Wednesday

 Another beautiful day.  Last night was a bit interesting with a big hole from 1 to 4. I discovered that my knitting had one stitch to many so I used the night to do some ripping and then some knitting.  So time wasn't wasted.  Then it was back to bed and I slept till 8:30. Woo, woo.  Nothing lost.  


                                                     On the second try I got it right.  

I have an eye appointment next Wednesday and I wanted my current medicine list to take with me.  I tried to get it from the portal but wasn't successful.  So, it was a car trip to I U North and the office printed a list.  Another benefit having the hospital decide to build close to us.  I want to be ready for Dr. Meyers.  Some days my eyes are a little crazy. 

Since I slept so long the morning was short and it was lunch time.  


                                There were lots of bowls filled with a whole lot of vegetables. 

The main piece of work was making soup for tonight's Lenten study group at church.  I should have done this yesterday but ran out of minutes.  So, chop, chop, chop and the pot is full of potatoes, cabbage, carrots, celery, onions, chicken. cauliflower. and delicious chicken broth.  It needs to finish up soon.  Doug and I will be out of here and on our way not later than 4 or maybe sooner to set the place for supper.  Heidi is making two kinds of soup,.  Joan is bringing the salad.  I have the crackers and store bought cookies.  Nothing fancy.  Just a good meal. 

                A lot of vegetables with practically no soup.  It was really good. I forgot the barley.

After the crock pot was cooking, I grabbed the new little shovel and met up with creeping Charlie who decided that living in the moisture filled fronts of the flower beds was a good thing.  I put  Charlie on the run. Well, maybe.  There are other places but there always are other places where this weed lives. 

Then Doug and I were off to church at 3:30. And there was a whole lot of road repair so it was good we started early.  Heidi, Jone, Doug and I all arrived at the same time, and we all got a job.  Mine was to find eating utensils.  A few things have changed at church, so the old places had disappeared but eventually it all came together.  The group was small. but a lot of soup was eaten.  What was left over is now in the refrigerator and Doug is really happy with all the double stuffed cookies.  

Getting the body home and on the chair felt good.  I feel like a nap and that often happens when knitting needles are in my hands.  It's basketball from the west coast getting ready for the NCAA tournament. Good days keep rolling in right on to the next good day.  God is GOOD!

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another great celebration with family with a few little twists as sometimes families can produce.  But celebrate we did with lots of food and lots of card games and just lots of everything that makes memories.  We're tired and glad to say the celebration as good as it was, is over for another year.  And we're looking forward to seeing what a year from now brings.  Today was a day of picking up the pieces to move into busy December. A bit of Christmas decorating happened at home.                                        The stockings were hung.  At least two you see and three you don't. Heidi carried on with the last-minute things that happen at a busy church when scheduling seems to flop over each other during our absence.  We've scheduled another work morning for tomorrow just to make sure that everything is covered for the rest of th...

 It's been a crazy day. It started with more cinnamon rolls and then a little visiting and then it was out the door to the yard where we stayed all day long.  The hum of the chainsaws were in the air but not before the piliated birds visited.  Yes, it was chain saw heaven some would say.  The huge maple tree got its promised trim that was needed. That took a long time with the grandsons stacking wood.   A skill they have learned well and can be demonstrated with great execution.  Some was stacked and branches piled as to dead or alive with many ending up on the burn pile before the day was over.  Others were left for Doug to take care of but not many.   Then it was on to two oak trees and a crab apple.  Add the smoke tree and another very old huge maple tree. The stacked wood was put on some internet advertisement place and all disappeared after supper with a super happy couple dropping by and leaving with a car load of wood for som...
