No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Enjoying some cookies…

…as I watch the Jaguar game. We had a bake sale at church today and it pays to shop at the end of the sale. Although most of the gooey stuff had already gone out the door, I came home with 18 cookies, divided between three plates, and man, are they delicious!!! It turned out my BFF, Judy C., made them, called Fingerprint Cookies or something like that, with strawberry jelly on top of them. LuAnn told me to take all three plates for a dollar, too good to pass up! She suggested I share with my neighbors and I am going to do that after the football game is over. Think I will walk over to see MamMa and take her some special treats. She does not have to know the cookies are only a nickel apiece!

Having spell check is such a blessing as I type and look at the TV at the same time. All the boo-boos are illuminated and sometimes there are more mistakes when I am not watching football. No rhyme or reason to mistake making, it seems. This game is back and forth, the Browns have taken a liking to our quarterback and accepting his passes as their own, or pulling the ball loose from my little sweetheart, Maurice Jones-Drew. They are beating the Jags at this moment but that can change, unless the Jaguars quit fighting.

We had a ‘meeting’ instead of Bible study today where we were to go over the two recent ‘experimental’ services conducted at GS. I had to take an aspirin about halfway in, let’s just leave it at that. The good news is that next week we get back to our study of Luther and the Confessions, perhaps even getting to The Smallcald Articles, which I believe we had studied about 5-6 years ago, when Mom used to winter with me. Now this is what I’m talkin’ about!!!

While everyone else was buying their bakery, I was in the church office stapling the Ladies’ Advent Service folders together. Today I encouraged more ladies to sign-up with several bringing desserts so now I am not even considering cancelling like I was as of Friday. Thus far we have enough names almost three tables so I need another person to host a table, or I will need to. Already I had planned to do the dessert table but might have to reconsider. Since I do all the readings and lead the music, I really will not have a place to call my own as far as sitting down goes. No room in the inn for me!

It seems this game is requiring my attention as the Jaguars are intent upon giving the ball to the other team. Again and again and again with the turnovers! Once, you can overlook, but my goodness, this is like the fourth time they took the ball away from us. The Jags will need an aspirin, too, like I did earlier today!
