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.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
