Friday.

 At first, I thought not much happened today but then when using some thinking time there were a few things to mention.  Wordel went well.  Connections went very well and the Star Crossword was a plus.  The Star delivery guy skipped us so Doug printed off a crossword copy.  Oops, I didn't quite get it finished like I thought I did.  5 across.  Louts?  What the heck is that!  


Then I decided to do a little Christmas shopping. Just a very little. One thing little!.  Since we celebrate at the end of next week I don't get real excited about the rush before Christmas.  This trip took me to Barnes and Noble for a book purchase.  I'll be back later for more gift cards.  That's a grandson gift that they know is coming and have received for years. They are all readers.  Grown up Jacob gets a Starbucks card.  Then it was on to Goodwill for a look at sheets for another Goodwill project that's coming.  I was looking for some interesting fabric to turn into nursing coverups for Goodwill mothers.  I found two sheets again at a bargain price. There is always a whole lot to choose from. I'm waiting for the pattern from Ginny who seems to have a little difficulty sending it online.  I'll see Ginny on Sunday at church.  I'm ready to sew coverups.



There is lots of fabric in two queen-size sheets each for 3.99

Arriving back home I decided to do some burp cutting.  There are 50 more burps ready for the sewing machine.  The plan a few weeks ago was to start sewing again in January.  It would seem the plan got kicked out of the ballpark.  

            I'll be delivering the third hundred to Ginny Sunday and the fourth hundred is not far away.

Once again the afternoon saw a visit to the Y.  I think the work toward a habit is becoming a habit.  I did another mile, faster today than yesterday.  Great music was part of the walk. I'm loving every minute of the hour.  The treadmill has a screen with video walking trails from many places.  Today I went to Costa Rica for that mile of walking.  Beethoven played in my ear. I call that a winning combination. 

Supper was another homemade turkey-vegetable pie. Delicious in every sense of the word.  In fact, there were two.  One down and one to go. 

Vegetables, potato, Thanksgiving turkey and a can of mushroom soup with a little milk added.  Dump in a few spices and a pie crust top with an egg wash.  Pop it in the oven for 45 minutes and it's done!  


Part of the stash so far.  Some family members never open the blog.  Some of the family does so I've got to be careful.  But some things stay the same year after year after year.  I probably could write year after at least 30 times or more.  They get it.  Repetition helps.

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

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 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
