I Hope You're Sitting Down....

....yeah...it's finally me!
I just took some time to see what all of you have been up to. Good times!

I've fallen off the face of the earth for a while but have returned. It's been a bit chaotic with work and play, and then trying to synchronize everyone's schedules. Having no computer was a bit of a problem too.

Our new modem seems to be the answer to the slowness and our access to the information highway has been restored....at the proper speed limit. We no longer go to the library to check our email and blogs. But you kind of get out of the habit of heading downstairs for the computer and it might take a while to restore that!

I'll try not to bore you with my past couple of weeks.....so just imagine a list of a 100 things here and we'll call it square. Saves me typing, and saves you reading!

I've been preparing the sanctuary for Advent. I was interim worship visual coordinator....which basically means, I decorated for Christmas. I hung up the banner that was chosen, changed the liturgical colour banners behind the pulpit from green to purple, made a background for the advent words to go on, hung up the stained glass panels(laminated black bristol board and tissue paper), set up the advent candles, filled two urns with dogwood and artificial pine (janitor's dream), and hung wreaths and handmade stars(some from dogwood and some from grape vine....way cool!) in the windows. I should take some pictures!!!! Ooooh neat idea.....one of these days!!


Oh yeah...the furnaces are installed and up and running. Woohoo! It will take a little figuring to get the thermostats set properly....it's been way too hot in the fellowship hall. Time to tinker I guess.


Tomorrow I am going shopping. I finished all my thursday work at church already and cleaned my potties at home today and am on the last load of laundry, tea towels for church. I'm so excited! I haven't felt this caught up in a long time. (Content sigh!)

Ray is in London with Craig at a concert, which Craig needs to attend and review for his music class. It's going to be a really good show....can't wait to hear how it was. Two friends from school went along, since they still needed to find a concert to attend and now have a ride. It's a classical music trio, piano, clarinet and bassoon, at a church in London, where the music director is debuting the new baby grand piano! He has played for Orchestra London, and his trio has played on CBC a number of times. They have a couple of cd's out too...and are giving this concert for free. I wish I was there....but Ray decided to pick Craig up at school after Reach For the Top, eat in London and just kill time at a nearby mall, and then go to the concert at 7:30.

So...Joe and I were home alone. We had left overs shepherd's pie for supper and only had to warm it up in the oven. Yeah! So....I shall go and make some lunches now and then Joe and I will watch a show....I think maybe Smallville is on. Even if it's a rerun....we haven't seen any of them.

Thanks...my sweet and faithful readers. It is special to be missed....you're funny Karen. Love you all so much!!!
