Sunday, November 26, 2017 - Church, Sisterfest, Deming Family Seminar,  Filework, Dean Returns

I didn't sleep well last night without my dear husband here with me.  I was cold all night long, and slept with a jacket on and finally had to lay pillows over my feet in order to get to sleep.  I did have the heat on, although not real high, but I never feel that cold when he's here with me.  It was another night of being awake until midnight or later. I really didn't want to get up this morning and finally was warm enough that I slept in until 5:30 or so.

I enjoyed my coffee and reading some emails before having breakfast and doing a few things here in Bentley before I getting ready for church.  Since Dean was gone, I chose not to walk this morning.  About 10:00 I headed to Sherman, KS where we enjoyed some great music and a wonderful sermon by our Pastor, Roger.  Haleigh (my granddaughter) rode back to Oswego with me.  She is babysitting this afternoon/evening and Misti was staying to help decorate the church for Christmas.  I dropped Haleigh off at her house and headed to Bentley.  I ate a little snack for lunch and then drove to my sister Jody's for our weekly sisterfest.  Cindy wasn't feeling well today so it was just Jody, Crystal and I.  We had a nice visit, as usual.  Jody served us a choice of no-bake cookies or some kind of pumpkin dessert.  I chose the pumpkin (it was delicious) and Crystal took the no-bake (she's not a pumpkin fan).  

I left Jody's early in order to attend an event at "The Church" - formerly the Oswego Presbyterian Church where Dr. Frank S. Deming, Jr. was giving a seminar on the Deming family, owners of the Deming Investment Company in Oswego from 1882 to 1955; and the Elliott family that served as minister of the Oswego Presbyterian Church.  Oswego is celebrating their 150th birthday this year and this is one of the activities that was scheduled in remembrance of the city's history.  Dr. Deming was very, very interesting.  While he never lived in Oswego he visited often and had many, many fond memories of those visits that he shared.  For additional information on Dr. Deming's great-great-grandfather, Robert Orin Deming, President of the Deming Investment Company, click here.  

I mentioned in a previous post that I brought all of our personal files from our file cabinet to Bentley, so I could sort through them.  I knew there was quite a bit of outdated information in the files so I wanted to get the files cleaned up before we leave Oswego for the winter.  I worked on them for awhile and then stopped to fix something to eat - a warmed up pork chop from a few nights ago. It tasted even better tonight.

I could not get back into sorting through those files, so I turned on Hallmark and watched a couple of Christmas movies.  The first one, which I had seen before, was pretty good, but I saw very little of the second one as I drifted in and out of sleep.  Dean called me around 7:00 to let me know he was leaving Wichita.  It sure seemed like a really long, long time before he called me at 10:00 to say he was just coming into Oswego.  

He arrived a short time later and I sure was glad to see him.  We talked for a short while, but we were both pretty tired and headed to bed soon afterwards.  Funny, how warm it felt tonight with my sweetheart at home!
