More gone, more to come.

 Days that is.  More to come and that's a good feeling.  Yesterday was a quiet day at home until I remembered that it was the last day for my Kohls's discount card day.  So...to Kohls, I went for some Christmas gift shopping.  It's the usual gift if the family is reading.  And the choice was unbelievable low.  Guess the ships are still circling in the Pacific Ocean.  It was slim to almost nothing. But the stash of stuff is a little bit bigger at this point.  The  unforeseen finds its way into my life at this point in time.   

Today I will meet our new Primary Care Doctor, Dr. Jolli.  I'm excited...another dr. in my life of which there have been far to many but will be happy to admit that a few have been put on the shelf with the hope that's where they will stay.  Dr. Jolli will not be one of those.  Primary Care Doctors are important and I'm happy to welcome her in my stash of Doctors.  Dr. Wyatt Horsely moved back home to Utah.  I always thought his name should have taken him to Wyoming!  

This evening is another choir practice with the gift of singing songs for Advent and Christmas.  I'm loving that.  Such a gift for the heart. 

Georgia memories are still with me and I'm including some beautiful and crazy pictures taken last week.  

Isn't this just beautiful?  Huge holly bushes!  The magnolia trees with beautiful shiny leaves can be included in this beautiful category.  Makes me want to bring them home and decorate the church.  But they do dry out much too quickly inside.  

Now the crazy picture!


This is a picture of grandson Jacob giving his dad, Jared a ride on his back.  Crazy kids, both of them.  Better this combination than Jared giving Jacob a ride.  The dad in the picture has back problems that would not be happy with an extra load.  So turn about is fair play.  Time for Jared to ride.


Pictured above is the Michigan Russell family.  First is Eli 11, Jared under 50, Kimmy likewise, Jacob 16 and tallest of all Adam 14 just a hair under 6 feet.  The prediction is that Eli will outgrow all of them.  Now you can see that it's better Jared rides than any of these taller boys.  One of the three lakes at the monastery is behind them. 

My life rolls on, in endless song.  How can I keep from singing?  Great words from another choir anthem lodged in my memory bank.  Life is good.  Those words are a blessing not measurable.

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

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 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
