Lead me, Lord, lead me…*

Well, another weekend has come and gone. I was busy, checking things off my to-do list.
I rescued a needlepoint picture at an estate sale…
…and I bought some needlework books at another estate sale (also a bag of scissors!) that I went to after church.
On the downside, Mike Matheny got fired and the wee babes canceled on our usual Sunday dinner, when we were also planning to celebrate the OM’s birthday. C’est la vie, life goes on. I am rather devastated about old Mike. Prayers to the Skipper and his family.
Sigh. The OM and I are saving the cake for his birthday on Tuesday.
I started re-reading a Delano Ames mystery from 1952, Murder, Maestro Please, which features husband and wife amateur detective team, Dagobert and Jane Brown. I am enjoying it very much. Dagobert, much to Jane’s chagrin sometimes, strives to encourage her literary career writing mysteries.
This encouragement takes nightmare forms. Our neighbors become creatures with sinister pasts to investigate. Everyday events become fraught with mystery and menace. We find clues everywhere. In the midst of life we are in crime fiction.
A wonderful diversion.
Happy Monday!
