Friday

 Easy start to the day with all the usual routine.  Kimmy was working on painting a shirt again, this time for Eli.  It's a mind-craft character.  


Around ten Jared, Doug and I headed for Dow Gardens.  Kimmy had an Adam project.  Wow.  It's a beautiful huge park with lots to look at.  First are the big bugs.  Most are at least 8 ft tall.  I think we found at least 6 while on the walk.




We spent time in the children's garden. The plants were at their best and if they weren't they were gone and the ground was being prepared for new plantings. 


                This big pig was in the children's garden.  A few other animals were hanging around.                      Beautiful plants were everywhere. 



             We walked to an area where there at least a 1/2 mile of elevated walkways that allowed a trip through the tree canopy among white pines, oak, and maple trees.  We had a birdseye view of a planned apple orchard in its beginning stages, a wonderful children's play area, and more.  A real treat to be among the birds which were flying under the walkways.  

On the way home with Doug in the car, we stopped at Dahlia Hill giving him a chance to see a beautiful sight.

It was another morning of a new experience that contained a LOT of walking.  Back home we had lunch and then an afternoon of a whole LOT of sleeping on and off.  Woo.  Two very different activities for this day.  I would say maybe we were bushed!

But more to do.  The Meridian H. S. Football game was on the calendar.  Jacob played at half time and it was such a fun experience reminding me of far to many years in the past with football in our town about 10 miles east of Canton, Ohio housing the football hall of fame these days!  Meridian, the school of choice won the game.  Fun, fun, fun!!!

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
