week of grace 04

1. Writing for August's "connection" synchroblog.

2. Two scoops of Thrifty ice cream again―this time Pistachio and Pecan Praline—always such a difficult decision!

3. Finding an 8.5" x 11" Academie sketchbook on sale to complete my set of three different sizes.

4. Serving as liturgist for Wednesday evening Vespers.

5. Dale Wood's amazing, stunning, stark, angular, dorian mode setting of the Magnificat in LBW Evening Prayer deserves a line of its own. It's truly a genius piece, with a melody range of only a single octave, d to d, no accidentals anywhere in melody or accompaniment. It also gets my wondering why the fairly recent ELW didn't include it?!

6. Getting to take the very first shower ever in the new tub in the new bathroom!

7. Greek salad for lunch at Panera.

8. Two menus to design this week! One of my fave things, and they always make excellent portfolio pieces!

9. Getting to read and comment on another of T's sermons.

10. Happy to be back sleeping in my bedroom after a month of upstairs bathroom renovation, etc.

11. A few more pics toward my future bicycles photo gallery for blog and Facebook design page.

12. Savory Fish Taco—as always, I added cilantro/ onion from the salsa bar and got to think how cool that cilantro is manna, though these green leaves definitely are not the Bread of Heaven part of the plant.
