Tuesday

 Today as always, I'm thankful and grateful for another day of living the life that I have, remembering those who do not have what I have.  That is food for the day, a warm place to be, and friends who want to make life better for me.  I am grateful.  

  Which flower picture to choose for the blog?  It's a wonderful dilemma to have. They all say pick me!

So the day started again with all the usual.  But I do want to mention that warm huge cup of coffee.  It's a great marker that tells me life is good.  

The morning included more sewing. Lots of it.  Sometimes I think about my sewing machine as the little engine that could.  Then the Chattanooga Choo Choo comes to mind as I round the ends of the burps. 

                     This is the spot to round the bend.  There have been a lot of bends to navigate.

If we take the western route to Georgia through Nashville, when entering Chattanooga, we follow choo choo train tracks around a lot of hills and along the Tennessee River.  It would seem that music just fits with the sound of the sewing machine engine moving the needle up and down like a choo, choo.  I'm edging up to another 100 burps.  Give me another day or two and I'll be there.  Entering Chattanooga from the west via Nashville is a nightmare experience.  It's a piece of Mom's apple pie entering from the east through Knoxville.  It took us many trips to Georgia to figure that out.  We're slow learners. 


Three stacks of ten waiting and then there is another bag of 100 to fill.

Finally, after more than enough rescheduling's of an appointment, I saw my primary doctor this afternoon.  We reviewed a whole lot of things, identified a few things that need correcting but are not of a serious nature but serious enough for some attention.  There will be another follow up appointment in two weeks. We're staying on what needs to be stayed on making a few more phone calls tomorrow. Taking care of this body is two full time jobs.  Maybe three.

Another soup from the freezer for supper and then a trip to Broad ripple to move Eric on home.  The flu has gotten everyone at that household except Eric.  What a bummer with elevated temps and the need for sleep.  Let's hope Eric escapes.

    Yes, Chattanooga from Nashville is tricky and unnerving but nothing like going south on 75 in Atlanta and trying to negotiate getting onto 20 West when all kinds of other highways are mergins and leaving and cars are flipping in and out and signs are confusing or too late to do any good . . . I think you usually take 285 (the perimeter) which is wise - although it can be congested at rush hour (as you know).

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...

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 s...

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....
