Tuesday

It's been a slow picture day.  Please excuse me!

            Frost is predicted for Thursday night.  Then they are all memories.  I'm hoping to get lucky.

 I should have known it was coming.  After two days of a whole lot of this and that, today was a bit slower.  Not slow, just slower.  It was an early wake up with a banana for breakfast over time.  I did some fabric cutting or should I say tearing.  

        It's crazy how this picture makes me happy.  You might or might not understand.  That's OK.

A little after 10 we were on the way to my yearly meeting with Dr. Moore.  And that went well.  It's one of those yearly things that goes after big surgery.  Today he suggested that I was in good hands and could move on without him if that was OK with me.  I really like this guy but agreed that taking up his time with me just wasn't what he or I needed.  I told him that his iPhone tel. number would not be deleted.  Dr. Moore is an ear, nose and throat and head and neck surgeon.  He did all the planning for the first surgery getting all in place that was needed to remove the tumor from my head.  So, we talked for a while.  He takes trips to eastern Kenya with other doctors operating on those who need him.  He's doing that again in a couple of days.  He stayed with my Mamlin friends at Eldoret a few years ago. It's a small world.

                I used up some odds and ends and stuck to the number 10. That really makes sense. 

It was back home again with plans for an easy day.  I did more sewing adding another 10 burps.  The machine is poking along and tomorrow it's going to the machine doctor at Select Sewing to get an evaluation and prognosis. I want good news. 

                Poor thing.  At least 20 years of sewing.  I'm wondering how many miles that might be.                                           I know it was spools and spools of thread and some broken needles.  

Outside was off limits for most of the day with only one short walk this morning.  There was off and on rain and the temperature was chilly.  I wore two long sleeved shirts all day.  Tomorrow the furnace man is coming to do his thing and then I'll have the on button turned on.  

Grandson Adam had his big knee surgery this morning for a torn ACL.  Last year a concussion kept him off the soccer field and this year it's the knee injury.  Both events happened during a game. That's a lot of trauma for a high school kiddo.  His concussion injury is still causing some problems.  A phone call got a great hello and of course grandma told him to follow directions.  

           Ready to go to surgery.  Arrived at 6 and was home around 12 and ready for recuperation. I hope!

I'm going to do a little more fabric marking and then it's the chair and TV again.  Slow days can be good days and this one was.

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
