4th in Lent or Mother's Day

I seem to have been rather lethargic this weekend, so this is going to be brief.   It has been a lovely warm day, I think the temperature got up to 80 at one point.

I went to the adult Sunday school at Emmanuel, but just didn't feel like going to the Service.  I contemplated several options, like the Episcopal church just outside Norman, but instead I joined Pattisue at University Baptist this evening, where they had an interesting speaker from OBU talking about the mission work the students there engage in.   I invited her back for some ice cream but she had things to do for her grand daughter.

I did have to go to Staples.   Because of my failing eyesight I needed a cross stitch chart enlarged.  I handed it to a young man who asked me how big I wanted it.  I wondered, rather irritably, why he had to confuse me, how do I know what dimensions would be possible, or best.   A woman would have just taken it away and got on with it.

Well, he certainly made it big enough.  I can see that. I hope I will be able to see the squares in the fabric equally well.   It is going to be a little cushion (I think, I might end up framing it) for Mark and Mary's lad who is getting married.  All the family are very much into Irish dancing, and the bride's parents are too.  Timothy went to Dublin a while ago to compete in an international event there.  So I thought this would be appropriate.

Watching the news I thought this was an interesting item on autism, we seem to hear a lot about it lately.

Apparently it affects 1 in 68 children, which I thought was rather high.   The average age of detection is four and a half, which is too late.   The earlier it is detected the better the chances of success in treatment.   It is fairly well known that it affects boys more than girls, and the ratio is 5:1.

I had quite a long nap this afternoon before going to University Baptist.   Perhaps tomorrow will be a more exciting day.
