Thursday

 Last evening I put my tired body to bed a bit earlier than usual and the morning came a bit earlier than usual.  So I visited with TV Mika and Joe and other friends of theirs.  

The sewing machine was busy for the morning until it was time for my last PT session.  I graduated.  All the early nerve problems have been resolved. The long lasting neck problem continues.  The long Feb 2021 surgery is to blame. If I had known there might have been a solution to what I was experiencing earlier intervention might have lead to a solution..  Who really knows.  But I do have some things I can do at home that Michael taught me.  It never hurts to try even though Michaels solutions hurt a lot.  Make pain you friend as my sons heard from their football playing cousin.  

Back at the ranch for lunch and then it was back in the car again.  I headed down to church to work on a few things.  Early is on time they way.  And this was early Christmas work.  


                        Nativity Ornaments are hanging from Curly Willow branches in the Chapel.                                          More can be found at other places in the weeks ahead. We're just getting started.                                              The ledges surrounding the room will be filled with Nativity sets.                                                                       The altar will be set with greenery and Advent Candles.

Then it was on to one more thing for the Hamilton Sunday.  At some point one needs to say enough. It is enough for sure.  Jill stopped in to see our endeavor and was pleases.  She is in charge of the Sunday Service.  It's a big day.  

        The angel is holding a light.  Another reminder to keep the light on faith and mental health.

Patty H. was a work once again contributing her fall altar arrangement for this year.  She never disappoints.  There is always something different and once again it happened.  Thank you so much, Patty.

I dug into soup making as soon as I was back home.  Chicken veg. this time and it was delicious.  I love that Better than Bullion stuff.  There's more soup for tomorrow and the freezer. 

I'm planning to have a quiet evening.  No sewing, no knitting, just sitting.  We'll see how that goes.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
