The last day of the week.

 Today is Bread and Bowl morning at church.  I look forward to seeing our community folks again.  Their visits are not long but still enjoyable.  This mission work started at least 35 years ago by church ladies has evolved from a soup and sandwich ministry to now supported by Second Helpings providing a main dish casserole.  The church adds a vegetable and some sort of pastry and bread donated by Kroger grocery store.  The portions are huge and folks usually can take two dinners home with them.  Our days to serve are Tues. Thurs. and Sat.  Other churches in the area provide food to fill out the week.  Feed the hungry is our mission.  We ask no questions.

After a second trip to Lowe's, our dining room table now supports 4 beautiful huge white poinsettias that will eventually go to church for our Christmas Eve service as well as the two Sundays after that evening.  I started with two and now it's four.  Four will cover the space well.  We'll add lots of candles symbolizing that light that came with the birth of one who brought light to the world.  So it's icecube watering time making sure that what looks wonderful now will continue that trend till the transport to church. 

I'm sure there will be football this afternoon. Basketball has been added and then in between it all there is always all the other stuff that happens in the world.  This morning, prayers of comfort for those who have been devastated by the during the night weather to the south of us.  TV pictures tell the story.  

9:00 will be here soon.  That's the time I like to be at church ready for the morning's work.

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
