I went to lunch at the Center for Creative Living, a PALS luncheon.  I don't know what that is exactly but I had a good meal and good companionship.  Yes, my children, I talked to everybody.

Had a couple of other errands. So am pretty well caught up on life.

Jeff called this morning.   The Gun Deer Hunting seasons starts tomorrow.   Please keep the hunters, my brothers, nephews, nieces, grandnephews, brothers in laws.  etc in you prayers for a SAFE and successful hunt.

I miss them all and the camaraderie and closeness with God's earth,   I do not miss the cold and achy bones. 

Prayers for a successul hunt.

I had a busy day.   This morning I was scheduled for a scan of my gall bladder.  This is the longest scan  in the WORLD.   The initial scan is  an hour then they give your M & Ms.   (Yes M & Ms.) and make you wait for a half an hour then do a quicky scan.    I got there at 9:30AM and left at about noon.

Home again, I found out that my Celtic Member who was going to do a  presentation was sick.  So I went to the meeting with my wall hangings of Celtic Saints and some stories and we did fine.
I love our group.   Next month Loretta and Charles have arranged for us to to to the Heritage Center in Duncan - Free of Charge_ to learn about the Celts on the Chisholm Trail.   I am so delighted that our members are so talented.   The gal who was unable to perform still wants to do her talk.  What more can we ask.?

A mildly busy day tomorrow, but I can relax a bit.   I will probably be a mom to Bart and
Barb's critters over the weekend as they have a weekend trip planned.   Keeps me busy and I like their critters:)

It was a busy day. 

The temperatures were up in the 80's.  Unseasonably hot for this time of year, but nice to live with.

I went to the 9AM Mass and then to the Holy Family Bible Study.   We are studying Psalms for a bit now.   I did a study of Psalms with my Blessed Trinity group too.  We used a different study guide which makes me happy because I will get a different slant and probably different psalms, though , I checked and some are the same psalms anyway.  I hope this stands our group with good insights.   I DO love the Psalms.  They are so beautiful.

This afternoon I had a local investment appointment, so my financial plan is pretty much in order.

Now I just need to maintain and keep on a livin' :)

I am having yet another test tomorrow morning.  Please pray for me.   Just let them come up with SOME diagnosis.  I have never in my life spent this much time trying to find out what is wrong with me.

When God closes a door, He opens another. But it’s hell in the hallway.

Just got home from Writer's Club.    We are assembling an anthology of short stories and poems as a Kindle book on Amazon so our meeting was mainly the logistics (fonts, titles, bios) of that tonight as we are hoping to have it out by Thanksgiving.   I missed last week so was not aware that we were aiming for that soon.   I will let you know when it is available.

The earlier part of the day was mainly at home.  Leah came to clean this morning.  I baked cupcakes for the Celtic Meeting on Thursday.   After lunch I went grocery shopping.  I forgot MILK.   But I have everything I need for my Christmas baking.    Don't worry,   buckeyes and fudge are on the list.

Just got home from the Wichita Mountain Quilt Guild meeting.    Picked up Barb shortly after 6PM.   It was a good meeting.   I enjoy the members and their enthusiasm so much.  We will be having or bi-annual quilt show.   Things are really gearing up now as it is scheduled for the weekend of February 17th.   I am not entering a quilt for judging, but am offering some of my quilt hangings and Aunt Helen's Flower Garden quilt for display.

Anybody want to come?   You can stay with me:)   We will be displaying the members quilts that will be judged and given awards, a silent auction, a drawing for a king sized quilt and a drawing for an American Girl doll with tons of and made outfits and other things.

Should be very exciting.

I spent much of the day sewing and making appointments. 

Tomorrow will be busy also.   Leah comes to clean, I must shop and have Writer's Club in the evening.

I did get up and take pictures of the moon at a bit after five.  The fog came in shortly afterwards so I timed it right.

Just got home from dinner with Bart and Barb.   Barb fixed a new dish.   She used grated cauliflower in place of rice in a casserole.     It was a definite success.   As rice is difficult for her to digest this will work very well.

I went to the 8:30AM mass this morning then drove back to church at about noon for a goodbye reception for Dallas Gambron, our now past music director.   He has accepted a position in Florida so we are in need of a music director if you know of one who would like to apply:)

Dallas was one of the first church people that I got to meet and know by name after Masses at the coffee and donut gathering after  the 8:30AM Masses.     I will miss him.  Got to meet his wife and children today too.   I had seen them but they have usually gone to the 11AM mass so I never had to occasion to meet her before. 

I am planning on getting up to see the super moon at 5:30AM or so.

Until tomorrow.
