This was a nice day.   I had an awful night, but the day made up for it.

I went to Joan Kramer's mid morning for a reflexology treatment.   That helped take some of the aches and pains out of my body. AND we had a good visit.   I will be riding to Chicago for IBAM with her and Richard next Friday.   Joan gives a talk in the Literary Corner also.   I will be preparing seriously, starting tomorrow.   I have a general theme and a couple of props and will work from there.

I got a call from Alison.   She has a showing tomorrow morning at about 11:30AM.  So Nicky and I will go to visit Edie across the street again.   Someone is also coming on Monday Morning.   Glad there is some activity as we have not heard from the two that expressed some interest earlier.

Went to Mass at 4PM.   I was a Eucharistic Minister so really loved the service.   As I say, I love to be able to give Jesus to people.


The evening is just flying by.   I am glad actually as I need a good night's sleep.  It HAS to be better than last night. 

I get to stay in the neighborhood all day tomorrow anyway.   Monday is really busy.

Another busy day.    I slept til 7:10AM.   A bit late, but not too much.   Got a lot done around the house and went to lunch with my bank buddies for the first time in months.   It was a good visit and I enjoyed my Dairy Queen bacon cheeseburger.

Did I tell you all, I found that the pictures from Cornwall, DID end up on my Microsoft Live Photo Gallery so when I figure out how, you will be seeing them.    I was SO happy.

Tonight I wen to the Plymouth Arts Center for their annual En Peine Air event.   From September 24th until the 30th artist from all over the state came and painted Plymouth.   I saw a group at the Highland and Hummingbird which is just across the street from us.  Kate had several at her home.    I told her she was the bell of the ball with the number of paintings of her home.   Some of the house and some of her gardens.  My friend, Joan Schwabe, had two painting in the show and Alan Pape and Kerry Kautzer, two other artist friends of mine were also featured. 

They always have snacks and wine and I always know people, so decided to go to the reception.   I was not disappointed.  

I don't know how I got so behind on wash.   Must have been the trip, I washed clothes and towels all day.   But I AM caught up.   I also baked Decadent Pumpkin Cupcakes.   Nummy Nummy   Come by if you want some.

Quite a busy day.    My house cleaner, Shanna, came at about 8:30AM.    I got took the last of the sewing stuff to my neighbor Kathy for the Quilt Guild, packed another couple of boxes and caught up on the computer.

I had an appointment with my chiropractor, Dr. Wiegand, at 2:40PM.  Dropped a bunch of stuff off at St. Vincent de Paul on my way there.   Things are coming together.  Just need a good offer on the home.    The weekend possibility has apparently fizzled.   But we have someone looking on Monday.   Now that I am ready I just wish it would happen quickly.   But it is what is is.  The more time I have the more organized I will be.

Dr. Wiegand has helped my neck.  I can tell already.  Going for a followup a week from Monday.   I will need that.

Hope all is well with all of my loved ones.

A perfect day.   Cool weather is upon us.  Not that it could not get warm agin, after all it is only the end of September.  Actually it is hard to think that tomorrow will be October already.   I have not heard from Alison since last week.   I am assuming that the two potential offers have faded.  But there have been no requests to see the home either.

Kind of discouraging, but it will be OK.   I keep going through closets and drawers and pitching and donating and packing so that when things happen, I will be ready.

Today, I got my hair cut.   The rest of the day, Nicky and I spent at home just working.    I am tired now and ready to get a good night's sleep.


I tied up a lot of loose ends on things that are just hanging over me.   Tomorrow I have a long list again and need to figure out when I will be leaving for IBAM and returning the weekend of the 9th.   I will be getting serious about my talk also.

Tomorrow I will be getting a chiropractic treatment.   I am looking forward to that as my neck is sore and I have been getting headaches again.  It will be OK with a bit of an adjustment.

Want to bake tomorrow too.   I always bake when I am tense.  Pumpkin cupcakes tomorrow.

Another busy day.  Went grocery shopping this morning.  That was easy.  Don't need much these days.


Bobbie came this afternoon and helped me go through my sewing supplies.   It is much easier to be tough when there are two of you to be practical.   We got it all whipped out in about two hours, then I treated her to Cream Scones.   A Cornish afternoon treat of a scone with butter, clotted cream and jelly and tea.   Had that almost every day while I was over in Cornwall and the Isle of Man. 

Got some more packing done too.   Have not heard from Alison as to whether either of the people who had an interest in the condo were going to present an offer.   Darn.

Oh, well.   God has done a good job of taking care of me this far.   I know that He will continue to do so.

Well, I am behind on things already and I have only been back home for 4 days.

I seem to have lost all my pictures of the trip. I will call the camera company tomorrow to see if they can be retrieved.  As my friend Maureen says I have them in my mind.   I will be able to pick up some from my fellow travelers as time passes.  I already have one from  a friend that I will send tomorrow.


 Have been really busy packing and just organizing.  Went to Bible Study this morning.  We had a lively discussion on the fact that those original apostles just left their lives, to follow Jesus.   What a leap of faith that was.

Have not heard from my Realtor as to whether either of the people who looked at the condo are ready to make an offer.   It is hard to wait.     I don't know whether to be packing frantically or just going through things as I have been. 

I need to be able to go back to the wonderful adventures that I just had, such as climbing up St. Michael's Mount to the beautiful church up there.   I worked my legs to the max.   There are two ways to get over to the Mount.   By car or tram when the tide is out or by boat when the tide is in.   Quite an experience.   I have never seen such an intricate and extensive way to be climbing to an adventure.  All cobbled paths and stone steps.   No even paths at all.   Kind of like live.
