Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free...
Come out sailing at Alum Creek/ ACSA with us on our 21' boat, named After Math! We carry on the love of sailing through this boat which belonged to our math professor at Otterbein College. Dr. Deever's (RIP) family is happy we continue having adventures and sharing our passion with others. We welcome you aboard!
Be ready to work a little and learn some, too.
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see

Are the "waves" in your life overwhelming? Need a little down time to just enjoy the gentle lapping sounds of Lake Erie as it stirs on the beach? Join us for a relaxing day searching for "treasures" on the shores of Lake Erie. You may find beautiful rocks or beach glass, intriguing pieces of driftwood, or interesting bits of urbanite. What is urbanite, you ask? Join us and find out. We will provide the tools and knowledge you need to locate these treasures. We will also provide a picnic lunch. The pace will be set by the group; we can stay at one beach or explore several. We can even stop at Grandpa's Cheese Barn on the way up to buy snacks. As an Eco Justice component, we will also provide trash bags to help clean up any beaches we visit. This will be a full day, carpooling from the church at 8 am and returning by 6 pm. (If people want to stay longer we will be glad to, but dinner will be on your own.) 6 6 .00025E7 25 6/27/26 8:00 AM N N N

Vintage Hudson's Bay Point Blanket
Invalid Image LinkInvalid Image Link
The Cadillac of wool blankets, Hudson’s Bay blankets were made in North America from 1780 until their recent bankruptcy and closure just this past year (see https://thecavenderdiary.com/2013/01/11/the-history-of-the-hudsons-bay-point-blanket/ for a brief history). This particular blanket is at least 70 years old and is in excellent condition, handed down from my parents. I did hand stitch the top and bottom edges a few years ago when they began to ravel a bit, but it is otherwise intact and clean. This blanket measures 68 x 86 inches, perfect for a double bed; we also used it on our queen-size bed for many years, but alas it does not work at all on our new king bed, so we are reluctantly parting with it. An identical blanket, pink stripe with four points but with noticeable damage, is currently listed on eBay for $375. You can’t beat this deal and you will be toasty all winter. 1 1 .0005E7 50 N N N
