Left over Monday.

 Yes...these are the leftovers from our GREAT SUNDAY SNOW. There could be more this week! Bring it on.  

                                                         (He)        It is coming soon. Another song!                                    

Once again did the Wordle and crossword.  Drank the coffee and ate the oatmeal this time adding walnuts and raisins.  Yum, yum.  The birds needed some sunflower seed after washing one of the feeders.  It was nasty.  Hot water thawed the bird bath.  There are very few birds around and the squirrel hasn't been seen for a couple of days.  


I thought it was time for a good pot of beef stew so that all got put together.  It smells so good and even looks and tastes better. 



Back to sewing with the last squares nearing the finish line.  Then it's decision time for what goes on the inside.  Sorry to say I didn't make it to the line.  Just a little too much happening and I ran out of time.  I need fabric for the borders for three tops.  I hope that happens tomorrow.  

                            Four tops to go.  Three are finished.  It's just a little of this and that.

In the afternoon it was another trip of which there have been many to the airport for our friends Joe and Sarah Ellen.  For them, it's another trip to Kenya. Joe hopes to move closer to making possible a health insurance program that will work for the Kenyans.. For Sarah Ellen, it's another check with the Child Life staff.  It's a program used here in the states for children who are hospitalized.  It's new to Africa with very few programs of this kind anywhere on that continent.  C L gives the child a say in treatment making them a pardoner rather than an object. Another trip for both of them to touch base with folks who have answers to their questions..



. Joe and Sarah Ellen are at the airport with 4 suitcases weighing 50 pounds each leaving their coats with us and for them on to a climate where winter coats are not essential. This time their visit is 6 weeks. The van has moved them on their way to Kenya many times with suitcases galore. I just needed pictures this time. It's always an adventure. 


                                                            Trees in bloom.  Could be spring.

A couple of days ago I got these pictures from Nancy Baxter, my Cleveland friend.  I was in shock with trees in bloom and pansies at their best.  The truth was that she was in North Carolina visiting her son and the message was that change was coming but just not here yet.

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...

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 s...

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....
