Another day of heat and I'm a wet rag!  Just go away is my mantra.  Next week can't get here quickly enough. This morning was another one of those 3 AM things.  That doesn't make anything better either.  I'm just happy I don't have a responsible job somewhere.  So what have I done today? Sleep.  Yes, today has been a bit of a foggy day in front of the fan with my eyes closed.    




I spent about 5 minutes in the garden this morning dumping a few containers of clippings that I collected a few days ago.   There were about 5 minutes of patio sitting until it got too hot.  


We're having a meal with the Mamlins tonight at Rick's Boatyard .  Joe and Sarah Ellen worked in Kenya for many years.  Joe's first nurse was Regina.  She developed serious heart issues that were repaired at Indiana University Hospital.  While Regina was recuperating she spent some of that time living with us.  Regina is back for a visit and we will be spending the dinner hour with her.  Kenya is never very far away as memories fill spaces in our lives.  

                                    A great meal with two of my Kenyan friends, Regina and Javan.    

Tomorrow promises to be more moderate in temperature.  I just won't be here soon enough for me. It's a soup kitchen morning.  Two of our workers are beginning a trip to Scottland meaning we will be short of workers.  So...I'll be in early to start the process.  Sarah Ellen will be there with Regina.  That's a very good thing.

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
