Saturday

 Up as usual at 6 with breakfast and then an early run to Bread and Bowl.  The second and fourth Saturdays are the two weekends that North's Saturday crew fills the kitchen with good smells.  Today Second Helpings sent us mashed potatoes, pork barbeque, and green beans.  It certainly smelled yummy and the report from the guests said it was delicious.  We served about 45 people and sent home about the same amount of carry-out lunches.  The food was gone by 11:30.  The neighborhood folks know that early arrival usually assures them of a dinner.  We turned no one away. There were five of us working and sharing the load made it all possible.  

                            Memories of a few years ago.  I sure to miss these beautiful gifts. 

Heidi and I made a tour of the sanctuary and Gathering Center making sure the Poinsettias were as good as they could be for tomorrow.  We have felt like church sitters this month making sure that all is well, all is well. 

                                                    So happy to have pictures.  

Back home on the ranch for lunch and then it was more work with the fifty burps.  They are all marked, and ready for the sewing machine at some point next week or the next or the next.  There is no hurry so when the time is available I'll be sewing.  I'm beginning to be aware that there probably be other stuff happening this coming week.  

That's the line the sewing machine follows at the end of each of the burps.  Can't do it without the line.

I watched a bit of the Butler game with Butler losing in overtime.  Such a bummer but the extra bit of energy just wasn't in great supply.  

I made the trip to the Y with another 45 minutes of doing stuff.  It was empty of folks.  I imagine that will continue until sometime Monday afternoon. This afternoon it was Strauss in my ear and British Columbia on the screen. Doug took the afternoon off.  He said he had sore muscles.  Well, if one doesn't start easy there are sure to be sore muscles.  Dah!  There, I've said it.  

                                The screen picture. There's even a fan to cool one off while walking.  

                                                                            Beautiful.

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

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

 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
