Making It Right.

 Every Monday feels like a new beginning.  A week to make it right.  Sounds like a mercy event.  So...it's a new beginning, another chance.  The area around our patio and stretching across the entire back of the house is a flower garden of perennials.  The rain is putting the cherry on top.  So beautiful and full of another new beginning.  My kitchen window is the place to be with birds abounding.  How thoughtful of our creator to cover the ground with beautiful plants and then filling the space above that with birds and butterflies and other pollinators.  It's a beautiful world.  

So there were walks through the rain drops to see what was happening.  Stella elected to stay in the garage.  But I did make a car trip out purchasing some things needed for radiation.  Baby shampoo, Dove soap for bathing and green tea.  Interesting combination of needs.  Dove soap has no METAL in it.  Did I know that?  Why is no metal soap important.  Metal will send the radiation rays in crazy places.  Dove has no metal.  Green Tea.  4 bags and a cup of hot water steeped for an hr. sprayed on radiation sites should lessen possible radiation burns.  Baby Shampoo...gentler to the site, one of which is my head!  I found a site on line suggested for radiation education and that was truly informative.  

This morning at 8:30 I'm going to learn some procedures to eliminate fluid accumulation that is happening in my neck.  More exercises I'm sure and I'm pretty good at them.  I've done a few.  It's a cloudy morning but the day promises sun.  Looking forward to time outside again filled with fun in the garden.  I'm looking forward to time with Stella.  What a supportive friend.  God is Good.  God is Here.

    Wow, I never knew soaps had metal in them. Good thing for Dove. Bill picked up Dove Soap today and was happy to know it doesn't have metal in it. We learn something every day. I am so glad there are things you can do to help with the radiation side effects. You sure are a trooper with an amazing outlook and attitude. So wonderful to see the beauty in God's creation and be so appreciative. Wish I could see your many perennials right now. Praying the procedures to eliminate the fluid accumulation go well for you and take care of that problem. God is with you and I know He is holding you in His arms of love! xo

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

Saturday.

 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
