I sang the last time at St. John's.   I also had the opportunity to be a minister of communion and share the host with the congregation.   I am so blessed.

The rest of the day was mildly busy.  I sorted and boxed. 

This evening, Jeff and Kathy and Tim, my buyer, came by and helped me take things out into the garage. for pickup.

Tomorrow will be special - a special day with Bobbie.

Again - I was OUT this evening.    I decided that since Rhine Plymouth started their winter league this evening, I would go out and shoot a couple of targets just to keep my hand in a bit.   Actually, I really wanted to be able to say good bye to as many of my friends out there as I could before I head south.   It was fun.   I saw and got hugs from lots of old friends.   I shot two targets and was not too bad (I was actually a bit disappointed)   Since I had not shot since last spring I had to manually eject each shell, (I obviously should have cleaned and oiled,) it was not too bad.   I got all the shots but one on the target and I know which one that was, so kudos for me.

The only other exciting thing that happened to day is that I got a check for $1.10 for the metal in the capped tooth that broke off.     I felt like the Tooth Fairy came.   When I was  kid, we only got a quarter so over four times as much is not a bad payoff.

Love you all

Home most of the day.  

I did have my last choir practice this evening.   Saturday night, my last mass singing at St. John's.  
We had a great practice and Fr. Dan came in to think us for Christmas and bring his annual treat for us.    So we had a social in the church hall.

A lovely evening.   NOW, I AM ready for bed.

So is Nicky

Just got back from 52 Stafford.   I have decided to go there this week and next week to enjoy the craic.   I don't know whether I will have any such thing in Lawton and want to get my "fix" before I leave.    It was wonderful tonight there were at least 15 participants and I sang three songs.   My neighbor Edie went with me and drove too, so I did not have to worry.   Another neighbor, Pat, joined us and two of my Celtic friends, Kathy and Felicia.   It was an altogether delightful evening.

A lot of last events are happening the next two weeks.    Tomorrow will be my last choir practice.

Anyway.   We were there and back way before the projected bad weather.

Here I am again

Yesterday was a zoo.

My usual Monday (Bible Study) was made even busier with tons of errands, a chiropractor appointment and culminated with a 5PM meeting at Mead (I got to smile at the plaque for my sweetheart in the adult  reading room) for a re-photo shoot for the Intersections - Art/Poetry at the SVA center in Sheboygan.   I missed the big shoot and the photographer volunteered to meet with the four who were not able to attend and "Meld " us into the photo.   I am blown away at the technology.  I will be gone for this year's Artists and Poets "adventure" event, but am blessed to be still a part of it as I was able to be part of the inception.   All of my Sheboygan friends please go.   Look for the exposure in March.  I will get the dates off to you also.

Today was also busy.   I picked up Nicky's vet information, went grocery shopping, such as it was in the morning.   I have been on the phone most of the afternoon EEEEEWWWWWW.   I feel that I am working again.   But I do believe that I have most of the financial glitches headed off at the pass.

I am home mostly for the next three days so I can continue with my weeding out and packing of things.

Please keep me in your prayers.   The future is coming at me pretty fast.

I will be spending Sunday with Bobbie for a special day and gathering.

Well.   I figure I have two weeks to get everything sorted and packed.   R & R is coming on the 21st but I will have enough to do that last week without packing.

It was a nice day.    Kind of cold and we had snow flurries off and on.   But there was no real accumulation, so it was just pretty.

Some of my neighbors, Pat, Alison, Kay and I met at the Roadside Wilderness restaurant for brunch and Bloody Marys as I had told you yesterday.    It was a great gathering time.   We shared and ate and laughed and mourned a bit.  What more can friends do?  I will miss them.  Aren't we blessed these days with email and no cost long distance and skype and facebook?     I can keep in touch with these great friends as I develop a life in Lawton.   AND I don't have to lose them.

Tomorrow will be very busy, then I have a couple of days to pack and sort again.   That seems to be working for me.

Talked to my brother George today.   He is such a great brother.  as they all are.   I am so blessed.
