What a beautiful week we had! I guess that helped make up
for all the rain. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck again. We’re back in the
oven again today – but that’s a little more normal than running my car heater
on the way to work like I did this past week. And that’s enough talk about the
weather – for now.

It was Pentecost Sunday at church. As I said on Facebook, the
paradigm of church might be changing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still
gather together to listen to God’s still speaking voice. And isn’t that a
glorious arrangement on the altar?
Dr. M took a picture of the neighbor’s driveway. I guess it
was a glorious week for me since I didn’t have to contend with this type of
damage – yikes!

Flowers after the rain.
I got home from Monthly Monday Mexican night to a very
exciting shipment! I’ve been salivating over Scheepjes yarn for a while & I
finally found an excuse to order some. Also pictured, the rice heart from my
meal. Awww.

Did I mention that the weather was fabulous? Dr. M did some
deck sitting.
I started my project!

Dr. M quickly decided that hooking up the trailer to borrow
his dad’s mower was not going to work for us after he has back surgery (and
really he shouldn’t be doing stuff like that now). So he found this cute used
mower that will be my baby. Can’t wait to try Little Red Riding Good out!

Here is a long boring story about how I got my new work
nickname. I wore this to work & my boss commented that it was a nice suit
& she hoped I didn’t have a job interview. I said that I thought this suit
was a little casual for job interviews & that I thought of it as my Miami
Vice look (and that in fact it probably went back to that era). After she &
my coworker stopped laughing they decided that my new nickname is Miami. (My
old nickname was Eagle Eye because I have a really irritating habit of noticing
misspellings & such. Really. Irritating.)
The Roy has a cone of shame – we’re not sure why – but it
doesn’t stop him from getting good scritches!

There is a fabulous bank of daylilies on our main road. Dr.
M was able to get a pretty good picture of them.

We spent some time with Dr. M’s Pop. Dr. M took me to the
grocery store to show me what kinds of things he gets his dad – this will be my
job while he’s recuperating. Not pictured: about forty eleven cans of cat food.
Making progress! One of these is done, but the other two
have a ways to go yet.
I spent today (Father's Day!) hanging out with my dad (Mall walking! Eating!),
and I’ve been working on this post “talking” to you guys. I think I might be
extroverted out. Sorry Dr. M – no more communicating today. I shall silently
make the beds with our clean sheets & then I shall silently crochet &
then I shall silently go to bed about an hour early. Good night.
Your newest project is very colourful and intricate. Your speed in crochet never fails to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your riding mower! I think you'll love it.
so, are those coasters? very cool looking whatever they are. and not to be judgemental and all but Dr. M's dad has a crappy diet.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love a good yarn pic - GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThat drive - YIKES! What happened???
that is a gorgeous arrangement for church. Love the colors
Yeah, what happened to that driveway?! Love the flowers, as always!
ReplyDeleteThe cats must eat, even if no one else does.
ReplyDeleteBefore long I'm going to need a riding lawnmower for my lawn. My son will more than likely move away at some point and my daughter will be going to college.
ReplyDeleteYour "Monthly Monday Mexican" sounds a lot more fun than our "Mandatory Monday Meeting" at work - ha!
ReplyDeleteI think "Miami" and "Eagle Eye" are very appropriate nicknames for you. One of my co-workers once called me "Grammar Hammer." Not sure if that's good or bad.
