IN Carmel

 Today was another soup kitchen day for me.  I was a little late leaving home but we managed to get everything completed once again before the doors opened at 11.00.  We had a great crew with everyone present to provide food again to our visitors.  No absences.  No tardies.  Just super good workers.  Such good workers that I left a little after 11 just after the doors were open.  I need to do that more often.                                                                             Such a wonderful group of friends.  Sarah Ellen and I called our church buddy Linda of long ago who now lives in St. Paul, Minn.  just to chat and assure her that she has been with us though these days of turmoil.  Since her ne...

would say this was an OK day.  I was a tired girl last night falling asleep after supper with a wake up from Doug and then doing it all over again.  Back in bed at my usual 10 pm and then slept all night with no wake ups till 5:30.  I call that a really good night of restoration.   Today I took it pretty easy with one exception.  I count that a good day.  More later.  The morning was nothing new as you can see by the picture.  All the good stuff was within arms-reach while working on a guess what?  Of course scarf.   My Stanley keeps my coffee hot until I decide to pour coffee into my Kimmy tumbles.  Glasses waiting right beside more knitting.   Kat posted on face book that a good snowstorm was coming and all she needed was more yarn to take care of the weekend. And I think she proved that by the picture in H L.  I would say the big 4 now seems to be eggs, bread and milk with an added yarn. That would take c...

 We've eaten supper already and Doug is doing another uber run, the first of the week for Eric.  I'm tired and staying home to do the blog which is enough for now.                                                              A favorite color in the garden.  Today was a little different.  It started the same way with all the beginning stuff.  But then I listened and watched the Jack Smith event.  Those hearings are rough and I know that before one ever starts.  Todays was the same.  One thing I can say...the knitting needles flew completing another scarf in record time. I poured another protein drink for the afternoon.  And the new Greek Yogurt was really yummy.  I added some of that to my lunch.   One other thing was an irritant in another way....

  This jade plant was gifted to me from neighbor Kathy on my birthday two years ago.  It was one of many succulents in this pot.  Now it's the only plant that is taking up most of the room once occupied by many succulents.  They are living in other places.    Another midweek day with a surprise visit by the Big Blues.  Usually, a Monday holiday will give us a Thursday visit.  Well, not today.  Doug collected everything yesterday forgetting about the holiday.  But when he heard the trucks this morning it was a quick run to the street with the B Blues to meet the B Blues.  That got the day going pretty fast                                                                                    ...

Of course, we must start with Monday evening and the win.  The BIG TIME WIN!  The only one in my lifetime is one way to remember the event.  And if you guessed the I U Football Championship game...you are right. This teacher will give you an A+. What fun to be experiencing JOY in this case. It was an evening of pure exuberance hearing from friends vacationing in California with an earthquake happening in the middle of the game maybe IU caused, camping friends in Sterling, Mi and family members.   This morning, I turned on the sports TV station and relived last night again.  Another few hours of living with Monday's sweet memories.  It feels good to have positive vibes for a happening even if it's football. The kids gifted us with a positive Indiana experience. We'll make it last as long as we can. Another happening for me later this morning was another balance PT drill.  Sessions have been pretty easy so far, but today's assignments just didn't go...

                                                                   More Memories.  How could I forget. Today was a knitting day.  The TV was on good music.  NO Greenland, Denmark, Venezuela, Minnesota Sex Scandal, Putin or Trump., just music and needles.  I bought some yarn a few months ago that I really didn't like.  It was slippery to handle.  Today I decided to try knitting that yarn again.  It really wasn't as bad as I had remembered. A couple of more hours and I can put another scarf in the finished basket.   Another "amusement" was watching the birds.  It really wasn't very amusing most of the time, maybe maddening. Starlings and B. Birds both wanting to eat meal worms and me trying to outdo the Starlings.  IMPOSSIBLE.  I'm l...
