Wednesday

 


It would appear that the Easter Bunny has made a visit.  Who can pass up jelly beans? Now you know.

Once again another morning that was totally different then most.  It was eye doctor day in Noblesville.  I was on my way at 9:30 for a 10:30 appointment.  It usually takes about an hour to make that trip.  This morning I did something different.  There are many roads that lead to Noblesville and I took the one less traveled.  The trip took much less time wandering through familiar country side I hadn't seen for a very long time.  That also got me to Dr. Young's office in record time.  So I sat for a while waiting for that 10:30 appointment that really didn't happen till 11.  

Who should I meet there when leaving was a dear teacher friend.  We usually see each other every month for lunch but the busies have really hindered our meeting  Carol steered me to this eye office more than 40 years ago.  We have a date in April for our next gathering teacher gathering.

I continued the trip home on another familiar road stopping at Needlers to buy one of their delicious chicken pot pies. Supper is taken care of.  There was another drugstore stop for eye meds that will help dry eyes that are really wet eyes.  The tear ducts don't work so well.  It's something called old age.  That's the truth for some folks.

Then home for lunch.  As I write I hear the lawn guys are here.  Yes, it's Wednesday with the sun today providing a little heat.  Mind you...I'm not complaining.  A trip to Ace Hardware for a few things made it possible to prepare for a mend job on two sections of fence.  It's another pussywillow fence which I love to build and look at.  The problem is that they absolutely fall apart after the winter does it's thing..  


Another bed pretty much cleaned out for a start.  C Charlie was everywhere. There is always more one can do but a lot of Charlie is gone for at least a while. And...I'm tired!

I also was out and about with my shovel looking for baby violets.  They are not on my good list, even though Doug loves them.  He just doesn't see what I see in them.  It was trash day with full bins and now that they are empty, there is stuff waiting for that space again.  

                                            Yup...same old same old.  It just keeps coming.

Games tonight.  I do think one involves Purdue.  Should be a fun game.  Knitting continues.  I'm moving right along. I know where I'm going which makes the process much easier.  Well, sort of

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...

 Back home again in Indiana.  That's where we were arriving late afternoon yesterday after a wonderful time with Jared, Kimmy and the grandsons adding Kimmy's many relatives to our visit.  It was just what I needed.                                                         Happy times but good grief.  What's with the hair, girl?      We arrived late at the Jared/Kimmy Russell home Thursday afternoon again rediscovering family again along with many free-range chickens, three cats, joe, the horse, three ducks four ewes and Eli's sheep for this year's 4-H entry.  Numerous goldfish would join us later in the week.       This is Eli's friend Hope holding renamed Barb because her nest was found hidden in the rhubarb.             ...

Monday

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...
