Joy in the Day

Hello,

Went to bible study this morning and met two new people. Nice bonus to the experience. If these people ever wear the same clothes I might remember their names. The study was enlightening too.

This afternoon went to one of the women’s groups. Had a delightful time learning, or being reminded, about Dorcas. Before we got started one of the women told me that the leader “has some dementia so I help her”. All things considered it went off very well with just some repetition. She, being a former school teacher, even gave us homework. I was also impressed that she remembered who I was, but she knew Leroy better than some because her son was a friend of his.

When they ate they had a door prize of the centerpiece. One of the hostesses got the star on her plate so after some discussion she traded her plate for mine. I was not quite up to speed on what was happening until it was all finagled. The center piece looks wonderful on my table. It is a candle surrounded by autumn leaves. I will enjoy that especially since I do not buy decorative items as I have no desire to move them. I will figure out what to do with this candle ring when fall is over. Who knows I might keep it since it is very light weight therefore not such a big deal to move.

This evening I was enjoying a cup of tea as the sun was going down. The beauty and the warmth drew me outside to see it clearly. There was a monarch butterfly on the blooming sedum. That almost seemed like a miracle because while I have seen many butterflies, moths, or flickers on this plant none of them have been bigger than a quarter even with their wings expanded.
