Saturday I went to a soup swap. Everyone brings 6 (plus or minus) quarts of one kind of soup. Then you drink wine, chat, hang out, eventually draw numbers, describe your soup, and then grab what you want in number order. I ate an entire quart of tom kha myself for dinner that night. Yum. It was a lot of fun and we may host one at our house sometime soon.
Kitty did an amazing job in church yesterday! For the first time ever, we sat in the santuary the whole service. We bailed to the narthex for announcements after she finally got too bored and bolted up the side aisle giggling, making lots of people laugh.
What changed? #1, she learned how to whisper reliably. We've been practicing in the library when we go about once a week. #2, I brought a couple sheets of stickers and a small pad of paper with to keep her occupied. #3, I realized how enamored she is of her rosary that usually hangs on the corner of a picture frame in her room. I told her she can wear it at church as long as she whispers only and cooperated. It worked!
And then I laughed and laughed. We have a beautiful holy water fountain in the narthex. Two fonts for dipping and a mosaic stepped pool. Yesterday, there was a matchbox car at the bottom.
This Saturday is the blessing of the pets (outdoors). We don't have a pet who would cooperate, but I think I'm going to bring K and her lovey (specifically mentioned as welcome). I think she would get a kick out of it.
