Thursday.


 Another early morning success with all that usually starts the day.  I moved on to the kitchen with another soup-making morning.  This time Chicken Vegetable morning.  I bought chicken thighs at the store thinking they were breasts.  What a goof.  Easy to do I guess if one doesn't look at the label,  They went into the pot along with a whole lot of other things. I have a feeling the goof may turn out to be a good thing.  The taste could be an improvement. I added turkey drippings to the pot from Thanksgiving.  Woo...super tasting soup I would add. 


I needed to make a trip to church to check on the poinsettias water needs.  And they needed water.  I'm really surprised that after two weeks in the sanctuary, they looked as if they had just arrived.  No need to replace them.  Will they last another week?  I hope so.  I visited with the Thursday crew of food preparers and then left to stop at Lowes to see what white poinsettias were available for Christmas Eve.  The store was really hot.  Not a good place for plants.  So I moved on to the Lowes at Carmel.  The choices were better and two plants came home with me to be cared for until Christmas Eve. 



In the afternoon I called my neighbor Diane and made arrangements to leave some soup for her.  I bundled up the pea, chili and chicken veg. with some crackers and walked them over.  Diane is staying away from people with the hope that her recovery will be free from bad germs.  I left the collection on a small table at the end of the sidewalk.  I sent a text and picture with the hope the food would be retrieved before any outdoor creature could find it. 


    Diane's table with a paper explaining to anyone there with a package why a change in delivery practices was needed.  It had something to do with Stella, the dog.  

I walked the garden enjoying the sun.  I saw again that NOTHING has changed since yesterday's walk. I watched a little TV but also slept through a little TV.  I must admit that the word little might have been the wrong word.  Supper included Chicken Veg. soup followed by a game of 3:13.  

Eric is feeling better after spending another day at home.  He has a picture of the culprit that has been a problem for him.  

That little black speck after the three is the problem maker.  Looks pretty big to me when one just felt the pain it caused traveling through a very small tube.

Monday

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...
