A New Day A Good Day.

 A new day...time to make it a good day.  Noah spent time with us...Had a rip roaring game of 3/13  and Noah won.  A wonderful way to spend some talk time with a grandson.  I made two more black masks with Eric in mind.  Never have to many masks.  They tend to get stinky!!!  Wash, wash for sure.  

Part of the plan for today is a morning at church with our Bread and Bowl program, providing a take out meal for community folks or just anyone who comes to the west lobby.  It takes about 6 people to get the meal together starting with pans of hot food coming from Second Helpings.  We add a vegetable which the church buys and then bread and desert donations from Krogers.  There is really very little cooking for us.  Just warming things up and then filling the carry out bags. It's lots of little jobs to get the big job ready.  We can have as many as 30 folks drop by between 11 and 12 o'clock.  

The working crew, much the same group of folks,  all wear  masks and gloves.   Many needy folks depend on this for at least two of their meals.  This program have been here for over 30 years now with folks usually eating in our community room.  The carry out program started in March.  We insist that if folks want a meal, they must wear a mask and wash their hands before entering the church.  And they comply.

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
