A whole lot going on!

 The day started with the usual.  I'm in a rut with nothing to push me out of it.  But it feels good like a favorite slipper.  So...I'll use my energy somewhere else.  After the usual morning routine, I started to fill the water bottles with flowers.  What fun and I just picked and choose with beautiful flowers added to the bottles of water which will fill tables this afternoon at neighbor Bill and Kathy's shindig!.  



                                          What returned to my mind was thematic teaching.                                                                                                              My favorite way to teach.  
Such a pretty clean white color for this Hosta.  The purple Hosta flowers don't have a chance with me. 

Then it was off to church to work at Bread and Bowl, a bit late but knowing that all the workers would be able to move right ahead without me.  And they did.  The place was a buzz with busy people.  We created 40 carry-out meals and also serve people who wanted to eat in the community room.  It was a busy morning but we had plenty of workers that made the morning enjoyable.  

Then back home for the afternoon.  I got my always-after Bread and Bowl nap in, and watched a little TV.  Took a meal to the Carmel Russells.  After their trip to Chicago last weekend they ALL developed Covid.  Eric and Andrew not so bad but still test positive.  Kat and Noah are running elevated temps and sleeping a lot.  

Putting together parts that will eventually be used to set up purification systems where needed. 

In the late afternoon we made our way to the Fountains of Hope celebration. The celebration numbered over 60 people.  Bill gave a report on the years work and then interested folks went to the garage where stations were set up allowing the assembling of parts to enable the making of safe drinking water.  Bill will take two 50 pound suitcases filled with these parts to places asking for the system.  Large tanks and other items are purchased within the country.  

 

                                                                Another workstation.


              This mother is one of the board members.  Pork Barbeque, Yum.  I always like a pitch-in.

There was a whole lot going on and a day that made a difference for many folks in many places.

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

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 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
