Catching some Vitamin D after hottubbing - NOW wouldn't you know, due to the sun's changing rays our deck, patio and hottub are mostly in the shade. We went in after lunch - and it felt so good! My legs kinda ached, so that was my reason. Paul said he had leg cramps last night. (He forgot that he didn't have his bar of soap at the end of his side of the bed. Yes. This does reduce legs cramping. )




Saturday, we didn't get out of the house til late afternoon. I should say, off the property, cause Paul definitely was outside doing work. I - remained inside - doing things. We both needed a break and decided to go to some stores in the Horseheads area. We came back missing half of the items needed because some stores were closed. For example: Paul needed special grass seed for the areas under the back trees. That will be taken care of today.







Since the work completed last week on our back forest area, it seems more open than before. I like it. There's like a road back there - close to the front. Paul has been gathering sticks and branches that have fallen from trees and made a fire pit. Saturday night, we sat around it...as much as two people can...and enjoyed staring into the flames. There's something about a fire that is mesmerizing. (NOT in California, mind you.) From there we went in to the hottub. That trip after going in and scrambling back into the house, is getting rather cold! Glad to have those warm robes. Now, we have to get something for our feet...because when the snow falls, bare feet won't swing it. It'll be kinda hard to enjoy running from the tub to the kitchen.







Heard some sad news yesterday, Edna, Paul's sister, fell and broke her hip. Or she seems to think she broke her hip first and fell. Plus she broke an arm. My goodness. We just saw her last weekend when we had such a nice family reunion. My understanding is that today she's getting a hip replacement. We've heard good reports about hip replacement surgery, and expect Edna to bounce back...perhaps that's not the correct terminology for such an injury, but you get the jist. We're thinking of her and wishing her well. She does read my blog, and sent me the recipe for snickerdoodles last week which we all love. I can remember her saying - you didn't lose that recipe before Neenee had some in Florida? She remembers that Neenee loves cinammon.







Sunday morning Paul wanted to go to the Moose Club for breakfast, and then we we thought we'd go on to the Presbyterian church in Watkins Glen. Both within very close mileage. However, the times didn't work out right. Breakfast at 9:00, church service at 11:00. We didn't want to eat breakfast much later. So we came home after breakfast, and and after a brief respite of reading the Sunday Papers, we went to FUMC (First United Methodist Church of Horseheads) at 10:30, got out at 11:30. Love those services that end within the time alloted!



It's a whole different story when you are new to a church, looking in, and not from the other end. To us, it's a unique situation. Paul's church was quite small and asked a lot of him in the way of construction problems, financial work, and other small or large concerns. After a long time of this, it was becaming old, tired news to him. He just wanted to worship in a church where he could sit back and let others do the things he felt he needed to do in the old one. I, being too far away from my old church, wanted one that was similar to the Bath church which had two services, a wonderful music department with a large choir, (I understand there's 30 now), bell choir, great organists (2), small choirs, youth choirs, and other musicians/soloists. I missed that. Plus you could even throw in several adult bible studies to the mix. I had been there more than thirty years. Paul had been in his church close to fifty!

That's all for now folks! What's happening in your neck of the woods?
