Friday all day!

 Checked the time and decided to get up only to find out after being up for 30 minutes that I was an hour earlier than thought.  Big bummer.  I just stayed up.  Instead of 5:30 it was 4:30 when I opened my peepers.  I made some changes to some of the hands on the clock.  The alarm and second hand just mess me up. I'll blame it on the fact that it's hard to open my eyes that early. 

          Father Cassion, otherwise known as Uncle Dee could be the shortest guy in the picture.                  Got to love all those pine needles. 

                            It was predicted by the mother of the boys that Eli would be the tallest.  

The sewing machine took care of some of the early morning minutes by completing the top stitching on the sit-up-ons.  Such fun.  I stitched 5 squares with different threads on each of the mats. .  The hope is that the mats stay together forever.  So 14 are finished and I can check that job off as completed. I'll haul them into church Sunday.   



        Later in the morning, I moved on to another batch of chocolate chip cookies for all the Russells.

                                                    This batch made with butter.  Yum, Yum.


Things are accumulating for the Georgia trip on the dining room table.  I have a list and will check things off.  Every year the trip takes about the same thing.  No different this year.  

                        Mashed potatoes, and apple pie support. Red beets and pickled red beet eggs!  

I made a short trip to the grocery to get some things on Doug's list.  Soap being a big one. Got to stay clean.  After the Carmel grandsons got home from school cookies were delivered.  It's been a good day.  


                                            There really are cookies under that foil.                                                  



Kimmy sent me this picture of a Christmas Cactus blooming at Adam's school.  I think there are some cacti that bloom at Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter.

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
