The Never Ending Projects

Image
I have myself in quite the mess. I am calling in the Never Ending Project Syndrome. You see, I started this before the Open House and never quite got it finished.  Now it is in the way and needs done and out of there but, I paint and paint and paint and there seems to be no end to it. And then I got myself into this project.  A man at our church goes to two nursing homes every Sunday and worships with the residents. What a ministry he has! I offered to make walker/wheelchair bags for his (what I thought was a little) flock. Two Sundays ago, I told him that I would have them in a week for him and oh, by the way, how many do you actually need? My mind was wrapped around the number 12. THIRTY!  was the number I heard him say. "THIRTY!" I repeated just a trifle louder and more panicked than I probably should have. Thirty it is.  I offered. So I am sewing and sewing and sewing and sewing. And then these little buggers. I had my Dad cut these way back in January....

How I Spent my Mother's Day

John and I both ran in the Race for the Cure in Pittsburgh today. What a great event! This was my first running 5k, having walked in one on Saturday. Not an impressive finish unless you take into account that I really didn't train for it. I walked/ran a total of less than eleven miles in preparation for the event and before last week, the most exercise I got was chasing grandchildren and knitting. My time was 40 minutes and 49 seconds, well down in the pack, but I did it. Now I will start training for the next one. Is this addictive or what? John finished in under 30 minutes, but for some reason his name will not come up on the website. Impressive finish for him.
