Friday

 

                                            More seed Dahlias.  Pretty in their simplicity.

Yikes!  I had enough to do today.  Maybe enough for two days.  So here goes the day.  Up not so early but early enough.  Since there was some important stuff to do at I U North I could not eat breakfast after 6:30.  So happy to say there was 15 minutes to eat before breakfast needed to be over.  

So it was yogurt with a little more yogurt.  And the of course knitting.  I finished another one.  One with a new kind of yarn which created a soft scarf.  Maybe one I'll keep.  Who knows until I decide.  I was off to guess where.  I U North for the six month Pet Scan and it happened.  It's a whole body scan.  Well almost to see what's going on cancer wise almost everywhere in the body.  I should get the results maybe tomorrow if I can read the Portal correctly.  I'm remembering all the interesting things that happen during the radioactive process.  The nurse that is in charge has done this for quite a while so it another friend's meeting with a lot to talk about.  There is an hour to wait till all the nucellar stuff finds it's way through the body so I called and texted my friends for entertainment.

                                                                From Dahlia Hill.

Then it was back home for something to eat and eat I did.  I have a great appetite that carries me along.  

I decided it was time to tackle the banners again.  The last job is to attach the sleeve that is used to hang the banners on poles in the sanctuary.  So now three are finished adding the fourth that was finished a few weeks ago.  Two more to go with all the pieces ready to attach when Patty is finished with embellishment.  She is the best at that job. It will be great to see them hanging on Oct. 1.

Then came time with Diana, my great PT friend.  There is the before talk but as soon as she starts working I just go silent.  Her touches where the first surgery happened on my neck are like magic happening.  I can feel my neck loosening.  If only it will stay that way. 

                                            Eli, playing goolie had just thrown the ball after a big save. 

Home and it was the first of many soup nights with a starter from the left overs from last night's Shepherd's Pie.  Delicious.  

During the afternoon hours Julie, Dr. Schneider's nurse tried to call.  Once was when I was having PT.  I ignored the call.  And she called once when Doug was home alone.  He ignored it only telling me Julie called.  There was nothing on the answering machine.  Well, I checked the Portal for Pet Scan News.  And there were the results.  Take a big breath!  No changes in my Pet Scan.  Woo.  God is walking along side.  That's a sure thing and the journey continues starting in 2020.  I must make this gift count. God and my body continues to surprise me.  


                                                                From Jared and Kimmy's garden.

Also my sister is back at the Barrington determined to get better.  Her goal is to return to her apartment.  I think she can do that but it will be a painful time succeeding.  

So the fire works of celebration happened today.  Doug and I are going to Dairy Queen.  He for a blizzard and me for a huge cone or if possible a Sunday with something on it.  Not quite sure but there will be something for sure.

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...

 It's 7 PM and 66 degrees maybe with a breeze off the lake.  Changed to long pants and a better jacket.  It's cloudy right now with a chance of rain tonight.  Most rains are not predicted so it's maybe yes and maybe no.  So what was today like.  Check what was posted for yesterday with  kayaking deleted. Read, slept, walked and played cards once again.  We had icecream at the Fort Store.  That was a first.   We played a couple of games of Kubb.  It's a great yard game that one can become proficient in quickly.  The WiFi is really slow for picture up loads so one will need to do.   Tonight the JB family will begin packing for home.  The camp kitchen will come down and tomorrow morning the tent will be next.  The hope is that they will leave the campground no later than 10 after their last pancake breakfast at our dining fly.  It's always a sad time but the plan is to do this all over again next year...

3 plus 1 = Jared...Dee.

 This morning...nothing different.  Cards and Pancakes with no rain and none promised.  That could change but so what.  A little rain never has stopped us from doing.   The first big bottle of syrup and the first bag of pancake mix is gone but there is more stashed away.  We never run out of breakfast fixings.  The second book is well on the way. I think it's the same for Doug.  I spent the afternoon with Natasha sitting on the deck and visiting with her mother Dorthy.  She is a great storyteller.  Natasha's dad is our potter friend Dennis.  Natasha is also a potter among many other things.  This is a picture of the shop.  A large deck behind the deck is a sweet place to visit and make new friends.   Today our church friends Jeanie and Neal arrived.  They will be here for 3 nights.  We'll do a little visiting later around the Jared Russell campfire giving them some ideas of what they might like to ...
