Friday

 Well, as you can see the picture problem is still with us. There might be another way to get at this bug.  Just hang in there.  Eventually we'll get this solved.  If a college kid who works on computers is stumped there really is a problem. But we had a great visit with Andrew so all was not a lost cause.  Just some.

Today.  What happened?  As you might remember, yesterday was a day at the sewing machine.  It was a sitting and pressing job for sure.  Well, today has been a standing job.  My legs are numb.  Did I need to do a standing job all day?  Of course not but there are times when the get her done just takes over.  So I got more completed on the banners with 5 of the six put together.  Not finished but they are together.  That took standing at a table with fabric pieces and flannel with a lot of pinning and basting for each banner.  All of that work meant that problems that I could have had didn't happen.  It's the back out of sight work that makes things easier in the long run.  So, my nose stayed close to the grindstone if you are old enough to remember what that means. 

I'm way ahead of the deadline which is a really good feeling.  I've noticed in the past that regardless of how early I complete a project, there is always something of some importance that fills in the time that I think has been saved. 

The day was a cloudy one with no rain but the humidity seems high.  Indiana has received a lot of rain these past few days with flooding in many places.  We're high and dry but the rivers are full and some are overflowing.  Tonight I'm going to make another surprise call this time to my cousin Eddie.  Galen is his older by not much brother.  Eddie lives in Florida and it's been many many years since I've seen him.  This should be fun.  Another voice from the past. And of course he goes by Ed.  He will always be Eddie.

Tonight is a Fever night.  We love our girls or women maybe I should say.  It should be fun game to watch.  Especially when the three pointers happen.

Putting together the sixth banner just happened.  There is one more thing for me to do on all six and then in Sept. Patty will put the finishing touches to each banner.  I can move on to something else real soon.

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...

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

 Another good start to the day with my yummy yogurt, almonds, blueberries and coffee and the TV.  But not for long.  It was back to the beloved sweat shop with burps.  That's the go to when the need to do something else comes along.  It was the last 10 of the next 100.  They will be in my closet until nearer Christmas.  Some of the burps are Christmas themed.  There was additional ripping, then folding and finally ironing where need.  The pipeline is filled again with additional work ready willing and able to become more burps. Starting on another 100 leads to the next 100 a total equaling 2500 burps.   I worked on a sign to advertise the No Kings event of the day.  Joining a big group even though it is outside is not going to happen.  But I had an idea up my sleeve. It's that germ thing and the energy thing that will keep me close to home.   Then another late morning in the garden after the warmup.  I notic...
