I guess I must be a leaky vessel because I need to be refilled on a constant basis. It's a little cool here in central Illinois. I don't think it got much above the mid 60s today.

I thought I was the only "leaky vessel". I read one time about this man that wanted to know why his friend went to church so much. Did he remember all the messages? The man's response was no, but in his life time he had had 1000's of meals and couldn't remember them either, but they nourished him. Sermons nourished his soul. I thought that was very well stated. I need nourishment often.

Church, a delicious lunch from Friday night's Chinese leftovers, wrote some letters (snailmail, no less), did a little family history, got thru several days' worth of ebay searches, updated the calendar, watched the finale of American Handyman, then off to bed. A great day!

Was the pig roast near Howard City?

I didn't go to church, I don't feel like I need to go to church to say my prayers and worship God. I had a great day, it was cool and cloudy here, so I chose to curl up on the couch and watch movies and enjoy the day.

I flew back to Ga from Mn. I got stuck in a traffic jam because of the rain and car accidents. I then went to the sports bar to watch my Vikins win over Detroit. Then I went home and chilled for the night. With a little work on my mini bow tucks for my daughter

We had a great start to the day - pasture irrigation at 2.30am, ugh. Speed's coverage of the Grand Prix of Singapore (F1 race) followed, starting at 4.30am - not a good result for my favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton :-(

DH cleaned the stalls while I got my shower and then we went up to watch the local dressage schooling show. That provided DH and I with a good excuse to visit our favorite fish and chip shop during the lunch break ;-) More dressage and then home to take care of the animals once again, lol.

I spent the day at home. Made a lasagna and some garlic bread. My younger daughter had to work so I delivered some lasagna to her and on the way, took some to my mom also. My oldest daughter came to see me and we worked on her project linus quilt. Then last night, I watched a movie with my husband. "The Bounty Hunter" It was a good movie and a wonderful day.

Had one of those days when I just couldn't get going. I felt exausted untill around supper time when I started to feel better. I hate those kind of days! I kept thinking about what I could be doing and it seemed to make me tired to just think about it!
I was on here a while, then I watched a couple of documentaries on Netflix. All in all a lazy day! :thumbdown:

I step out the door of my house and I am at church. My sanctuary is what Wakan Tanka has provided us to live in, the beautiful forest of the Pacific Northwest.

I spent the day seam ripping some hand quilting - a lot of it, watched the Vikings win (Go Vikes) and making a crock pot dinner out of the Quilting Board recipes). The one with the Italian Sausages. Man, that was good! Good day! Edie

Our weather is so nice here that I spent Sunday afternoon sitting on my front pourch doing my cross word puzzles. It was so peaseful.
When I was a little girl my mother always told us that she never sewed on Sundays as if you did you would have to take all the stitches out of your nose.I never knew what this meant and to this day still don't.If I sew a little on a Sunday I always feel gilty about it. Handquilter

In the morning I cleaned the house, company coming to have dinner and spend the night. Started to bake an apple/pear strudel pie, oven quit working, (husband was off getting another load of wood for winter). Company still coming. What to do????? Got out the electric roaster and finished the pie. Put the roast in. House smelled great by the time company got here. Husband looked for part for the oven on internet, lowest cost????? $181. Will be using the roaster for an oven for awhile....oh, and crock pot dinners too!!!!! Still had a great time with our friends. They left on Monday early afternoon, well fed and happy.

Went to church in the morning, had lunch and planted some mums, and then went to our small group bible study in the evening at a member's home. We had a pot luck dinner there.

grandma Janice 09-29-2010 07:58 PM

went to church, then went on a tour of some very expensive kitchens in our area. It was a fund raising project for our Gateway Woman's resource center. Then I came home to a dirty kitchen and found that the cleaning fairy didn't work on Sundays.bummer
