Y’know, I could very easily be a hoarder…I mean collector of odd items. 🙂
So when I saw this big old square bucket at a market in Haarlem I thought “that would look really cool on our dining table.”
Never mind that our dining room is decorated in turn of the century Victorian fashion…well except for all the other junk my mom and I have put in it….
Honestly the only thing that kept me from buying it was the knowledge that I would have to use it instead of my suitcase as my one carry on. It makes me think I should maybe never vacation in the States. Who knows what I would come back with?!?

Share Your World 2014 Week 11
This post was created for week 11 of Share Your World! Below is the link to the other week 11 share your world posts
http://ceenphotography.com/2014/03/17/share-your-world-2014-week-11/
Here are my thoughts on this week’s questions:
If you were an ice cream cone how many scoops and flavors would you be and why?
I think I would be one or two scoops of spumoni ice cream. Lots of layered flavor but not too much to handle.
Are you left or right-handed?
Right handed. Does that mean I am left brained?
Before making a phone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say?
Sometimes. It depends how important the call is. But I find many phone calls fall into a certain category so you can almost determine the direction of the call before you make it.
How many rings before you answer the phone?
In the office…one or two…At home usually three or four if I answer at all because I am usually nowhere near the phone. Many times at home I let it go to voice mail.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am really grateful for the staff God has given me to work on. They are a great bunch of people full of talent and encouragement! This coming week I am looking forward to our staff meeting and to the meeting of the Winchendon Enhancement Committee. We are bringing in students from the local high school to discuss direction for the new makerspace being created in town.

My sister and I thought they might be giant replicas of Christmas bulbs but we thought we’d sound really stupid asking.

A Jolly Book
It is time for SYW once again and this week Cee has come up with four humdinger- homerun-questions (is triple hyphenation linguistically correct?). I especially love the new question she is giving us!
Describe yourself in a word that starts with the first letter of your name.
Jolly.
If 100 people your age were chosen at random, how many do you think you’d find leading a more satisfying life than yours?
Not very many. I feel like I am living out my purpose and while I have not accomplished everything I set out to I am on my way. I have learned more than half the fun is in the journey anyway.
If you were a tree, would you become a book or furniture? Please describe.
Oh most definitely a book. It would be a big book for sure and for certain, no short stories or poetry compilations please! Just a flat-out adventure that goes on and on until it comes at last to a satisfying end leaving room for a sequel.
You are trapped in an elevator, who would you want to be trapped with?
I am assuming we can choose more than one person; So I would choose to be trapped with a really good storyteller to while away the time with, an optimist to keep our spirits up. A pizza delivery guy who just happened to be delivering Hawaiian pizza to the 15th floor and of course an elevator repair man/ acrobat who can climb through the ceiling tile like you see in the movies to fix what’s broken.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am grateful that God helped me to accomplish so much last week. Every week it just seems like the work expands along with the blessings. Here are some of the high lites from last week.
C.cada choir
Special Touch Bowl-A-Thon
I am loving this discipleship class

Spring Ahead
We lost an hour this weekend. Did you notice? I did!
Me facing the effects of spring ahead.
I started the weekend by meeting with one of my graduated interns (I have taken on at least one intern a year for the last seven years). He visited on Friday after his girlfriend(my current intern) ratted me out by telling him I haven’t been taking my days off. Truth be told who has time to take a day off when daylight savings time is almost over.
Evidently his visit effected me more deeply than I realized because on Saturday morning I woke up at 4 A.M. It made me feel like this.
But I did have to finish my sermon before choir practice. So I walked the dogs and then chopped at the keyboard until the sermon was finished.
By 8 I was at the church warming up. I’ve noticed that warm up has become more and more important as I age.
After three hours of singing I was off to the Special Touch Bowl-A -Thon.
Bowlers at Special Touch
We raised $4400.00 for people with disabilities to go to summer camp. We have another Bowl-a-thon scheduled next week and our hope is to clear $10,000.00.
After that I visited some friends for a fellowship gathering. The sunset was lovely.
At this point I was pretty tired. I was just sure I would sleep well. Four A.M. came and I was up (which was really three because we sprung ahead remember) once again. Sunday was two services…excellent services I might add but springing ahead has left me a bit unhinged.
So today I am taking my intern’s advice. It is almost eleven and I am still in my pajamas. I think I will watch TV and eat cookies. After all spring is here!

Perspectives Again
“The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close up.”
― Chuck Palahniuk
Church window?
Nope a wall in a coffee shop!
This post was created for Weekly Photo Challenge: Perspective. It’s the second time this week I have been prompted to think about how different conclusions can be reached about the same subject simply by the position I find myself standing in.
