IN Carmel

I love Mondays.  Why?  I'm not sure but the whole week is ahead of me all clean and ready for what is to come.  Yes.  I love Mondays.             From the kitchen window.  Mrs. Downy is visiting again having  a late dinner in the garden. And today was a fun day.  I left a few things behind.  No sewing, No ripping fabric. Just 10 minutes of filler knitting.  I was in the car going places.  My mind was doing some different thinking.  It was a fun day. I needed a change.                                                                                 Fresh flowers on the table.   The first trip out was south to 38th and Meridian street meaning church....

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                   Captured today from the Dahlia bed.  More treasures beyond measure.  I give today a 10.  It's the best score when numbers go from 1 to 10. 10 being the best!  There was a lot of do and a whole lot of energy to go with the do.  What could be better?  Nothing!!                                 An evil looking grass hopper.  I remember playing with them when a child. The day started with breakfast, of course!  Then I spent the morning sitting at the sewing machine on the same chair at my machine that my great mentor Doris sat on at her sewing machine.  She is never far away in my mind while sewing.  In fact if the bobbin runs out at exactly the right time, I say that's a Doris Douglas.  It happens once in ...

 Now here is some useful information.  It was Friday all day.  Well at least it was useful to me if it wasn't for you.  Every little bit of what ever it is...is helpful to me.  And the Fever crashed last night.  But I would say they have the game all they had.  There's always the next year.                                                         The color intensifies at cooler weather comes. Another good night of sleep.  That is after I got to sleep.  I'll take whatever I'm given.  The morning was all the usual stuff until I turned on the TV.  Humm.  Another Spectrum goof morning that lasted till the middle of the afternoon. I suspect more construction excuses.  I just love to hear someone talk.  That didn't happen. It was silent until I thought of Mo...

The third of three WNBA games is tonight.  Go Fever.  We have got to do it.  I act like I know how to do it.  That's a joke!  I don't but I can cheer.  I'm sure Nancy and I will be texting often tonight.   Woo.  The change in dosage in Thyroid medicine has made a dramatic change in my get up and go.  What was once a plodding drag through out the day is no more.  I feel more like I did at least six months ago. It took a while for this to appear again but it's here.         Not many of these left.  It wasn't a very good big zinnia summer for the garden.  Maybe next year. This morning a sleep till almost seven.  Breakfast happened and once again the sewing machine was turned on to finish the last four floor blankets for new born babies.  Then it was on to the burps putting together front and back pieces of fabric for 70 spit up burps.  Then a little knitting happened.  Then came ju...

                                                                                          Hanging High!                                                                                     T he  symbols of cross, star and circle along with the six colors are found on flags of many countries.  First...for sure the Fever won last night.  That's for sure.  Now Thursday will be the true test about moving on to the second set of playing the best of five....
