Ready?


 The answer is that we're working on READY.  The ready refers to camping.  It's a two-week plus a day away from it all, almost.  We have access to a grocery store but the plan is to be quiet for those days avoiding what can be avoided.  So food is packed and ready for the Oddesey moving van.  

Last night for supper the wonderful little cabbage was chopped and buttered and a little water added and then microwaved.  I can add that to the slowly growing list of food that is not objectionable.  Onions were harvested and braided and hung to dry.  I hope that works.  
Yesterday's visit with the radiation oncologist was a good one with the next appointment being six months away.  I stopped at Rosie's again to celebrate with friends and bought myself a birthday gift.  That should be no surprise.  It's a tropical milkweed plant with interesting flowers.  Last summer monarchs found this plant at Rosie's and laid many, many eggs.  So many little babies that the plants were chewed to bits.  So happy Birthday to me. This time the excuse for a plant is a good one I hope.  

The plan for the day is to see my dear sweet PT lady Denise.  I suspect that might be the last session.  Then an 11 o'clock lunch with my good old...yes we are all getting older teacher friends.  Then perhaps a treat at Dairy Queen...maybe a Blizzard.  

All is well, all is well.  As the Morman's sing.  For so many things...Yes, all is well.  There's a song in the air that I'm hearing and singing.  Cancer tumor discovery day in Nov. 2020 seems years ago.  I would suspect that the business of 2021 has been an influence.

    That picture is a great example of ORGANIZATION! (and probably the fruit of years of camping).

    My favorite memory of your birthday is still the year a group of us went to the Children’s Museum - to the top floor - and played our way down to the 1st floor and the IMAX movie of Alaska! We all had SO much fun celebrating YOU!!!!

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another good start to the day with my yummy yogurt, almonds, blueberries and coffee and the TV.  But not for long.  It was back to the beloved sweat shop with burps.  That's the go to when the need to do something else comes along.  It was the last 10 of the next 100.  They will be in my closet until nearer Christmas.  Some of the burps are Christmas themed.  There was additional ripping, then folding and finally ironing where need.  The pipeline is filled again with additional work ready willing and able to become more burps. Starting on another 100 leads to the next 100 a total equaling 2500 burps.   I worked on a sign to advertise the No Kings event of the day.  Joining a big group even though it is outside is not going to happen.  But I had an idea up my sleeve. It's that germ thing and the energy thing that will keep me close to home.   Then another late morning in the garden after the warmup.  I notic...
