Before I talk about the sewing I did today, I want to say how nice it was to see people we knew at church today. We zoomed in from home but this was one of the first weekends when the congregation was invited back into the physical building. I have missed my church community. (Many […]
Joey’s quilt is now basted, partially quilted and will soon need to be bound. I looked through all of my stash for a coordinating binding I had nothing that would do. That necessitated a trip to Joann. For some reason, I find that when I’m looking for something specific, there is nothing at the store […]
Today, like yesterday, started with an early morning walk. For some reason lately I have not been sleeping very well and a walk is all the energy I can muster. Kim texted me as I headed out the door and we got to speak for almost an hour. Being two hours ahead has its advantages […]
Mason got an early start out the door today for his 8:30 AM training at Holiday World. Walker was kind enough to drive him for me since I had an 8:50 AM dentist appointment that I didn’t want to miss. When the pandemic hit and the dentists’ offices closed, many appointments were cancelled. Unfortunately, Bill […]
I got an early start on the day because I had plans to meet a friend at 7:30 am for a little socially distant knitting. I love the Tuesday mornings when I wake up to my friend Cori’s podcast. Her episodes are just about an hour and she is full of great content and stories […]
It was nice to have a three day weekend. In some ways, it didn’t feel like a long weekend because everyone is home together so much of the time but since Bill has been working more again, it was a treat to have his company. The morning was delightful. I read my morning meditations and […]
Today was quite a mellow day but it was productive. We began the day prayerfully in the living room. While we attended virtual Mass, I knit a helical scrappy coffee cozy that I will gift to the baristas at Christmas. This technique of striping is magical and I never tire of it. It allows me […]
It’s all about the small details (like that little cozy I’m knitting) that make up a great day lately. Some of today’s highlights included good decaf coffee, a Zoom meeting with friends, texts with loved ones and friends, routines, and an evening walk with Bill. Bill took charge in the kitchen tonight. His next recipe […]
I caught this golden glow on the trees just before 6 am on my morning walk. It only lasted a few minutes but it warmed my heart. This morning I got a surprise text from my favorite barista, Jessica, that her son is being baptized on Monday. Owen was born here on May 8th but […]
Tonight would have been Mason’s graduation had we not been in a pandemic. To make the best of things, the school planned a drive-by parade to celebrate the students. We tried to make the best of things by creating a graduation celebration at home as well. The principal delivered streamers and markers to each family’s […]
