Bells and flowers........
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!The medical typing got FINISHED yesterday around noon and I hope not to get hit with such a huge amount of it again anytime soon! After church today, I will spend the rest of the day getting ready for the Amish quilting trip that starts tomorrow....YAY!!! I am excited about it now! (I better dig out that bottomless Amish shopping bag.)
Here are a few images from my life this past week.......our bell choir after we played in church on Sunday. We practice one night a week and will now play one Sunday a month as well as at special holiday services. It's a lot of fun and our director is very good.
Next is hubby lighting the candles on the cake for Linda at the birthday dinner....yummy peanut butter/chocolate cake made by Ruth (who is in the orange shirt taking a picture).
Linda blowing out the candles...yes, she did it all in one breath BUT there weren't as many candles on the cake as there were years she was celebrating! (If there were, she might have needed two breaths! LOL)
And some of the remaining flowers in our yard, which won't be around much longer since an overnight freeze will hit here soon, I'm sure! The summer-blooming flowers were a bit sluggish this year with constant high temps day and night...but picked up a bit when we started to have some cool temps at night. I'm enjoying their last few blooms now.

Daughter's surgery today.....
Today...at 2 p.m. (eastern time) our daughter is to have tendon release surgery on her left knee. It's, supposedly, a minor procedure and she has a very good orthopedic surgeon (was once a team physician for the Pittsburgh Steelers) and it's being done at the hospital where she works......so.....I have a lot of confidence all will be well. She will be on crutches for a few days and off work until next Monday. Hopefully, there won't be a lot of pain and difficulty with her recovery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
As promised, below are a few photos at the place where we had our church picnic on Sunday afternoon....at Camp Arrowhead (the Episcopal Diocesan camp) on Rehoboth Bay. It was a very nice day and ended with a worship service in the chapel building at the camp. Tomorrow I'll show some photos from the FUN class I took yesterday with Gyleen Fitzgerald. If you ever get the chance to hear her lecture and / or take a class with her, DO IT!!! She is wonderful. I did a lot more on my quilt from the class last night...so I didn't get to read many blogs yesterday (sorry about that). I'll try to catch up later today.
Later today I also expect to get a mailing out to Janome. Thanks SO much to all who sent letters of support!!! Now....here are the church picnic photos.
The crowd lounging in their chairs near the food tables and the grill...burgers, hot dogs, and all kinds of yummy "potluck" dishes. I made a huge batch of cole slaw and then FORGOT to take it with me....DUH!!! (Guess you know what we are eating a LOT this week.)
A couple of the campers' cabins. I'm not sure how many they have...but it's quite a few...as they have a large summer sleepover and day camp program.
Several of the kids (and a few adults) took a swim. They said it was refreshing. We'd had some chilly nights, so I think it was probably, truthfully, COLD. The bottom is painted green....the water is not turning green!
A couple of brave souls went swimming in the bay. I don't think anyone took any of the little boats out or played archery. Some hiked around the trails that go through the woods. We saw a black snake slither by when we first got there, so I wasn't about to go hiking!!! I am not a snake person at all.
This is the folk group members getting ready to sing. They sang and played for the church service at the end of the picnic. Hubby is the guitar player all the way to the right in the photo. He was playing bass guitar that day.
