Prayer Shawl

Diamond Prayer Shawl in Desert Sand

~We had Cleanup Day at the church. There were 13 of us & we picked up trash, trimmed bushes/trees, pulled weeds, aerated under the trees & sprayed for weeds. We were there from 9am-11:30am. I'm tired!

~Back home, I did a load of laundry, made a kid-size Sedona Hat in Pale yellow with strands of Oranges confetti & a Boa Scarf in LB Fancy Fur Brilliant Blue/CSS Cypress.

~We had bacon cheeseburger wraps for supper & watched Zombieland. It was awesome!!

Clear!

Wow, I am multi-lingual! English, Southern English & Personal Protection!!

~After doing a load of laundry, sorting the yarn from Karen, sweeping the floors & putting all the yardsale stuffin the spare bedroom, I spent the rest of the day being lazy.

~I made a Roseburg hat in RHS Cornmeal/unkonwn Light Olive.

~I made Mike a chicken bacon cheese wrap for supper.

~I worked on the Bon Bon lap blanket.

Bacon & tray!

I use this Nordic Ware microwave tray to cook the bacon below. I line it with a paper towel, put one layer of bacon on the put another paper towel over the bacon. Soaks up the grease & keeps it from splattering.
We were eating the Walmart brand of bacon, but I had a coupon & tried this Farmland brand. It is the smokiest by far! I cook up the whole package at one time using the tray above & store it in the fridge. We use it more like a condiment, as a flavoring for omelets & wraps.

~I finished the RHS Aruba Sea Comforting Shawl while watching news & drinking mocha this morning. I do have to weave in 4 ends, but it turned out very pretty! After being blessed, it will go to Gladys, via St. Mary's Prayer Shawl Ministry. She is graduating from nursing school May 13th & a celebration will be held for her.

~Mike drove me to work & finished what he could on the a/c. Now just to wait for the plumber to come look at the water lines. I was a little behind on printing bulletins, but did get them done. I also printed out more pamphlet labels. We gave out 11 bags at the food pantry. One of the regular ladies gave me Whopper eggs!

~I came home to a HUGE box from Karen: yarn, wall hangings, note cards, socks & a skirt. WooHoo!!

~Date Nite: After warm up, we did all weak-hand drills, which included drawing from the holster, reloading, failure drills, but, thankfully, no clearing of malfunctions. I did practice, during the break, clearing of Class-3 malfunction(double feed) & found a way that works for me. My Kahr is 3.75" & i cannot lock back the slide with one hand, so I hook the bottom of the magazine on my shoe & strip it out while holding the mag-release button. It ain't pretty or particularly fast, but it gets the job done.

You rule over the surging sea;when its waves mount up, you still them. Psalm 89:9

Marshall Lake

~We went to work early to finish the newsletter. Mike worked on the A/C & watered the trees. I mailed/filed bills, worked on bulletins & readings. I got Godiva chocolates for Administrative Professionals Day!

~We had grilled hotdog wraps for supper.

~I started putting together the Bon Bon/Turqua lap blanket with Black.

Mmmmmm!

Swedish Ginger Cookies

~Cool enough this morning to wear my blazer! Worked on bulletins, did edits to the newsletter & got it printed out. Typed up minutes from the April Vestry meeting.

~I made the last 5 granny squares in RHS Turqua for the Bon Bon lap blanket. I came up with a layout & will join it with Black.

~We had bacon cheeseburger wraps for supper.

~Mike had a meeting at 6pm, but was back home by 6:50pm.

~We watched Resident Evil:Apocalypse. I must have slept through most of it when we first watched it, because most of it didn't look familiar. Chicks+guns=AWESOME!!
