Tonight is the artist reception for the "Parable" art exhibit in Darien. I'm curious to see what other artists have submitted. As I understand, there are no other wood carvings. My friend Pauline submitted a piece of pottery. I'll have to remember to take pictures.
Sunday is LWML Sunday, and we provide the goodies for the coffee and. I ran across a recipe for pear upside down cake that I am going to try. It is served with pumpkin spice mixed in cool whip which sounds yum. We also perform a skit, which this year is Camp Woe-Be-Gone. Sounds like fun and the congregation usually get a big kick out of it.

Fall Festival
I spent the day at the Fall Festival at the Children's Farm in Palos. The weather forecast was for showers all day, but the day was partly cloudy and sunshine, a really nice fall day. There was a nice crowd all day. We (woodcarvers) sat on the porch of the Anderson Building and actually had more people coming up there to see what we were doing than last time. Of course John, one of the carvers told every one who got off the hay ride to go up and see us. I sold one little lamb. A young girl maybe 10 to 12 asked the price and I told her the lamb was $10 and she negotiated me down to $5. Boy that kid sure knew how to strike a bargain. Karrie and Katie came out and we had lunch together. Her mama is just so busy that she had to come where Mama was.
Tomorrow is Octoberfest at Church. Its a German dinner served by our youth for a free will offering. No beer.

A Nice Day
It's a lovely day today. Had an appointment with a financial advisor and he cancelled making the day even better.
I posted the recipe for the Twinkie cake in the Mom, whats cooking blog site. It has been a hit the two times that I made it. The original recipe just calls for Twinkies, jello and cool whip but once I added fresh strawberries with strawberry jello and for our Sunday pot luck I used cherry pie filling and cherry jello. Speaking of pot luck, it still amazes me of the different dishes that are brought. We had turkey, meatballs Italian sausage, noodle dishes. I made a tomato salad and the Twinkie cake. Both were well received.
I went to the doctor yesterday for my wellness check and to get prescriptions for the next six months. I got a good report, cholesterol and blood pressure, thanks pills. I also asked him to confirm my diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis, which he did. He gave me some exercises to do and anti-inflammatory patches to put on my heel. Hope this works, if it doesn't he will give a steroid shot in the heel which he says might be painful. When a doctor says it will be painful, it usually is horrendous.

Tai Chi
It's not for me. I took a class this morning at The Center and my knees are killing me. Even though it's slow movements, it is very hard on the legs. I always wanted to try it and I did. The teacher says all of your energy comes from the stomach area(I forgot what she called it), if that is so, based on the size of my gut I should be like the Energizer Bunny. I can scratch another thing off of my bucket list.

Parables
The Widow's mites.
Feeding the 5,000
The Parable carvings are done! I'll be taking them over to Emmanuel Church later this week. It should be fun to see an art show based on parables. Now I need a new project. I have a piece of wood and some pictures of the Chapel at the Center, so that might be my next project. Seems like I'm getting in a rut of relief carving, but just haven't had any animals or caricatures come to mind. I need inspiration.

Woodcarving
Yesterday was the first day of woodcarving class for the season. Most every one returned and even have two new women, a mother and daughter. We'll see how long they last. Keith is his usual funny guy, always joking around. I have to finish the parable carvings and turn them in next Saturday for the parable art show.
Today I'm taking back my Martha Stewart pot back to Macy's. There is a recall on them because they might chip.

I'm Pooped
Today was the LWML Mighty Mite Morn. We gather in Church for a brief church service and then down to the church basement for lunch. Marianne and I served today. Marianne made a bunch of spaghetti and sauce, I made tomato salad, Texas sheet cake and strawberry twinkie cake.Betty brought the bread and plates and tablecloths, she couldn't help today because of a doctor appointment. We were missing quite a few ladies today, but did have Pastor, Jason the organist and Ben the DCE intern.
