DOK and AC

Sunday Lily was installed into the Daughters of the King order at Trinity. It was a very solemn and moving installation.
The Order of the Daughters of the King (DOK) is a spiritual sisterhood of women dedicated to a life of Prayer, Service and Evangelism. We have made a commitment to Jesus as our Savior, and we follow Him as Lord of our lives. We are an Order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church, churches in communion with it, or churches in the Historic Episcopate.
And then that afternoon, feeling very pious, she flew off to Atlantic City to check out their casinos. That's the difference in an Episcopalian and a Baptist, I guess. No guilt!!! I gave her $25 and told her to turn it into thousands of dollars so I could have a good Christmas!
Anyways, I am babysitting Prissy. I think Lily will have problems when she gets back Friday. I have changed Prissy's schedule totally. She is getting up at 5 am; going to the park at 7:15 - even in the rain today- going to bed at 8 pm - who wants to watch the presidential debate when we have no idea how either man really will perform after January 20th. So when Lily returns and wants to sleep late (which she loves), Prissy may have another idea!!

I took time out of quilting the purple lap quilt yesterday to work on some curtains since it will soon be getting cold enough to want insulation on the windows with no storm windows - especially with Duke Energy wanting a 5% price hike.
Plus yesterday my sewing machine jammed up and I had to figure out what the problem was and how to fix it. I had noticed that my thread would jerk every now and then and the bobbin began to sound strange. When I took the cover off the machine, the thread (which was the incorrect kind of thread I found out when I finally got around to reading the label - I was only looking at the pretty shade of lavendar it was!) had wrapped around a vital gear intersection. So with a great deal of patience, I used the seam ripper and the tweezers to slowly unraveled yards of that pretty shade of lavendar. Today I had to go to Walmart and carefully pick out a close shade of lavendar in machine quilting thread. My bad!
Yesterday would have been my parents 75th wedding anniversary! Today is Aunt Mabel and Uncle Jimmy's anniversary. Don't know how many years it is but I'm sure it was a grand day in Ann Arbor, MI when they said "I do!" in that strange northern land with their southern accents!
