 A new journey.  Packing my bags is the worst.  At this point I don't exactly know what I need. 

                                    An old Easter Sunday picture of a few years ago.  They never get old. 

Today's trip took us once again to Methodist.  10:25 was the witching time.  And we made the appointed time of 11:30 at the correct door.  And I was well taken care of.  More explanations were made answering all the questions I could muster.  Methodist has been so good to me.  The procedure started a bit late and we left the hospital at 4.  Enough tissue was harvested for Genomics testing as well as enough tissue for the Methodist I U hospital lab.  So from 3 to 5 working days should bring some answers.  

                                               A Michigan Lighthouse memory.  

I escaped staying overnight although I certainly had a problem with a leg that just didn't work.  I expect complete recovered about 12 hours from now. I think a nerve was affected by the stuff that was used to hide all the pain associated with the procedure.  Stella was a necessity for a while.  There were more scans with everything  happening as I spent time lying on my stomach as the doctors went in for the kill or should I say tissue.  What that tissue is will determine treatment.

                            I thought I'd mix it up with a snow picture.  Now that's a jolt!

Hoke brought me home and Patty brought supper with Decker Melons and chicken salad.  I was one hungry camper for sure having a 24 hour fast.  Doug fixed my plate.

Does anyone recognize these ankle biters?  The one beside me is a soph. in college.  The youngest one is a soph. in high school.  My, are they all cute.

After a leg recovery I took a turn around the yard with Stella's help. She's a good girl friend that is with me once again. 

I had to add some day lilies of a few years ago.  They didn't do so well still recovering from a divide and conquer experience.  Next year will be better. 

Tonight most of the flowers are from months and years ago, still stunning with something good to add to words.  

J                                    Just one of many reasons camping means so much to us.  

So that's the short story for today.  Thanks for thinking about me on this new journey. Or should I say this repeat journey with a new destination somewhere.  Who knows.  Certainly not me.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
