Saturday.

 

So pretty. This one is from Daliah Hill in Midland.  I hope to see that spot again. 

The end of the week when I learned a lot of heavy stuff.  Some weeks are like that.  This one was a duzzzzzy with information.  We'll see what the treatment starting Wed. brings.  I hope we'll know in a month or so where we are with this crazy disease.  Meanwhile...I'll keep sewing.

Today was busy and not so busy.  But I would say a very good day.  Wasn't that Franks song?  It was a quiet sort of rainy morning.  It looked like there was a party on the patio during the night so that got a little fixin' touches.  We've had two Have a Heart traps set and this morning both were full.  Some other stuff was knocked over so I would think maybe a raccoon or opossum or something like that happened by.  

                                                        Another Daliah Hill knock out.

Doug ate breakfast and then we were off to the woods to dump the chipmunks.  And sad to say there was an injured deer in the woods waiting for death.  So strange to see that.  Later in the afternoon Doug took another chipmunk on the same old trip and the deer had expired.  So, deer get hit here as well.  

I sewed the last twenty burps and Ginny has now another 100 burps for her nurses to use when teaching mothers what to expect with their newborns. And Ginny agrees there have been a grand total of one thousand burps distributed through the Goodwill Well Baby program.


                                                    Another 100 ready for the babies. 

Last night's night was a little short so I did some catching up during the day. I watched the I U and Purdue football games.  They were playing easy teams to beat.  And they were beating them easily.

Doug took me on a flannel shopping trip and we hit the jackpot.  I have 6 good flannel sheets that will take me far when I'm at it again. It takes me right out of the doldrums ditch on to a better thinking place.  But a few days off the machine will be welcomed.  Just a few!

                                Twenty five dollars worth of flannel.  A bargain any day of the week.  


And last and certainly the most important...the pill containers got loaded once again. I've got to stay on the straight and narrow way.

    You have expressed gratitude for our prayers - now I will ask your prayer warriors who read your blog to attend to the mother of our Br. Philip - Carolyn Wodzinski, who is my age and lives in Pittsburgh, and who will be having surgery this week to remove a brain lesion which has been causing vertigo and nausea. I am not sure of the day - so all days need to be covered.

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
