Friday

 A little more get up and go for today.  I did some sitting.  And then I ran the sweeper on two levels and the steps and Doug did his room.   PT is coming Monday to do an evaluation, so I need to be ready.  Something tells me that I won't need them but then again maybe I do. A cleaner house makes me feel better. It's just a little cleaner.  I need to do windows.

                                                        Such a pleasant place to eat a meal.

I dumped the flowers that were in the kitchen and snipped new Forsythia, Lenten Roses and Jonquils.  This is the view from the kitchen table.  This is such a great picture from Kimmy's window on a beautiful early winter morning. I can pretend I'm in her kitchen.  I wish I really was there. 

                                Blue Bells starting to show color.  I can get excited about this. 

After all this activity it was time to sit again until Doug brought the wash up from the lower level. Friday is washing day and now clothes folding time.  I didn't have much since the week here at home was short.  Doug follows in the footsteps of his dad who also did the washing.  

                                  More flower buds showing up. This time it's Bleeding Heart.

The clothes I had on at church were cut from my body.  That means my great yo-yo vest, good pants and everything else.  I need to buy another bra since I only had two.  Just something else to do real soon.  Maybe today. 

                                            My little patch of blood root is getting ready to bloom. 

I spent the afternoon recovering from the morning.  I had all the time in the world to do that. I did take a short walk outside with the camera.  I looked at Kimmy's pottery online.  I think there will be more added real soon.  The two handled mugs are totally gone.  


These are just a few of the pieces we have from their stash.  The vases the flowers are in are a few more. How fortunate we are.  Doug's two handled mug is never far from him so it's missing in the picture.  There's always a mug full of tea sometime during the day.  

Another meal of beef vegetable soup.  Yum, yum.  Life is easy.

Tonight, we'll have Purdue basketball.  Fingers crossed that all will turn out on the plus side.  It's getting exciting. They really have a great team and have a chance to go the whole way.

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
