Visiting.

 Today was another great visit with Leslie and Dennis.  This time the JB Russell family was with us.  We arrived around 11:30...a little later than we expected although one could say it's vacation time. Leslie has her kitty on her lap.  One of two.  A downstairs and an upstairs cat.  The Russell boys are cat-friendly and Eli was entertained by watching the under-the-bed cat upstairs.  The never to come downstairs only by accident.

Lots of great talk on the deck and then a lunch with many, many things on the menu.  Woo...not use to that when


camping.  So we had a great lunch and more talk and then Jared B and Kimmy started on a project for Leslie.  She was gifted a loom and lots of yarns and the two Russells managed to figure out how to put the loom together relying on the fact that they needed to do the same with their own loom.  Leslie immediately got all of her weaving books out and I'm sure there will be great things to come.  

I'm adding some random pictures of a little of this and that.  

The water is that blue...a blue sky makes that happen.  There are forest fires in Canada and when the smoke is here the water is a much different color.  Today is Doug's birthday.  Lots of card giving this morning and birthday wishes from Eric and Anne with a birthday announcement on choir net.  So...Happy Birthday to my fellow camper of many years with the hope of many more to come.

    I just read this. When I came yesterday, it was not here. We are not only in different time zones, we are on vastly different horaria.

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....
