Wednesday

 The usual stuff started the day.  I managed to get rid of the last pile of garbage stuff.  Later in the morning Doug took care of one of the hibiscus bushes. 

                               A hiding place was discovered.  I'll get them one of these days.

I missed a big clump of Susans.  Humm.  More work for another day. I cleared off the patio, cut new flowers for the kitchen and some for drying. The patio pot was missing the geranium I pulled out last week. A Kale filled the spot after finding a walnut the squirrel had hidden in that same spot. Soon after that our Michigan friends, the Shard's, Bill and Penny arrived. They are a part of what I call our extended family and Kimmy's parents. 


                      Nice shinny big toy I would say.  It's a mover for sure with a lot of storage spots.

                                                    Talk time.  Really picture time on the patio.

        Eating time at Bru Burgers, a very popular eating place in Carmel.  Super burgers and great salads.

The patio was our talking spot for quite a while.  Then with tummies growling we were off to Bru Burgers for lunch.  My most favorite place to eat always ordering the same salad that is just yummy.  The place was full as it usually is with us taking the last available table.  So after more visiting with either salads or burgers having disappeared, we were off on a tour of Carmel.  Roundabouts taking us to many places.  
                        It was impossible to do all 150 roundabouts but we really did a few for sure.                                 Penny snapped this picture while we were sitting in the garage waiting for a back seat guy.

We motored on over to Rosie's for eye candy all about fall.  The place was stunning with the flower part full to the max with anything one would want for fall decorating.  There was even a monarch in the cage at my earlier visit. Penny wanted to see everything.  And we all did.  

Then back home with goodbyes to them heading back to Kokomo to their RV for supper and more CMA meetings.  They will be heading north again tomorrow, I think.  


I sat for a spell, slept for a spell, watch TV for a spell and made an apple/grape/almond salad for supper. 

The day was busy, and the evening balanced that out with not being busy.  It was great to see our friends again making the day a special one.

 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...

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...

Amazing Saturday

 For many reasons it has been an amazing day.  One to remember as long as memory allows me.   Once again sleep did not stick with me, so I was once again out of bed around 1 last night.  I thought of checking the IU Portal for whatever it was going to tell me.  And it did a lot of talking about the scan that happened Wednesday.  The Easter portal news is that all cancer related things seem to be pretty stable with even some slight improvement in one area. Ever so slight but that still is great news.  So. for now, I feel like the stone has been rolled away and new life is with me.  Thanks be to God.  So back to bed and I slept till 6.  I'll take it with Thanksgiving.  Breakfast came and the clock proved it was time to leave for Church to get a jump on Easter visuals before the crew arrived.                 New members Hannah and Andrew working in the chapel with the lamb and...
