Thinking.

 That's a great habit...Thinking.  I'm thinking about family.  A whole bunch will be visiting next weekend.  So...when the house moves from just us two to a total at different points to 13...I've got to do some thinking.  Some things need to be moved out...Some things need to be pitched out and all of that helps my mind to stay focused on thinking.  It's a great exercise, thinking.  

So the house is pretty well ready and this next week the thinking will be about making easy meals ahead of time.    I've done that in the past and I can do that again.  It's just finding the old groove.  

Our Michigan family always seems to want a project or two when they come.  And believe me there have been many projects way to numerous to mention. The last one was the toilet!    Yes we have a new one never to be replaced again.  Some of you have seen it's  picture as it sat in the front yard.   Next weekend I really would like some help with raking flower beds and snipping back plants and cutting a few branches from the trees. I've done a bit but the bit seems to need a bit of help!  So...the weather says right now that Sat. will be a good day.  I'm hoping that holds.  It could be rainy.  Fingers crossed.  

A great day with Noah yesterday.  The card game...woo,  woo...I won.  And Noah lost big time.  Almost as big as Jared's loss of a few months ago.  Noah showed us a wonderful attitude saying he was keeping his score under 100...well..it was closer to under 200.  The three of us.  Noah, Stella and I took a walk around the block.  Stella needed to be carried home when we saw Eric's car in the driveway.  She doesn't like the grass. 

Tomorrow we'll actually be in church for church!  Andrew will be confirmed at the 11 am service.  It's been more than a year since being there for a service.  Yes...Bread and Bowl and some Visual Arts visits have brought me into the building but a worship service?  It will be a good morning.  The 8:30 service is open with  reservations but not yet the 11 o'clock service.  It's a one time deal for us. I'm thinking it could be a fall gift.  

Thinking is a good thing.  A gift to be used.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
