We got up at 8:10, a little later than I intended. We ate breakfast,
checked e-mail, then I showered, dressed, and went to church. I was
only expecting 4 kids today, but I had enough for 8. Two showed up.
They were pre-schoolers. I reviewed the story of the Prodigal Son.
Then we made the windchimes. One wet his pants (and the chair) so the
shepherd took him to get changed, which left me with one. But he was
the most energetic child I have ever seen. There was no keeping him in
his chair. He ran circles around the room. I did manage to keep him in
the room, though. As it turns out, he is the son of the lady in charge
of Sunday School. God bless her. I was so glad when the bell rang. I
started cleaning up the craft stuff. A man came up to me and started
talking about his experiences in the Navy. But there was a group of
kids doing an activity in the fellowship hall near us, so I could barely
hear him. I did catch that yesterday was his 80th birthday. When I
got to finish cleaning up, I took my materials to the car, and went
into the sanctuary. Chris joined me a little later. After church, he
went to the grocery store. I talked to a few people, and then headed
home. I stopped at Bed Bath and Beyond with my 20% off coupon. One of
my quilting friends told me that they sell a teflon cooking mat that can
be used for quilting. I did not find that, but something related. I
also got another popsicle maker. When I got home, Chris had already
finished putting the groceries away. I emptied the dishwasher and
refilled it. Then I ate lunch while reading e-mail. I listened to an
audio about spirituality and the brain. I sewed a border on a stack and
whack block and auditioned backing fabrics. Chris put the sheets in
the wash. I threw in a few fabrics, too. When they were done, I ironed
the fabrics and laid them aside. I came up for supper. Later we
watched a movie called "Walk Don't Run" starring Cary Grant. When
we came up, it was raining. Chris looked up one of the characters who
sounded so familiar - John Standing. But I could not figure out where I
have heard him before.
