Mondays are “clean up and look ahead” days.
The photocopier repairman showed up. We used to get accordion paper, crinkled and scorched. Now the flow is even and smooth.
The latest grapevine news arrived and I heard it substantiated by at least one other. I’m not adverse to the grapevine for news, but for malicious gossip . . . that’s the bane of a useful and successful networking system.
We booked in the Continental Singers for October 9th. We were able to come up with billets to take most of the group, and I expect in the next week or so we will fill that out. You can check out their website here.
I came home to work on a project. We have some single mothers coming to our church. The purchase of a high chair was necessary. Then we needed a booster chair. We borrowed one, but thought we would purchase one. The foray to the store brought back a price tag of at least $30.00. That’s all we brought back — the price tag!! I decided to find some old wood, dragged my saw up from the basement, did a little routering, put on some varathane — and, voila! — a thirty dollar booster chair crafted in unique fashion. One of a kind probably means I’ll be able to sell it as a hand crafted antique in a few years. By that time, I’ll also be the antique! Well worn and much the better for age (alright, maybe that’s a stretch — at least I can say that I’ll be older.).
And so the day ends. I’m off to have a piece of chocolate cake with real whipped cream. Eat your hearts out!
