Good stuff.

 It's 11:45  Monday morning and it's been nothing but good so far.  I have a trip to IU North under my belt already.  A visit to the lab resulted in a blood draw that included one stick with NO pain.  This shooter had a terrific aim and I thanked her.  The visit to the pharmacy resulted in a second Covid Booster shot.  The fact that I've had cancer and a 5 month period of time since my first booster were the qualifying factors. I visited the CPAP office and received my new and improved CPAP machine.  That was a long time coming. The wait is finally over.  I can say out with the old and in with the new.  So three good checkmarks and I'm the lucky lady.  Maybe I should say finished with I U North for the day.  In fact finished for 3 weeks.  Let me add that I like I U North a whole lot.  I have many new friends that work there. The positives outweigh the negatives by thousands.  Visiting reminds me of those months of compromise.  Those months carried a heavy weight.  I can Let It Go at some point. And if compromise comes again, I will find a way to be O K with it.  

Now a few pictures.  This is Noah at church yesterday.   He loves this hat.  Most would say, not in church.

 I'm just happy to see the 4 Russells in attendance and participating, feeling a part of.  The choir is seated at the front of the sanctuary and I can get the BEST pictures of this kiddo. He loves to make this contribution.

A couple of days ago I posted a picture of a woodpecker.  This is a better picture of the red-bellied woodpecker.  I think that the previous woodpecker was a downy.  I goofed.  

If there are flowers outside, there are flowers inside.  Here is a sprig of forsythia along with some dwarf jonquils and pussy willow twigs the deer didn't find.  The plates...Doug's family, my family and a flower holder from Copper Harbor Dennis.  

On with the day.  Still so chilly but it's still March.  I just get antsy!!!

Be still my soul.  Wait patiently.  Rest in the Lord.

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
