Unuaual Tuesday.

 

Holly Hocks.  A memory of our summer camping in the UP of Michigan.  Cool breezes in a gentle sun. 

The day started slow and I just kept it that way for a while.  I did all the crossword puzzles I missed while in Georgia.  Some were easy some not so easy but eventually, they were all completed.


There was talk yesterday about Jared getting the Honda we traded in.  It was maybe, then no and eventually it turned to a yes that we heard this morning.  So Jared and Kimmy are doing a quick trip arriving here around 11 tonight.  Honda opens at 9 am. All the paperwork is completed. Our salesman Mr. Walker has gone beyond the call of duty.  

I made a trip to Aldi's for some Granny Smiths and will deliver a pie to Tom marking our gratitude for messing more with our family than he needed to.  Kimmy said a long time ago that their next car would be a Honda.  It will be our trade in!  They gain a car driven for three years by two old folks who took great care of their car. When leaving Aldi's I had a good laugh about the ability to spot the only red Oddessy in the parking lot!  Red!  


               Now isn't that RED!!!!! I love it.  I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only one around. When  asking for RED we always got Maroon!.  We waited for this one.  They made it to order!  RED!

We delivered the Dutch Apple Pie mid-afternoon happy to see Tom Walker again who took care of us so ably.  I did a little cleaning, washed the kitchen floor, and washed the sheets in the hide-a-bed all ready for the visitors.  I just can't say enough good words for this Penske place of business.  About a year ago there was an issue with an incompetent service kid who certainly had no skills in dealing with people.  He had the wrong job. The sign said to say something and I shared my frustration.  I was pleasantly surprised by the care that resulted from my report.  The returned gift was a vase full of garden flowers for the effort. This place takes care of its customers. 

        The first to be seen in a couple of months.  I looked today to see if there was evidence of them      appearing.  Not yet.  They need a little more resting but I'm sure they are thinking about April.  


Afternoon TV with soccer news of interest. USA WON!   Leftover Chili for supper and a quiet evening waiting for the kids.  

                                                                They have arrived.

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
