I am in the office this morning as the wake doesn't start until 2 pm. I feel your support, hugs and encouragement! Thank you all !
Unfortunatey, the Priest denied my two songs. Instead he said I could sing Ave Maria.
TEE HEE! Opera in Latin? LOL Not for this contemporary tenor/alto! The organist will sing that and one other the Priest picked. I'm a little sad as the two I had were terrific, fitting songs.
The organist was 'too busy' to meet me yesty or today to practice. A bit of a grump! Wait til he hears me ask to change to key of Amazing Grace into my range! UH OH!
I am meeting him at 9:30 tomorrow ...the mass starts at 10! Zeesh! Cutting it a little close? I am praying for peace that God will direct my path. This isn't about me, it is about a dear man so I will keep that in my heart! The other two I will be singing are Abide w/ Me and How Great Thou Art. Wonderful hymns that I have sung since birth...but again...a bit outta my key range!
Good morning @RespectLife, I was so glad to see your post today!
Please forgive me but I have zero experience in the selecting songs to sing in church category but how on earth could that lovely song be rejected? Goodness, that was a very big surprise for me but I know you will sing beautifully on the chosen selections (in your key) . . .

A while back, my normally docile Chloe became a snarling she-beast early in the morning . . . as I still had the sheer drapes closed I couldn't quite see what was going on until I turned on the light and opened them and there was a raccoon (very rare for around here). Our visitor quickly waddled off and there were no further incidents.
Is your feeder on a pole? Do you think it would help to grease it up? I know that worked for us with squirrels (if you remembered to reapply often).
Hi mtc! It is on a pole & the pole has appeared to have slid down so I will try raising that & see if it helps. Good idea my friend!
We have had reports of rabid animals in this County the last two weeks so I am extra cautious.

@ChiliPepper we used old motor oil and after greasing it up a few weeks I mixed in some Cayenne Pepper for good measure. I hated to do it but I figure it was better than blending the motor oil with poison . . .

(((Respect)))
Please include me with those who send you prayers and support for the difficult and heartbreaking day ahead.
Hoping everyone is having a productive and joyful day. Not much happening here, just off to run errands and walk the dog. I'll check back later to see how everyone is doing!

@mustang66lady Thanks, my friend. I copied the Martha Stewart recipe as soon as I read your message. You have given me plenty to get started on now that I know this dip is something that's not rare and exotic and existing only in one restaurant.
You inspired me, too -- while I was thinking about The Great Paperwork Hunt, I thought of one more place to check for a recipe I've been looking for -- on and off -- for about six months. Oooooh, the SATISFACTION when there it was! Cheers for both of us.

@RespectLife Praying that you'll feel our love and support lifting you up as you sing. I know your offering of song will mean so much to the family. May it bring peace and comfort to you as well as to all who hear you.
