Pink Saturday Post

My Pink Saturday post is on my sewing blog this time. I put it there since it is a sewing related post. Next week I am planning for my Pink Saturday post to be on this blog. It all depends on what I am posting. The week after will probably be on the sewing blog. It is planned already, I just have not taken the picture(s) yet. This week is my first time to get involved in the Pink Saturday post and have my blog listed on Beverly's list. Click on the Pink Saturday in my side bar to see the list.

It will take me awhile to look through them all since we need to go out of town to a funeral Saturday morning. Or I should say this morning since it is now after midnight. Boy I am up late. The wife of a former pastor died last week. I was shocked and sadden to hear that. So we will go pick up my parents and take them. That way my dad does not need to drive. We are starting to do that more now. Go along with my parents to an out of town event so that we can do the driving. Once they bought our tickets to a concert so that we could do the driving. Now they are invited to a long time friend's 75th birthday party. Don't know yet if we also are invited. We tend to get things in the mail later than them. But if we are, that is another time where we should drive. Kind of strange to be now doing the things with my parents that they used to do for my grandparents when they were living. That is the cycle of life.

After work on Friday, we went over to my parents house for two reasons. One my husband goes to the VFW post meetings in there town. He knows more people there. Now is the post Chaplain. He was told they really like having him be the Chaplain. He really adds meaning to the stuff he reads out loud. Secondly, my mom and I were working on our photo posters for our presentation to our Women's group event at our church. We used 3 poster boards to display as many pictures as we could. They are stuck on the boards now. Tomorrow, or rather today after we get back from the funeral I will add the lettering under each picture. The presentation is about the Women of the Lutheran Church of America Triennal Gathering in Salt Lake City that we went to in July. It was held at the Salt Palace Convention Center. That is a big place. It was the first time for both of us and it was a wonderful experience. They had large screens so that you could see the speakers and other things easier. It was a very large room. From the back the speakers are too far away to see clearly. Another thing I was thrilled about is that they captioned the entire convention. Now as a hearing impaired person, that was awesome. I would have missed so much of the speakers presentations if the captioning was not there. The next one will be in Spokane, Washington in 2011. I am planning to go to that one. We are hoping my daughter will go also from whatever church she may be attending at the time.

Now I really better get to sleep if I am going to function at all later on. Happy Saturday. Keep those in the path of Ike in your prayers.
