I was supposed to be home all day today but ended up going to have my teeth cleaned.   Glad that is done.   I have put it off too long and it is costing me too mush money.     Am I blessed that I can come up with the money?

Tomorrow will be really busy.   Helping Bart take his critters to the groomer, then getting my port flushed, then Celtic Club in the afternoon.    I am telling them about the 12 patron saints or 7 Celtic nations tomorrow.   We have such a great group of people and I gave the talk at IBAM so it will be easy.]

It was cold today, but the wind was stilled and the sun shone so it seemed much warmer than it was, after the past two days of wind and snow.   I know our snow did not stay on the ground, but it is really serious to us:)    The Quilt Guild even cancelled their meeting on Monday night.   Too much for those old people.   I was providing the sweet treat and have lemon scones coming out of my ears in the freezer.

Oh well, breakfast for the next week or so.  I did take a bunch to the Bible Study today and they were welcomed.  

Cranberries are in the store so I will be making my Cranberry/Orange scones when the lemon scones are gone.    Fresh cranberry scones are to DIE for.  I am going to make fresh cranberry relish for the Thanksgiving dinner along with two pumpkin pies.

Went to the dentist today.   Need some work done as it has been almost two years since I went last.   Damn Cancer.

Just got home from Writer's Club.   It was a good meeting.   I read a poem, the first successful one I have written in some time.    They liked it.    You can't read it yet because it will be my Christmas Card.

The rest of the day was quiet.

I spent most of the day storing food.    I had company for dinner on Saturday but two people were unable to come so I had lots leftover.     All stored in the freezer.   I have no reason to go hungry for a LONG LONG TIME.

We had snow this morning.   Nicky was not a happy dog.   He did not go out to do his business until about 11AM.  Boy does he have the ability to hold himself.   He always looks at me as if I caused the problem with the weather.

A quiet day.   I did go shopping TWO times because I needed stuff.   This has never happened before but things are different now that I shop for one.

Talked to Eileen tonight.  Just felt like calling her.  They are all well and we had a great visit.

Another quiet day.

I took Nicky's fecal sample to the vet this morning because I caught him going.   He is fine.   I will get him his shots in about two weeks and be done with him for a year.

Aside from that, I did a bit of washing and some computer work.

Hope your day was as uneventrul.

Bart and I left at about 9AM for his checkup on his shoulder.   He had to go to Norman which is near Oklahoma City and about an hour and 3/4 drive.  Got there and they had postponed his appointment a half an hour.   Then there were more delays.

However,   all went well.    The nurse/practitioner was very pleased with is progress, gave him a shot and sent him on his way with instructions to continue working with the shoulder and to come back next month.

We were home by two PM.   Not bad with the drive and delays.    I didn't care as I was just company for Bart.    It is a long drive to take alone.

Been lazy with a doggy on my lap most of the rest of the afternoon.

Went to Mass this morning and then to Bible Study.    I am glad that the elections are over, we are getting a bit political, even in the bible study and I don't like that.  We are going to do a Short book study before the next parish bible study.   It will be an interesting break and help me as I get  back to reading again.

The rest of the day was very quiet.   I am going with Bart to his doctor appointment in Oklahoma City tomorrow.   A nice break for me, not nedcessarily for him.   But I hipe it will be just a checkup.

Just got back from Writer's Club.     We are down to only 5 of us but perhaps some new people  or some old attendees will start coming.    I would surely miss it and it is helping me to get remotivated.

I voted today.    Boy was that a long and complicated ballot.   There was a decent crowd when I went at 10:00AM but no lines which was nice.
I'm glad all the political ads will be over.    Now to get through the results and all that fol der oll.

Well,   it was finally dry enough that David could paint my porch.    Can't do that if it the wood is too wet or if it is going to rain too soon.   We finally hit it just right.    It looks nice.   Now it needs to be left alone for at least two days.


My doorbell shorted out today.   It has been weird for a while, but just blew its mind this afternoon and wouldn't stop buzzing.   So I disconnected it..

People can knock.

Another whole day at home.    Nothing exciting happened.    Perhaps this is a good thing.

Barbara stopped by for just a minute with something I needed but aside from that I did not see or talk to another soul.  

Nicky likes this, he has me to himself.

I was home all day today.   Yea.

The beginnings of weeks have been so busy.    I did a bit of yard chores and did my wash so was busy most of the day.

Talked to Aunt Kathleen.   Just decided to call her.   She is such a joy.

Quiet day tomorrow too.

Today was a holy day in the Catholic Church.   So I went to Mass.    I was even a usher at the Mass.

The rest of the day was quiet mostly.   Bart stopped by for a visit and my niece Suzi called, so I was not lonely.

Nice.

went to Bible Study this morning.    We are reading the next Sunday's readings for the time being.

This afternoon, I saw Dr. Toy and he adjusted my back and body.    I really needed it after the trip.

Tomorrow is a holy day,  All Saints Day.   I am ushering at the noon mass.

A quiet day overall..

I did some grocery shopping and let miss Lily out for Bart who was on an all day mission today.

Got a welcome call from Brenda and Richard this evening which made my day.

Always glad to talk to family in the evenings.

I am home safe and sound.    The plane even got in early and I had to wait for Barb:)

The weekend went very well.    Saw lots of friends, heard lots of dynamic speakers, gave a successful speech myself and attended a very classy awards banquet. 

Altogether very nice and worth the trip.

Except for a quick trip to the bank, I was home all day preparing for my trip to Chicago for IBAM.

All ready.    The weather was pleasant.   at least the rain stopped.

You will hear from me again on Sunday.

Bible Study this morning.    We finished our planned study of Revelation last week and this week decided to just read Revelation from the beginning to the end.   It was very interesting and flows nicely.    I still do not find Revelation my favorite book of the bible.

It rained ALL day.   So my porch will not be painted for several days again.   What  a pain.   At least the sunroom roof is repaired.

Dia Dhuit

Mary

Yea!!!   They came and replaced the roof on my sun room.    I have had leaking for some time and they were finally able to fit me in.    So.   That problem is fixed.   Poor Nicky was just frantic with all the pounding and walking on the ceiling.    I kept trying to reassure him, but how do you explain such a thing to a dog.

Now I just need the front porch painted.

Went to the 8:30AM Mass this morning.    We had a baptism.   It was of a boy that I have been praying for.   He had a rough start in this world but is doing just fine now.

This evening went to Chili's to join the Benoit's for my great granddaughter, Abby's birthday dinner.    An altogether glorious day.
