Nippy day in the Neighborhood.

 Choir practice ended last night with an icy walk to the car.  Brr.  Tim walked with me and I had to laugh because Tim's helping arm was too high.  He's a very tall kid. But there were no falls for anyone so that was good.  It was an icy trip home.  This morning's temperature of 15 brought Kevin and some helpers to the house just after 8 am.  The banging continues and the siding is coming off and new will go up.  Three tough workers are here.  It would appear they may finish today.  

It has got to look worse before it looks better.  The drumming of hammers goes on just outside this wall of thread.  Bill Douglas made this board to hold thread for Doris.  The daughters gave it to me and now we'll see if the pounding jump the thread off the wall.  I thought it was worth the gamble to just wait to see what happens.   Of course I didn't want to move all this thread unless needed..  
I'm a risk-taker on this one.  So far so good but the outside banging job is far from over.  Fingers crossed.  

Nothing much planned for the day.  This body is still recuperating from Monday's event but has a way to go to be happy.  New surprises.  The diet is pretty bland. That's an easy fix with the hope it works.

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

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
