Just kidding....I actually adore it that you want to read my blurbs... I'm glad I made one of you lyao! That made me laugh. You are funny !
My computer wouldn't publish yesterday so here is yesterday's news. Just pretend you are a day behind in reading and it should all make sense! You read, while I finish my sandwich.
It is a sad day too though since my brother Randall's horse, Sapho, died today. That REALLY is the end of an era. I have pictures of Craig on her back when he was about 3 or 4, and Sapho was old then already!!!
My work went really well today! My friend Renata had her birthday yesterday and this morning I snuck into her office and hung up the "slingers" (Dutch tissue streamers) and she was soo surprised! I sneak in there all the time. You can do that when you have the keys to every room you know!! Members of the congregation are invited over for coffee every Thursday morning and we had about 13 or 14 this morning and someone brought a birthday cake and we all sang happy birthday.
Pilates felt soooo good. I had to go to church early to put the last of the table away and also the vacuum the carpet that we were about to get up close and personal with. I ran out of time this afternoon to squeeze all that in....so I was already sweaty when the workout started and we had to work really hard...
I also cleaned at Pastor Koole's today. It was very quiet since he left to lead the nursing home mid week service in town. But he made me a coffee before he left and I had two lekkere spritz koekjes. It was neat to ask him if he had a copy of some obscure recording that I had heard on CBC last weekend. Pastor Koole always listens to CBC, quite loud because he prefers to walk around the house without his hearing aid in, it drives him bananas. So the music is always my kind of decibel level, the kind that you can hear over the vacuum.
Oh, and let me tell you all about Kirby the wonder vac. This puppy weighs, like, 50 lbs and comes with all kinds of bells and whistles. It is cumbersome and awkward but combs the carpet like nothing else. It even has a transmission with two gears. Drive and neutral. It won't move if you have it in neutral, and come to think of it...I might have an easier time of vacuuming the stairs if that thing didn't always try to take off...I should try switching to neutral. Good thing I decided to blog tonight....another flash of brilliance just took place...and you were a witness to it.
It always looks so nice when everything is clean again...I just dust around the piles of stuff. I respect his things because he knows just where to find everything. He found those recordings in his vast collection in about 4 minutes! One is a 10 vinyl recording, very old...I hardly dare borrow it but I just love that piece. The other is an opera and I'm not the world's greatest fan of that but....this one sounds so compelling. No screetching sopranos or bellering tenors....well maybe just one, but it was mostly choral and it was so lovely. It is probably about a bunch of people dying from the plague or something and I am giving it etheral and uplifting qualities.... And it may sound all hoity toity and stuff, but if you listen to classical music for a year, you'll start to get favourite composers too!!! If it could happen to me, it could happen to you!
I really hope that this will publish tonight or else I just sat here and typed for nothing for a half hour. So we'll just have to wait and see. I couldn't send any emails either a while ago. I'm not retyping...so this could just end up down the big cyber drain.
Either way, I love you! Whethere you 'hear' it or not

Hey, I haven't been on the computer for 3 days. Missed ya, did ya miss me? I see that you had 0 comments. How disappointing is that! specially after typing for so long. I assume everyone else had busy weekends too.
By now, you checked out Kirby in neutral on the stairs. Hope that worked for you. :)
Have a great day! Love, Karen
