Morning, everyone!

 

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) . . . Smiley Happy

Hi @ChiliPepper, good morning!  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 . . . Smiley Sad

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.
