Another week and more!

Busy, busy as a bee.  I knotted or sewed 15 comforter/quilts for the Indianapolis Quilters Guild in about 4 days.  I am determined to get their
stash caught up.  Rainy weather has been very beneficial to the project.  Can't be outside so what better way to use the inside while the Pacers are trying to punch out the Heat!!!  So I sit and sew sometimes on the machine and sometimes by hand.  I think there are about 10 more to do and I'll get them this afternoon.  Sunday was Trinity Sunday and the church looked splashing with lots of signs of the Trinity throughout the church.  And...Tues. I came in to change the sanctuary into Youth Sunday stuff and a huge delegation of folks from the Fellowship of UM in Worship and the Arts arrived and they seemed to be blown away with the visuals.  Well, at least some of them.  Their Convention is coming to Indy July of 2015.  What a treat.  Many of us have been to conventions through the years.  It's an awesome experience.  North hopes to host a worship service or organ concert.  So that was the excitement of the morning.  I got the church in shape for Sunday and then on to Sarah Ellen's to pack trunks.  We have about 13 ready to go.  SEM is taking 4 and it's up to me and her to find other ways to get the trunks to Eldoret before they arrive back here in Oct.  It was a busy day.  Today is work at the church desk, a stop at the grocery and then home, and on to Kat's to plant some flowers, then delivering the 15 finished quilts and then picking up more to sew and then on to a bell party pitch in and somewhere in between somewhereI need to make two pies.  Gosh...not bored to say the least.  Packing the day full.  Tomorrow is Soup Kitchen cooking and then we will take Sarah Ellen to the airport at noon.  Then rehearsal for Haydn's Teresa Mass which we are doing in two weeks on Sunday morning.  It's wonderful. 

Gosh...times really flies!

10 days...Hello everyone.  Monday I went to church to put Easter away and get out Pentecost.  Woo...my favorite Sunday of the year.  Everything was hung by the afternoon and RED against the gray stone just puts the best side of anything hung in place.  Tuesday back to church to put away Easter and Dee came in the afternoon for Supper and overnight.  We went out to Chili's for supper with Kat and Eric and family and Kristen and family.  Lots of good visiting.  Wed. I worked at the desk in the morning and Dee left for Atlanta in the afternoon.  Bell practice Wed. evening.  Thursday was Soup Kitchen and then Choir in the evening.  Friday was a continuation of working in the gardens which really also happened during the week at every spare minute.  Today was Pentecost Sunday and the service was full, full and lots of fun.  Liturgical dance, bells played, choir sang, confirmation for 6th and 7th grade students, reception after service for two of our staff members who graduated from seminary.  Woo, lots going on.   Tilled in the gardens today where it was needed, continued transplanting some hostas among other things and need to do some seed planting as soon as it gets a bit of shade.  When I have a spare minute I'm also finishing some quilts for the Indianapolis Quilters Gild.  Many will be given away next month so need to get my bag full finished.  Sleeping continues to go sooooo well.  I am blessed.  That's about it for now.  Life is full and fun

Time flys

Can't believe it's been a week since the last post.  Hummm...let me think.  Two good friends unloaded their fabric stashes on to me...one sat and the other sun.  Woo...some I kept and some I moved on to the Lutheran Ladies.  There is a fairy tale about spinning straw into gold.  I'm spinning the sewing machine with fabric into something.  First to get finished are 10 baby blankets needed in Eldoret at the Mother and Baby Hospital.  It took some time to sort through all the fabric and find places for the stuff I'm keeping.  Tuesday Dee stopped by for lunch on his way to a conference in Michigan.  Had a good visit on the patio and did a bunch of talking.  Monday I filled 1 1/2 garbage container full of weeds and stuff from the front of the house.  Woo...that was a huge energy sucker.  Dug lots of wild onions...my least favorite.  The front is finished and now more to do on the north side of the house and then I think I'm finished for a while.  Moved all of Andrew/Noah playground stuff to the garden area and it now is sitting on a soft bed of straw.  I hope the kids like it.  Need to till the garden soon.  The back yard is beautiful.  The front yard...so, so.  Today I spent about 3 hrs with Sarah Ellen and two other friends packing trunks with stuff she purchased for Kenya and tonight was handbells.  Got the car back with all the hail damage fixed this afternoon.  Woo...it was a whirlwind kind of day.  Tomorrow starts with Bread and Bowl.  Then maybe finishing the north side of the house and then it's choir.  I'm ready to plant flowers!!!!   We could use a bit of rain. 

Wed. at church

I posted on Monday but yesterday Noah came for the afternoon and we were busy, busy, busy.  So...here goes the day. 
I started the day with pulling weeds, digging dandilion and Johnson grass and pulling up ivy.  It's a fighter.   Then Noah arrived...we had lunch on the patio...It's warm enough...barely.  Not in order but what follows happened.  Playing in the sandbox.  Watering the garden with lots of water which left him soaked...(everything in the drier except Noah)  planing flower seeds, digging in the dirt for a long time and playing with earthworms...lots of them, playing with marbles, playing with dominoes, paper, colored pencils and scissors, watching just a little bit of Daniel Tigar, walking to the creek and throwing stones and sticks and finally playing hide and seek with Andrew when he arrived to get Noah.  I was bushed...he was going strong but I bet he was in bed before me!!!  Woo...i'm at  church this morning on the desk which is really simple.
