The wind has picked up tonight so our last trip to Nicky's bathroom will be quick if I have anything to say about it.
I worked on the Pig today. I am almost done. I figure that I will probably be done by Thursday, then I will call Bob to let Rob know that I have it.
Talked to Jeff today. We are planning to join Mom at Meadow View for Easter Dinner. We don't have plans as yet and can't think of any way better to spend an Easter. I think I will make a basket for her.
Tomorrow is a comparatively quiet Monday as I only have Bible Study and the visit to Mom. No other meetings.
We are supposed to get warmer weather in the next couple days. Sure will be nice. Maybe my bones will stop aching.
