Last Thursday as I was driving to Victory, Justin sent me a photo in a text message. I waited until I was in the parking lot to look at it, and at first, couldn't figure out what he was sending me. All of a sudden, when made larger, I could pick out a Luther's Seal in the back window of the car. He asked me, "Do you know them?" He teases me because he thinks I know everyone from WI (I think I do, too!) and all other Lutherans. When I texted him back, I said, "Cool! I want one!" And, today, Justin presented me with my very own Luther's Seal!
Here is the photo Justin sent me. My seal is about 3" by 3"
I got water eyes when he gave it to me, I am so thankful for this thoughtful gift. I love it, just love it! Last week when I got into the church for class, I told Pastor H. about what he sent me and he remarked that these would be good things to have on hand for people. Tomorrow I will take mine in for 'show and tell' so they can see what is available, in case he wants to order some.
This afternoon I was at last able to get to the groomers for my clipping. Man, I was so shaggy already but was trying to put off my visit to time it right for my travels to WI. I will get back at just about the 30 day time frame between visits. I know I could get it cut up in WI but doubt it would cost me $14 like it does here. Plus I won't always have transportation so I just got it done now and hope it won't make me wacky before my next visit to see Barb, the groomer.
On the ride home I stopped in to see my friends at Great Hang Ups. All summer long I was pretty much absent so it was good to get caught up. I saw some beautiful artwork brought in for framing, including a giant piece Dee carried in to show us. It was commissioned, 6' tall. I don't know how she carried it around!
Because it's leaning back, it's hard to see or realize how tall it actually is. She has to transport the piece to the decorator's office, and from there will be framed and mounted. I'd love to see where this piece is going to be displayed, it is a private home's commission. This photo doesn't really do it justice, though, it is quite a striking piece. She worked from a photo and had to reproduce it times ten!
After my visit at the shop, I went to the store to get what I needed for making my food for the PACE event. I ran all over the store, often back-tracking, to find the groceries needed for my recipes plus the necessary items for serving. I am a bit nervous about trying my recipes on company so I got some back-up coffee cakes and a tray of cookies. Kay is getting the rest of the food and taking care of beverages, etc. except for my cranberry punch. She is borrowing a beverage dispenser from her friend so it will be a pretty display of my punch and her lemon water. Hate having to tote all this stuff upstairs, glad some can wait until Justin gets home!
