See Macy Sew

Macy called yesterday evening and said she wanted to visit.  She had something special in mind I was to discover.  Not the usual desire to visit the chickens.  She wanted to learn to sew.  A pillow seemed to be a simple start.  She chose her fabric and some shiny buttons.  We cut a nice contrasting wool heart in her favorite color, blue.  She hand stitched it and the buttons on, and then, with a little help, we got the pillow stitched up and stuffed.  Did I mention that she is only six and left handed???  She did a great job!  We finished the visit with some flower picking and arranging, resulting in a nice bouquet to present to her mom when she came to pick her up.

Last night was one of those sleepless nights.......probably because I knew I had to be up at six this morning.  I spent the day at a training session for the Good News Club, which our church will be presenting again this year at our local elementary school.  It is a wonderful program and has introduced many children to Jesus.  We have over 120 children already registered.

Afterwards we went to Becky & Kit's for BBQ Dinner following Turin's annual Tractor Pull.  It was a great dinner.  Thanks, guys.

Got the last book from the lot I ordered this week in the mail today.  A wonderful, classic cookbook recommended by good friend Laura, whose family has sworn by it for years.  The price was right on eBay.....just under $8 including shipping!

Being pooped due to a busy day and lack of sleep, a nice hot soak in the tub was called for.........during which I started and completed this sweet read.......grab the tissues if you decide to partake.

And now, it is time to fall in the bed.  Sunday School and Church tomorrow.............

GRATITUDES:

The opportunity to make memories with family.

Freedom to practice my religion without fear.

Volunteers.

Folks who love animals.

Take care,
