Coffee good, breakfast is too

Sounds like weather is coming in tonight. After all, it is Wisconsin.

Wonderful class last evening at the Cashton Library. Firefly did a great job teaching us about bulb planting in containers. They were very generous in supplying everything we needed at no cost to the participants. It is things like this that make small Village life good.

Have an awesome day

The United States is the land of my birth
The strongest and wealthiest country on earth
But the states aren’t all equal, I’m sorry to say
Wisconsin’s the pick of the fifty today.
I like Virginia, Montana, and Maine
But it’s here in Wisconsin I proudly remain
With walleyes and fish fries and hot apple pie
And the Badgerland motto: “Eat cheese or die!”
We’ve got forests and prairies, Breweries and dairies
Skiing on earth, skiing on snow
From Big Bend to Bayfield, Potosi to Plainfield
The Lucky ones live in Wisconsin!
Arizona’s too dry, Colorado’s too high
In Alaska you’ll freeze, In Georgia you’ll fry
Hawaii is so distant, it’s barely existent
California is crumbling, let’s all wave good-bye
Nevada’s too empty, the deserts don’t tempt me
In Kansas the forest, one lonesome tree
New York’s an anthill, a flesh and blood landfill
Too many lawyers run loose in DC
We’ve got silos and steeples
And down to earth peoples
Holsteins a plenty and Jerseys galore
From Lone Rock to Lena, New Glarus to Neenah
The Lucky ones live in Wisconsin! 
Minnesota and Michigan, are our friends
We get along fine with people next door
Illinois on the other hand, We couldn’t recommend
It’s flat as a pancake, spoiled to the core
The flatlanders visit us year after year
The root of the White Sox
They frighten our livestock
We hide all the children whenever they’re here
We’ve got sweetcorn and bratwurst
Chicago a lot worse
Our cheddar is better, our butter’s the best
From Monroe to Milwaukee, Waupun to Wausaukee
The Lucky ones live in Wisconsin!
Oh, we love Wisconsin… It’s winter you know
With gentle breezes blowing
Seventy miles per hour at fifty-two below
Oh, how we love Wisconsin, snow up to our rears
To breathe is a delight, with nostrils frozen tight
Yes, winter here is wonderful, we cannot leave
We’re stuck to the ground, frozen solid like trees
The lucky ones live in Wisconsin!

St. RICHARD is the father of 3 saints who preached the gospel in Germany. He had a special veneration for the Holy Family. He went on pilgrimage to Rome and died in Lucca on his way back. He is buried there in the Basilica of San Frediano.

Village quiet

Odd dream filled night making for sleepless night.  The man will be home this morning.  I have a short day, plan to keep it that way.

No coffee… no breakfast will have both later.

Today’s ponder… “If you want to impact the course of a life… start at birth.”

I have spent the last hour calling different businesses to find a particular item.

My dollars are so unimportant that businesses can’t be bothered to have a human answer their phone.

I can’t tell you how many minutes in that hour I spent going thru the robot que in 2 languages or more.

Good grief I live in America. Answer your phones with a human.

I have decided to put businesses that can’t use a human to answer their phone on my “never buy list unless you can’t find it anywhere else” list

Does this not bother anyone else

Coffee, passible

Funny thing, when you wake up early, no one else is in the house… laundry, dishes,vacuuming,office cleaning, and just about everything/anything can be accomplished because there is no one to be bothered by the noise. I’m liking that.

Attended the deanery meeting yesterday, good meeting. Only 6 in attendance, but good meeting. Fr. P spoke on the importance of mentoring. It was also noted we should be checking the ldccw an nccw websites. St John also has a website that should be checked.

I must find my sewing machine manuel.

Must get my letter writing done.

1st Friday (Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus) You can find more information on this monthly devotion at https://www.thecatholiccrusade.com/first-friday-devotion.html

Coffee, I woke to the scent of it. I was not disappointed at the taste.

My 3rd day off social media. It would be wrong to say I’ve wanted to check on it. This is why I deleted all the apps instead of deactivating from phone, tablet, and laptop.

Lovely dinner at my sister-in-law, Terese’s last evening. We must do this more often.

The man is headed to IA for the weekend, later today. I can then work on the Church website without interruption. https://stjohnthebaptistsummitridgewi.wordpress.com

Things to check out while online. 1)Chinese spy balloon over northern US and Canada, 2)new study reveals antidepressants are linked to rise in superbugs, 3)998 illegal alien children still remaining to be return to their parents, 4)the appeals court finding the federal gun ban on domestic violence offenders unconstutional, 5)the democrat proposal to remove Abraham Lincolns statue 6)H.Con.Res.9-Denouncing the horrors of socialism.

Spring will arrive Monday, March 20th, regardless of what Phil had to say yesterday. The amish greenhouses in the area will fire up their stoves in 2wks to begin planting seeds for bedding plants, and the maple syrup harvest prep work will begin after that. Have your seed catalogs arrived yet? Might want to consider planting a garden this year as the rising cost of food and the possibility of things you’d rather not have (read vaxx) being added to store food is high. (OK, don’t go there, you told me 4 yrs ago, I didn’t know what I was talking about and you now know it was all true. I find it amazing that you can’t acknowledge that.) Buy your canning supplies early, they’ll be a shortage of those things as well.

Waiting, that’s what I do. If fact have gotten quite good at it. Not sure how long I’ll be here today. I’ve armed myself with a good book.

The First Thursdays Devotion, also called the Act of Reparation to the Wounds of Jesus and to the Holy Eucharist, is a Catholic devotion to offer acts of reparation. It is based on purported apparitions of Christ at Balazar, Portugal, reported by Alexandrina Maria da Costa.

According to Alexandrina Maria da Costa, (popularly known as Alexandrina of Balazar, she experienced an apparition of Jesus on 25 February 1949, during which he requested a new devotion in reparation for his Holy Wounds, to be practiced on the first Thursday of every month.

Just starting a book today by Lincoln Child called “Deep Storm” 30 days ago I’d never heard of him. This will be my 4th book by him and I have a 5th in the wings.

Thriller, mystery, paranormal,etc makes me crawl between the book covers on pg one and not come out till the last sentence.
