We have finalized the dates for our shows this fall. We will have 5 consecutive weekends of shows. Anna and I went to Saginaw and she laid in the supplies she will need for the mixes. We will head into the first show in the red. Hopefully we will make enough to put us in the black so we can pay ourselves from the remaining shows. The first show is in Carson City and that is supposed to be a pretty good show. We shall see.

The house smells of cinnamon. That's a good thing if you like cinnamon. I do, but not too strong. I've been making scented coasters so the cinnamon smell will be here for a while. Blended with the scent of 2 kinds of appley soap, it smells like October in her.

Word of the day:
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. Eleutherius, Abbot (c. 585)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 7:31-37.

Again he left the district of Tyre and went by way of Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, into the district of the Decapolis. And people brought to him a deaf man who had a speech impediment and begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him off by himself away from the crowd. He put his finger into the man's ears and, spitting, touched his tongue; then he looked up to heaven and groaned, and said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened!") And (immediately) the man's ears were opened, his speech impediment was removed, and he spoke plainly. He ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more he ordered them not to, the more they proclaimed it. They were exceedingly astonished and they said, "He has done all things well. He makes the deaf hear and (the) mute speak."
