In my heart.

 In my heart there rings a melody.  Yes...many songs of thanksgiving.  Another mile marker in my journey called life here on earth.  Yesterday afternoon continued with a great visit with Kathy.  She traveled this radiation road a few years ago.  After my first visit in the radiation world with Kathy we closed the radiation experience with a Dairy Queen drive through visit and then a wonderful time together in the shade of some very old trees in the Carmel Cemetery talking and talking about just everything.  Those who know us well will not be surprised about our location.  

We birthday celebrated with Eric and his family at OUT BACK restaurant.  Me sitting in between my two great wonderful grandsons..  It was our first visit to a restaurant since the Covid experience started.  The grandsons received their second shot a few days ago and will be safe in a few more days.  The food smelled wonderful and my small cup of fruit was the choice along with a protein drink.  Doug's half of a hamburger proved to be a challenge he did not enjoy.  Tues a call will be made to the surgeon with some decisions being made after a visit.  

Susan...Her surgery proved to be a 7 hr. instead of a 9 hr. with good margins determined about cancer removal.  Susan is a talker.  Her challenge will be to keep her mouth quiet using a white board for communicating.    She will make it a good challenge, I am sure.

Today...a trip to church to deliver once again the Pentecost plants.  They sure like water and will be tended with care during the week here.  The tropical plant's leaves are receiving lots of sun which leads to the leaves developing  lots of red color.  I've been working in the garden this morning digging out all the remaining zinnias that are very deformed and not growing.  I planted a few seeds which should be soon on their way because of heat and predicted rain this week.  Gardeners...always full of hope.  

Speaking of HOPE.  Yesterday one of the reminder gifts from my angel nurses included a wrist bracelet with the words RADIATE HOPE.  I will wear it with honor and hope.  

Oh...another hymn...My hope is build on nothing less than Jesus blood and rightousness.  On Christ the solid rock I stand.  A song to open and a song to close.  God is HERE!

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

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....
