Rummaging Around

The ReRun Shop had half price yesterday, so a friend and I checked it out. Got several tops and some "grand" stuff for the flower shoppe. 

Not much exciting happened, worked on the second "flag" wreath. Have it almost done. I have to attach pew clips to 12 bows that will go in the sanctuary. This is for a Red, White, and Blue Sunday honoring the first responders in our area. Our youth pastor is the chaplain for the State Patrol Post in Osceola. Each branch of responders will receive a framed print of an eagle and flag. I think that someone from the Des Moines area painted the picture. I was able to get a flag from Senator Grassley's office -- 5' x 8' to hang in the front of church. 

Mom's Barber Shop was in business last evening. It was nice to catch up on news from that Wires branch. Also got some tips for working with the graphics programs that Joel and I use. So thankful that I have a good teacher in the neighborhood. 

Spent some time with my Dad yesterday afternoon. Took him down to the Assisted Living's library and showed him my new web site for Just Silks -- the link is at the bottom of "About Me." Also showed him the Blog. He was very interested in the new pictures of Wesley. Joel and Amber take Wesley to see him on Tuesday evenings. 

Dad started sketching and drawing yesterday. I'm glad. It gives him something else to do. He is having a Vespers Service on Tuesday evenings, a Wednesday morning Bible Study, and has had a Sunday afternoon service for the last two Sundays. He has written two books and a couple of tracts since his stroke. I was informed that he has an outline for another book. His eyes are giving him problems, so we saw the eye doctor and surgeon. He will have his first cataract surgery May 9 and the probably the second surgery on the 23rd. 

Well must start my day.  Have a great day in the Lord.
