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.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
