A busy morning.   I signed up for the Spirit Walk.  This is the third year of the event which includes half and quarter marathons and kids marathon events and this Spirit Walk which is in the afternoon.  I is a breast cancer fundraiser so I really wanted to participate.  Barb will pick me up at about two tomorrow and we will walk together.    I even get a tshirt:)

This morning after I got back from that, the door bell rang and there was a policeman at my door.   I put Nicky in the office, first thing.   He actually was "off" a house.  They had gotten a call about an object in someones backyard.    It was my neighbors.  They found a machete like object in their back yard.  I found out how good my neighbors are.  Those who saw the police car came over to be sure that everything was OK.  Am I blessed - or WHAT!!!

Quiet the rest of the day.   Had a nice talk with Bart tonight.

Now I am ready to rest.   Am fighting a bit of a physical problem.  Nothing serious, but uncomfortable.  Only mention it because I love getting prayed for:)

Love you all

It is a happy day.  The closing on the condo in Plymouth happened today.   I now only own one home.  Yee Haa.

All went smoothly and it is over.  That means that I am stuck in Oklahoma:)

We had an absolutely beautiful weather day today.  I aired out the house for hours.

Next week will be busy distributing the funds from the sale.   Mainly, paying off this house.

A gorgeous day in Lawton.  The temps were in the mid 70s and so perfect.

I was home most of the day.   Only had one errand. late this afternoon which took all of 20 minutes.   I love my little house so this is OK.

I had a lot of "business" to attend to.   Banking, wash, some cleaning.   I have contacted a person recommended by Barbara who cleans houses.   The previous person was not working out.   She did a nice cleaning but I could not rely on her to be here when I expected her and was getting too sucked into her personal problems.  My cleaning lady should be just lat.

I can't believe that in two weeks, I will be interacting with many of my Celtic friends from so many years when I go to IBAM.  I miss my friends from there.

The past two days have brought several calls from that time of my life and it makes me feel that my efforts there are not for naught.   (That is a funny phrase but I kind of like it.)

I worked on the President's Challenge for the Wichita Mountain quilt shoe and my quilt that will take forever.

Tomorrow is a another quiet day.    I have ( you know me) set several goals so I will not be bored.

I am sure you get bored with me.  My days are much the same. 

Today was rather lovely, weather wise,  a bit hot and muggy but not bad.

I went to Mass and Bible Study this morning    We had a lively discussion on how we expect God to answer our prayers.   Just like in business:) we have to remember that when we do only what is required of us, we cannot expect big rewards:)

 It was a wonderful day for me as far as communication.  Two of my dear friends from my Wisconsin life called me and we had such good talks.    I miss all my friends and when they call ME, I know that the friendship meant something.  They called at different times too   Whoo Hoo so I did not have to cut someone off OR call back and take a chance of missing them.

Barb stopped by this evening too so my evening was full.   I am so blessed.    She had her hair done to day and it looked GORGEOUS.   So soft and flattering.

She saw what I have been working on for the "President's Challenge" for the quilt show that the Wichita Mountain Quilt Guild does.  She likes it.  And she showed me her plan.  Boy are We GOOD>

Just got home from Writer's Club.    Now that they are meeting regularly again and there are more than three people and I have gotten to know the attendees, it is fun.    I read a couple of poems this week and gave Jed the zip drive of my short story.   We have a couple of members who are reading chapters from their books.   We do seem to have a preponderence of Sci fi and fantasy, but that is fine.  They are receptive to all genres so I feel at home.

The early part of the day was busy, I worked on a quilt project, baked some scones and ran a couple of errands.

Tomorrow is bible study.  

Dia Dhuit   Stay well

Mary

It was cool today.  The temps never got over the mid 70s.  No rain either.

A totally lovely day.

I was home most of the day though I did go shopping and for a visit with Bart.   Tomorrow will be
 much the same, though I will go to Writer's Club in the evening.

I am SO very tired, but hope that I can stay awake for the big debate.

A cool and misty day.

I went to Mass this morning at 8:30AM and then to coffee afterwards.  This has become an important part of my life as I am interacting with others.

Then home.   A reasonably quiet day.  I WAS busy.   Had several projects.   Talked to my friend, Janet for a while.   I don't know whether I mentioned, but our mutual friend,John, was killed in a yard accident and we are praying for and trying to be there for his wife, Toni.   I also talked to Barbara and Kathy today. 

The coming week is quiet, but I have determined a couple of project deadlines which always keep me on track.    I am so blessed in my life.
