Lovely Autumn Day

On Wednesday, OCT 6, Terri A. & I traveled to St. Ansgar to eat lunch in the Blue Belle Inn and to see/listen to a Danish storyteller. Esben Longkniv was very entertaining with the story of a boy named Daniel in song and words. Some songs were in Danish and some in English. We even got to sing along with some of the songs! BTW we each had cottage pie with thatched roof to eat for lunch. I had carmel baked apples in puff pastry with ice cream and Terri had turtle cheesecake for dessert. YUM YUM!
I also bought a book written by the proprietor of the Inn, Sherrie Hansen, titled 'Night and Day'. It's about an American woman and a Danish man who meet over the Internet. It's S-t-e-a-m-y! Who would have thought!?!
My sister, Tina, has been in the hospital with a kidney stone. Lynne and I went to Spencer to see her in the hospital on Friday. She's home now.
I finished up the OCT/NOV CDA Newsletter and sent that out on Wednesday. Our next monthly meeting is Monday.
Marie sent me a postcard and a magnet from Gettysburg, PA. She said she didn't see any ghosts!
Today I am working at the Waldorf College from 3-11p. LONG DAY! It's been very quiet so far.
Lynne came home with Scott W. on Friday. I will take her back tomorrow morning, early. She's coming to the WC library to do some homework later today. And bring me supper, I hope!

AUTUMN GOD, the planet turns
and the earth signals a change.
Open me to the transitions I need to face in my own life.
Be with me in the letting go,
the saying good-bye to habits,
relationships,
and plans that stand in your way of growing.
Deepen my trust that as I let go,
like the falling leaves,
I will always fall into your embrace. Amen.
