2025

 The year 2025 begins with amazement…how can it be 2025?

I have about 12 tiles ready to fire when I return home.  It is always fun to see if they turn out right.  I also have a red clay butterfly to fire, but I need to paint first.  Or should I fire and then paint?  I really don’t know that much about working with clay.

The next journey of self will be to get back to where I was before Thanksgiving with my weight.  Yep the sweets have been winning.  After all the work of loosing 30 lbs, I now have to buckle down and loose, probably 10..🤯

I am also starting an abbreviated daily reading of the Bible. Last year I was not successful.  

Day 1: Genesis 1:1-2:3

Day 2: Genesis 2:15-3:24

Day 3: Genesis  4:1-16

For Wednesday night ladies Bible class, we will start studying “Drawing Nearer to God”.  The book is based on the scripture in James 4:8

 Some of the Cards and tiles taken to the gift store.

 Pizza Crust

This is a very good dough.

 Working on cards with scripture.

 Fall is in the Air

What a change! Hot, hot all summer with humidity to make you drip. But when the calendar said it was now fall, all that changed.  Well almost all.  If you do any work outside, you will get hot, but there is a possibility of a cool evening breeze to enjoy outside. And the mornings! So nice and cool.

I have been slowly cleaning out the flower beds.  The okra plants have been cut down and submitted to waste management.. well, I did leave two plants that put on a pod every other day.  They are starting to put new growth out.  I think they will last until we have a frost.  But I have had enough okra for awhile.

The lantanas are looking better.  I have orange, pink, yellow, and white.  They are pretty hard to kill. 

I took 25 tiles and some cards to a local Bible gift store.  It will be interesting to see how they do.  Time will tell.

A Great Day

 A couple from church invited the whole congregation to their home Today for a time of fellowship and good food. It was a beautiful day ! 

I took some quick yeast rolls and a cranberry cake.  The rolls looked great, but I am pretty sure I left out the salt.  It was sitting on the counter, but I can’t remember putting it in. 🤔 

I can’t believe it is already November!  Nice time of the year to work in the yard and make plans for next year’s flowers.  I have zinnia seeds to plant, but I haven’t taken the time to do it.

April 2020

Well this is different!  This will be the year of quarantine.  I went to the store yesterday and joint the ones at Aldi with my face mask and gloves...now I wait in my home for 14 days to see if I have picked up the rascal.  So far it has been fine, but as time goes by I have been thinking of what I would run to the store for...not going though.  Amazon and I are becoming even more friendly.
