Sunday.

 An all day at home day. I think there will be a few more.  


And the day proved to be a fun one with the sewing machine of course.  My two-sheet purchase yesterday has kept me busy.  And there will be a little left to do for tomorrow.  The day included sewing cover-ups for nursing mothers.  They are so easy to do.  Being able to tear the fabric instead of cutting makes it even simple.  It's all straight-line stuff.  

I added to yesterday's number and the total is 17 cover-ups for nursing mothers with 4 more ready for the sewing machine tomorrow.  My headache tells me it's time to stop for the day.  Way too much stress for the eyes.  Dah!

We went to church online.  Better to be in the space.  One can multi-task while online which is not such a good thing.  Better to be in the space. 

It's been football Sunday in America.  The Colts won and the Bengals are trying to lose.  Let's hope that changes.  

I've been texting all day.  The Michigan Kids are staying well and nothing has changed so far in that house.  Kat feels lousy and her Covid test has been inconclusive.  I'm wondering if Eric has a false positive.  They could have the flu.  Time will tell us more, I'm sure. 

The house is quiet.  No dog to entertain us.  No card game going on. That's a sure sign that things have changed.  And here is another sure sign of a change.

Mr. Potter came through again.  My tumbler is on the left and Dout's is on the right.  The coffee near my tumbler is Hazelnut, my favorite, and the blue bag is described as bold.  Could be Doug's favorite.  Both coffees were gifts to the coffee maker person of this house. We each got two tumblers.  

So long to 2023 tonight.  Bring it on 2024.  I'm ready for spring.  I need to find where I can buy a Christmas rose for next winter.  I can't wait for Lenten roses.  But I guess I have no other choice but to wait.

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...

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 s...

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....
