Early is on time.

 I'm early but the on time business... I'm not sure of the time.  I do know that I'm in the soup mode of cooking.  A bit of chicken veg. left over from last week and Monday mornings offering is split pea with onions, celery, carrots and ham perking on the stove.


  Thanks to that stick blender gift of a few Christmas's ago, split pea is easy.  And there is beef stew in the slow cooker.  I'm hoping that's a winner but not sure at this point.  I'm such a big chicken eater.  


This pot has a long way to go yet.  So good to have some options for supper ready to go.  Lots of cooking this morning.  Not much during the week.  This morning is my meeting with Dr. Raju, my heart ticker doctor.  I'm expecting no new information, just a nice visit. 

Wed. starts the colonoscopy procedure with low fiber foods. That's really an early start for next Monday's procedure.  Every doctor I've ever had has different get-ready instructions.  .  I just need to stick with what the paper tells me to do.  

The birds have been fed, the water has been thawed, the patio has NO ice,  the soup has been made and all is ready for the day.  Woo, Hoo!.

    So - will you nap? clean another closet? watch birds? sew? make another pot of soup for next week?

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....
