Sewing club 10/6

 


Tom got up around 4. I called him back to bed around 5 but I was never able to fall back to sleep. It was hard to hold still. I was glad when his alarm finally went off at 5:55am.

I got all my morning stuff done before I got to chat with Anne at 8:30am. That was fun. I love that we have so much in common even though we live 800 miles apart.

After Tom got home from work, we had BLTs for lunch then got a nap.

I spent some time in the afternoon organizing the choir binders. They were pretty messed up with double copies of some in some binders, and music missing in other binders. I watched King while working on them.

In the evening, I had my sewing club. Tom went with me because he had signed up to help clean the building on Saturday but has a conflict, so he did his share of cleaning while I sewed.

I was making 2 things and finished one, then started the other. The 2nd one was another hot pad, but it’s been too long since I made one and put it together wrong. So I had to take out the border stitching around the outside then put it back together right. Then I realized I still had put it together wrong and had to take out all that stitching again. Dumb. Then my sewing machine started jamming up and I couldn’t finish it, so I packed up and left. But while I was doing all that, we had fun conversations. There were only 3 of us there, and it was fun to chat while we sewed.

Back at home we watched an old Jeopardy and then the last half of Follow Him and one conference talk before going to bed.

The recital 10/8

Image
We had scheduled to help clean the Church this morning, and planned to go get Tom’s Prague watercolor painting framed after that. But last night our darling little 6-year-old neighbor came over to give us a hand-written and colored in crayon invitation and a “ticket” for their recital this morning at 9am. The ticket was on a piece of paper that had been torn off. So cute! We definitely could not miss this! There are 2 kids, maybe 6 and 8 or so. The girl was going to play the piano, and the boy was going to sing – The Muffin Man. They had also invited our neighbors who are about our age. I think the 4 of us are like grandparents for the kids.  Their whole family is so cute. We love them. But first we needed to clean the church. We went early in case we could start a little earlier than 8am, but the leaders didn’t show up until 10 minutes late. We warned them that we had to leave by 8:30 but that we would help get it as good as we could in 20 minutes. So we cleaned the chapel, va...

Blatant Blessings 2

This month someone stole our extension ladder. Ok, it was in the back yard, fully visible, but it is the first time anything has been stolen from our yard. I guess we'll have to start putting things away. A while back my favorite camera died. I looked into getting it fixed, but it was over 3 years old, so I doubt it is worth it. Tom bought me a new camera for Christmas, but he bought me the camera he always wanted, and now he's carrying it with him for work. The ride-on lawnmower died. Tom looked at it and took it apart and found it needed a new pully. We've started having problems with the internet losing connection over and over. I finally gave up and called AT&T (a thing I try to avoid at all costs) and they told me I need a new modem. Mine was over a year old and suddenly became defective. You can't just go buy one either, you have to order it and wait for it to come in the mail. More money means it comes sooner; less money means you wait longer with unreliable ...

Tom’s Garden 6/12

Image
Tom doesn’t just like maintaining the yard – what he loves is creating lovely areas. He has worked for weeks on the area along the back of the house going to the garage. Today he finished getting sprinklers to all the pots. It’s really pretty along there now, except for all the junk on the other side of the sidewalk, but we won’t talk about that. He loves to have his vegetable garden, and likes putting flowers among the vegetables. He hopes to have lots of string beans, beets, cabbage, tomatoes, and cantaloupe this summer.         Tanya came over after her massage and we showed her Enola that we watched last night. It was just as good the 2 nd time and fun to watch with Tanya, who enjoyed all the funny parts, too.   We installed the new kitchen lights that we bought on Thursday. We replaced the ceiling fan first and had nothing but problems with it. The box that the fixture connects to was loose in the ceiling and we tried 4 or 5 different things...
