Sara – a book discovery?

Hi, everyone,  I just thought I would share a book I stumbled on at Amazon…oddly enough it was listed on a list for the Kindle, but is not published for Kindle!  At any rate, 3 5-star reviews for…

Sara – had good intentions too…

But like Lynn, I have let the time slip by without posting.  Have had a work crunch with a number of funerals, instituting a change in liturgy procedure  (Catholics are dreadful when it comes to handling change…), and Christmas planning.  Plus I discovered last week that the musician I was counting on to take my [...]

Sara – it’s been snowing here – ugh

On Monday flowers were still blooming…

On Thursday my patio looked like this…

I will go out and take some photos later so you can see the dreadful effects of snow that comes too soon.  Most leaves were still on the trees, so many trees were weighted down and broken by this snow.  One rather near my [...]

Sara – yucky weather but mostly, too much work…

Hello, folks,
I am backslidden, as they say in Protestant evangelical circles, and cannot get into those jeans…I blame it on too much work which always leads to stress eating…& in bad weather, less walking.  My gym membership resumes on Oct. 1st so after that I will have no excuse…probably won’t keep me from making one, [...]

Sara – Happy new year! Rosh Hashanah, that is…

Hello, all – no, I am not Jewish but I do celebrate the new year with my friends who graciously include me.  I learned all the prayers when I sang in a temple in Miami.  We’ve had some nice weather here – the main impediment to my exercise has been work – too much paperwork [...]

Hi, everybody,
My planning work for the fall is upon me and indeed, threatening to submerge me…I am sorry to be late posting & am also going to have to post & run but I promise to be back later this evening to read your posts & comment.  Thanks for your patience.
I haven’t the patience to [...]

Sara – Hot hot hot…

Did I say hot?   Very humid also.   It does sap one’s energy.  Also I’m doing all the hymns for next year which gets a bit draining as well.  But I’m nearly done with that…then there is schedule and choir music to choose.   I’m really trying to do 10,000 steps a day and [...]
