Tuesday.

 Happy to report a better night of sleep.  I'm not feeling like a zombie on this Tuesday.  Another great surprise with wordle with a wild pick of something I didn't know was a word.  But it was!  Go figure! The third try made it happen.  Crossword was successful.  A great start to the day. 

                        Back with us again always soon after the mealworms appear for breakfast.                                                 Mr. almost always takes a bit to Mrs.  But she takes care of herself as well. 

I added more wool fabric, braided and laced.  It's a slow process to make this rug grow. Just like some plants and people.  

                                    It's 14 inches wide and 3 feet long.  It needs to be bigger!

Mid-morning I was off to the yearly eye doctor visit.  I always enjoy talking with Dr. Meyer but today I learned that I needed driving glasses.  Can't see far away like I once could I guess.  I thought long and hard about filling the prescription.  It's more maintenance on the body.  I told him it was worse than maintaining a car.  He disagreed.  Glasses are ordered!  

                            Parsley looking perky and ready to be added to the pot pie tonight. 

I had a long conversation with Heidi about church worship plans for the coming month.  She is up to date on everything. Success feels like all the ducks are lining up.  It's happening again. Heidi is the leader of the Worship and Arts team and helps with visuals as well.  Lynda M. is going to put a  "money plea" for visual arts needs in North Notes next week. It's our only ask for funds all year event. Palm Sunday palm costs are around 60.00.  I haven't a clue about Easter at this point. It usually is around 100.00

I stopped at Needlers on the way home from Noblesville to buy a pot pie that Kat makes to sell. That made a very yummy supper.  Thanks Kat.

                                Getting anxious to try something new.  It's a repeat at some point. 

The afternoon saw more braiding and a couple of inches added to the rug.  Slow and steady at a turtle's pace.  And the plants I "took care of"  went back to their owner Sarah Ellen.  We had a great visit hearing more about the programs in Eldoret so beautifully nurtured into life by Joe and Sarah Ellen.  Sarah Ellen's Child Life program much like the one at the Riley Hospital is a champion for hospitalized children. Very few exist in the whole of Africa.  I stopped on the way home at Goodwill finding the perfect tractor for a buck that will be sent on its way soon to soothe a troubled hospitalized child.  More to come.  The beat goes on. 

                                    I've got to keep shopping.  Bargains aplenty at Goodwill.

Monday

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...
