I Got Nothing

Today's high temperature was:   65 degrees

Today's humidity was:  75%

Yes, I wimped out and turned the furnace on for a few minutes to take the chill off.

=======================================

I made it to church--could have stayed home for all I got out of it.  We had a lay person who spoke in a low, monotone voice.  We had special music from an older lady who thinks she can still sing--she was professionally trained in operatic singing in her twenties, but now in her late sixties--too much vibrato and no one could understand a word she sang.  Then we had a lady give a talk on her motorcycle accident last year.  <yawn>.  The best thing?  One of the hymns we sang was "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."  As we walked to our cars, Pearl's husband said, "Almost as much fun as going to the dentist!"

Came home--rainy and cold all day.  I saw no one outside of their homes  Watched the Tiger's baseball game--they are beating up on the Philly's.  Watched a movie--watched a couple of Little House on The Prairie episodes--knitted on a baby blanket, cross stitched, read, fell asleep for an hour in my chair with cats laying on me and--believe it or not--worked on creating this year's Christmas card.

Then, I saw these pictures posted on Face Book.  Karen, Mark, Marcus and Stephen are in Portland, Oregon, to pick up Madeleine from Susanna and Derek's, where she has spent the month of July, studying ballet with the Portland Ballet Company.

Stephen, who will be a Sophomore at MSU this fall.

I didn't know he was wearing a beard!  Handsome!

and my pretty Karen

Also this--my nephew Adam, Susan's only child.

He turned 39 today.

I didn't know he was bearded either!

He works in the Michigan State Senate and is his township's commissioner

=========================

That's all I've got today kids.  Maybe tomorrow will be more exciting?
