Christmas Day Sunday.

 It's feeling like a very strange day.  No routine to follow  After last nights cold setting attending Sunday morning church was an option I just didn't want to make part of the day's routine.  I thought about  Second Presbyterian as the morning was progressing  Then I just decided not to move in that direction.  In fact not moving in any direction was the option I chose.  I did a little TV watching and then the day was taken over by sleep.  It seemed that the body was choosing that over any other choices available.  

The birds got the attention they needed.  Birds?  I would say Starlings.  They took over the feeding station with gusto. 

                                This starling is flapping his wings trying to stay steady on the suet.  


We had a long face time visit with the Michigan Russells after a whole lot of texting with the grandsons.  Pictures came with Eli's kitty wearing his best of all hats that were sent north last week. 


 We heard about gifting.  It's always interesting to discover what kids the ages of all the Russell boys declare they need for survival 

Time was spent with Green Bay and Miami football teams.  It was a good interesting but always-changing game with Green Bay coming out on top as should happen.  


                        Andrew's many Rubic's cubes, triangles and more shapes that I can identify.                                                              He added a few more this Christmas to his collection. 

Around 6 we were off to Eric and Kats and the kids for supper and another chance to see gift giving results.  An unexpected added bonus was to meet two of Kat and Eric's best buddy friends visiting from California, The evening developed with a great Christmas meal of ham and sweet potatoes among other things including two great deserts. We included a great card game of 3/13 accompanied with lots of laughter.

.Back home with time to wind down from the day enjoying a warm house a little more TV adding that warm blanket and then heading off to bed at 12 pm. 

'A wonderful quiet way to spend the day.  Sleeping, talking to the Michigan family and visiting in the evening with our Carmel kids.   It appears that our family get-together will happen the weekend of January 7th.  A whole lot of fun to look forward to.  By the 6th we should be out of the deep freeze for sure unless we're back in again.  Dear Winter is just a bit unpredictable.

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

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
