Throwback Thursday
1980-something - my brother & I looking sharp. I was also wearing a fabulous pair of corduroy knickers, like the berry ones here. Ha!

2015 Project 365 – Week Eight
Snow, cold, snow, cold, snow… Do
you sense a theme here? These days, I’m just holding onto the promise of spring…
But be forewarned – a monochromatic landscape did not stop Dr. M from taking a lot of photos this week :)
Sunday,
February 15th
Today
we had an organ re-dedication & recital by our longtime organist. She’s been
at my church (off & on) for 50 years! So we decided to surprise her after
the recital with a meal & gifts. She was very surprised – so much fun!

February 16th
Guess what? It snowed…
Dr. M, dressed for Mardi Gras…
Campus woodpecker.
Deer in a field.
I went to our Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner – nom nom
nom…
Wednesday,
February 18th
Dr. M’s commute on the way to
his 8:00 a.m. class. Just a bit
treacherous.
It cleared up later & I took
a walk OUTSIDE for a change.
Dr. M’s commute on the way home –
not much better!

I thought it was kind of rude to have
to go have my teeth cleaned with a wind chill of -23 f. But no cavities – woo hoo!
Scenes around the Bug Household.
Friday,
February 20th
When Dr. M got to school this
was on the copier – ha!
On his way home he took pictures
of waterfowl couples. Fun!
I had altar guild duty this
Sunday & decided to do my prep work on Friday because we were expecting
more snow on Saturday. I turned on my walking app just to see what it would
look like – made me laugh. Also, I was setting up a communion kit to take to
one of our shut-ins & I was highly amused by the tiny little purificator
(this is the cloth that’s used to wipe the chalice after a person sips the
wine). I put it next to a regular sized one for comparison. Aww – isn’t it
sweet?

Hope everyone has a great week!

Throwback Thursday
I feel as though I've shared this photo on my blog before, but I can't remember, so you probably can't either, right?
P.S. My brother loves it when I share this photo. Ha! I don't know why he minds - I look at least as dorky as he does, if not more :)

2015 Project 365 – Week Seven
I have been in a funk. I
realized late Monday night that I hadn’t written a blog post & thought, “meh.”
And the rest of the week was “meh” too. Don’t know why – perhaps I’ll snap out
of it soon. In the meantime, Dr. M has a blog post showing all his fabulous
birds – he had QUITE the bird week (eagles, hawks, herons…). Go here
to check it out!
Sunday,
February 8th
Finally
got my disgusting car washed. Woot!
I
forgot to tell Map My Walk that I was doing an indoor walk, so it tried to show
me where I had been. Made me laugh.
Monday,
February 9th
This is what a granny square
looks like when you frog it (rip it, rip it) – I was almost finished &
realized that I was too far off to try to fix it.
Tuesday,
February 10th
I was going to do a 10 on 10
post, but work was too busy – I took two pictures & then didn’t even
think about it until I was on my way home. In my “meh” state I decided to not
mess with it. This was my “before work” picture.
The temperature in my office.
Last week the air conditioner had been on, so I brought a thermometer in.
Sadly, even though my hands were freezing I decided that 67 degrees wasn’t low
enough to complain about. (Except to you people – to you I will say, “That’s Too
Darn Cold for Bug Working Conditions!”)
Dr. M took this really cool
picture of the sun – even it was in a funk…
Wednesday,
February 11th
I’ve completed 8 squares (2
designs) for the afghans I’m making. Keep in mind that I’m making four
different afghans – these squares don’t all go together. There will be 24
squares per afghan.
I got so many comments about my “blonde”
hair when I posted Tuesday’s picture on Facebook that I decided to take another
selfie in different light to show that my hair is NOT blonde. Although I think
my brain is blonde these days (yep, I’m referencing a stereotype there).
Thursday,
February 12th
A friend who has left the Episcopal
church for another denomination sent me these goodies – a sweatshirt and a bag
with the Episcopal shield on them. Score! Thanks Jayne!
I finished another square. I decided
to make all the ones of this design solid colors – because otherwise I’m going
to end up with some VERY busy afghans! I really like the windmill design on
this one.
Friday,
February 13th
Another Friday, another sun
pillar. Dr. M gets to see these – I have the sun at my back on my morning commute.
Steve had asked what a sun pillar was – it’s just a vertical shaft of light
extending upward or downward from the sun – which is different from a “sun dog”
– those sort of mini suns that appear on either side of the sun.
Campus bluejay.

Hope everyone has a great week!
