Tuesday.

 The work week has begun.  No more sitting around playing on the sewing machine.. It's up and att'em.  I slept till 7 this morning.  Woo.  I did most of the morning stuff and then off to Aldi's to help open the store.  After an hour I left for a quick trip to Kroger and then home.  That was a very long shopping morning.  The house is stuffed with food which took another hour to find a place on the shelf.  That hour also included cleaning out the refrigerator and finding old stuff that had to go.  Eric/family and Jared/family and Christmas will be here on Thurs, Fri, and Saturday.  Jared is known to clean out the refrigerator giving me an evil eye. I think I beat him to it. It was a very big morning.  

                                                                Chex Mix for all. 

                The afternoon was given to cooking for the end of the week.  I would rather play when the company is here instead of work.  So today it was work.  There is Chili, Sloppy Joes, Breakfast Roll, and two icecream type containers filled with Chex Mix.  Water and Dr. Pepper are in the refrigerator.  Tomorrow I'll hardboil eggs for egg salad and bake Jared's favorite.  NOT saying what that is but I heard. We won't starve.

                                                            A big bucket of chili.

The stockings need filling.  Santa is a little late here. Or I could just report that the good list is a little shy this year.  Now wouldn't that make everything just a bit easier by claiming they were naughty and NOT nice? It's been reported that there could be a joke or two from Santa. I get a little nervous about that.  A repay of last year's joke has been reported to be posted on Friday's agenda.   

                       Breakfast rolls are now safely in the freezer along with two large pizzas. 

I scrubbed the downstairs bathroom getting a jump on tomorrow's cleaning day. Got to be ready!  Years ago I heard that kids look around to see if their OLD parents can still take care of themselves.  I'm really trying to stay on top of things. and so far I think I have at least a B grade. On my best days, I never did earn an A.  

Supper was some chili with an evening ahead where my feet were up and I wrapped myself in my electric throw, asleep from time to time before it was time to go to bed. Another great day tomorrow getting ready for three days of fun.  All fun with a whole lot of card playing, I hope.

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

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
