A dear friend just sent me this cute graphic. (Thanks, Barbara) Apparently blogging goes by the wayside too. I spent the day working on Claire's quilt and never got back here to blog. I am piecing the backing now. I can't wait to put it together and start hand quilting it. The Tweetlebugs are coming over tomorrow while their mommy goes shopping. Claire knows I'm making it for her and can't wait to see it.

Word of the day:
Wednesday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel
Mk 8:22-26

When Jesus and his disciples arrived at Bethsaida,
people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on the man and asked,
"Do you see anything?"
Looking up the man replied, "I see people looking like trees and walking."
Then he laid hands on the man's eyes a second time and he saw clearly;
his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.
Then he sent him home and said, "Do not even go into the village."

Thoughts from the cornfield:
What do you suppose this man did?
A. Went straight home.
B. Took a detour through town.
C. Shouted with joy and told everyone he met.

God bless our troops!
