Good morning, all!  I'm enjoying a cup of coffee here while I'm online.  The weather today couldn't be nicer-in the 60s right now, should be making it up to the 70s later on.  I headed to the farmer's market earlier to pick up some farm-fresh produce.

I've been very remiss in congratulating Lee for his usual wonderful job with CR.  Vermont is beautiful.  One question:  Can we get some of that wonderful Vermont maple syrup?

{{{Shel}}}  Welcome back!  Sounds like you had a wonderful tour to Italy.  If you post pictures do post a link so we can see all the places you went.  Congratulaions on your new man-can't wait to hear all about him.

Had my first Liturgy & Worship Commission meeting last night.  It was interesting, and it was good to hear the perspective of our Altar Guild (who do a magnificent job, BTW) and one of our vergers.  I think I'm really going to enjoy serving on this commission.  We're having our Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, and if I continue to do well, I think I'll bring Phoebe (my cat) to the blessing.  Now, if Jane brings her goat it will be very interesting!  We're doing ours in the Nave, and they're going to have post-service treats for the animals & their humans.  One of our assistant priests has been delivering flyers to every vet & pet supply store in Tulsa!  I'm looking forward to Sunday-and my cat adding her voice to the organ and singing!

I continue to make good progress.  The big thing now is stamina-I still tend to get tired easily.  The incision is healing very nicely.  I suppose the thing now is not to push things too much, huh.

Have a great day, everyone!
