Another gift of a beautiful morning.

 There is nothing  much better than sitting on the patio with a cup of coffee, watching the birds and feeling the coolness of the morning  with the sun coming through filtering trees.  The only other thing happening is eating breakfast which is not going so well.  But I managed an egg and a half with cottage cheese and half of a banana.  Woo..big breakfast.  I smelled the banana to trick my taste bud brain connection.  Strange how that works.  But at least there is something in my stomach at this point.  

Today is Bread and Bowl Saturday at church.  We'll be putting together 50 lunches for neighborhood fooks to take home with them.  Always a great time to work with  other church friends and visiting with church neighbors as they stop by.  I look forward to those times.  

Yesterdays shopping trip to the grocery included a lot of food purchased for camping time.  Got to get ready and still to buy...pancake mix and syrup.  How could I forget that.  The JB family always spends breakfast with us and it has  been such fun thinking back years ago when  the boys were little sitting at the table in the booster chair clip to the end of the table..  Now such big guys but still enjoyable times with Adam taking that same spot in a grown up lawn chair. My head and heart are in the U P of Michigan already.

Yesterday's dentist visit was a bit of a surprise.  It was a cleaning visit and  made with some mental difficulty one might say.  When sitting in the chair and teeth being cleaned the feeling of the mask came back loud and clear.  And it was not a good feeling perhaps because I wasn't prepared for the mental work I had done while masking.  With a few breaks I twisted my thinking in to vacation time...I could imagine the water of Lake Superior some times angry and some times not, Pebble Beach, breakfast, visiting with friends and more.  I made it through.  So...there is a bit of surprising fragility still with me.   I will keep that in mind.   

So today should be back to a more normal routine.  What a blessing.  And I will be aware of what might need a bit of mental work.  Peace and joy wishes are being sent to you all.  I am healing.

    Thanks for keeping the blog with all your joy and faith - and finding good ways to deal with the difficulties your recovery throws your way. Dealing with each one as it comes makes it less likely to bother you next time - you have a strategy! (Did you ever talk about strategies to deal with problems in school?)

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
