 Thursday

This will be a short entry tonight.  So here is the story.  A couple of weeks ago the gas door on the car would not open.  It one doesn't feed the car gas it doesn't go as you all know.  Doug took the car to the Honda shop, and they opened it but it needed to have a part ordered to fix it.  So today Doug took the car back and it was fix.  That was Doug's gig in the morning. His story gets longer in a minute.

As some of you know, I finished the second scarf last night with the thought in mind to finish the third one today.  Well, that didn't happen.  I did start one and knitted all morning with just about half of it finished doing that while Doug was gone.  The afternoon had its own story to write.

 Doug came home at noon and had the news that he had been talking to Tom who has helped us with our car leases over the years.  And there was a deal in the works if I was interested.  Well, I wasn't but Doug kept talking.  So I went with him to see what he was talking about.  And you guessed it.  We ended up with a Red CR=V Honda.  


It would seem that the days of having an Odessey might be past. Doug thinks our days of camping are over.  That was the main reason to have such a big car.  But I think we could pack this new one full although it isn't quite as big and continue on with some summer fun.  But we'll see.  Camping takes a lot of energy and after this afternoon the energy bucket is empty. There were two trips home to get the right papers.  Eric needed a pick-up and then our clean out the old car attempt resulted in something left in the car like a credit gas car so another trip back to Honda.  There was just a whole lot of back and forth. Although it's not very far like a couple of miles to Honda, it still took energy to fly those miles.   We finished eating supper at 8:15.  

So now you know why this is a short blog entry.  Stuff happened.  And tonight, once again I say I'm staying home tomorrow.  This time for sure.  At least that is my hope. So, at this house be prepared for surprises.

    We have at least THREE CRVs and we love them. But no red. When Br. Cal and our business manage went out to get a new one recently I pushed for a bright yellow one. They came back with executive gray (or some name like that). Boring. The red is jazzy.

    Does it have a heated steering wheel? That's what I'd be looking for in this weather. . .

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....
