Wednesday

 Wednesday! 

 

This day always come every year but this year it came a little earlier than usual.  It's the day that the Michigan R's pack up for home and the Carmel R's stay a bit longer.  The arrival dates depend on the kids school and 4-H schedules.  It's always a bit of a shock to see the entertainment package including hot coffee makers are no longer hanging around.  They start their 10-hour drive leaving around 9 am. 

So the adjustment takes about 10 minutes and we continue on.  

This afternoon we decided to make another run to the Jam Pot.  Our first one was on  Monday and we discovered they were closed.  This time the line was to enter the store was very long.  It's a popular place for many folks to stop to buy baked things and jams supporting a small community of 3 monks currently.  Doug suggested we not wait but try another day.  

I think he loves to make the drive of at least 20 miles one way because of the curves and hills that just never seem to end.  The road follows the coastline and is one I enjoy any time no matter the why of the trip. 

Back at the campsite it was book reading time finding a spot in the sun to stay warm.  Supper around 7 and time for another card game, the second of the day.  The score is three for Doug and one for me.

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
