The flurry of many days

Lots going on in these November days.

Saturday quilt guild, a lovely wedding ceremony of friends, vespers

Sunday liturgy, lunch, nap, walk, chili from a neighbour (so good!)

corn bread muffins the blue paper stained them! (not good!)

I also did more sewing of buttons (reinforcing) of my red coat that I got 

on a very very good sale last year in MI when visiting my +Aunt Karen...

Today cleaning the house and piles of laundry, reading, a short nap, dinner preparation. 

Also home things including switching out sugar bowls to pretty organic (on sale) sugar...

I baked cookies Friday (after sewing adventures)

and on Friday I got three unexpected treasures!

A book (again, I am guessing a poor cover though very vintage), 

a very encouraging card, pictures of Cornwall and lovely bookmark

that about made me cry from Elizabethd (thank you so much!) 

and a lovely washcloth and card from my longtime friend K...

and then today I got another DE Stevenson book (also from UK) and two beautiful

small cloth panels from a monastery friend who got them in Alaska! 

So I feel like God is showering me with blessings... 

we are still in early days of seeing if the hope for better re: our unbloggable situation

will work out and are praying... I feel like God is giving me gifts to encourage me

along the way, which is a blessing I do not discount. 

Tomorrow I have a friend over, Wed my Husband works from home,

Thursday liturgy and NYC and Friday home...

So a busy time.  

I have my Thanksgiving dinner ordered!

Well, time to prepare dinner, finish laundry and welcome my Husband 

home from another day in NYC. 

May God have mercy on us all!
