August 26 Saturday

 Another busy morning with the usual and then around 8:15 I was off to church to work at Bread and Bowl.  Heidi and James were off to Scottland this morning leaving a bit of a hole in our crew.  It was filled adequately by my Kenya friend Regina who is visiting with Sarah Ellen and a few other friends.  

        
                         This is an old Grossbeak picture from last year.  Just a memory but a good one. 


We managed quite well during the morning once again serving about 90 meals during the morning hour. We are serving about 1000 meals a month on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and two Saturdays.  It was busy and that's a great sign knowing that the community is quite comfortable during their visit with us.  

                Of course, you will think of spring when you see these.  Yes, another memory picture. 

The afternoon was very quiet with icing a knee that was a bit sore from another fall during the morning.  I am convinced that the shoes are the problem.  And for most of the morning, the shoes were NOT on my feet and all was well.  These tennis shoe soles are a bit thicker than others that I wear.  Very soon I'll be shopping for new shoes.  


                                                Another  Superior picture that never ages

Tomorrow is church day and also our annual missions festival.  I'll be at a table answering questions about the feeding ministry that has been in existence for more than 30 years.  My working time is right after the first service.  

                And I'll add a flower picture. This year's flowers are not as robust as other years.                                                                  There will be more next year. 

Life continues to be busy with many interests.

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
