Wednesday

 Well!  Last night was a very long night with the TV.  That happens once in a while and last night came with a good reason to stay up until way past midnight.  So, now we know a little bit but still when writing this there is still Mississippi and Alaska to uncover their results.  

                    The last Dahlia.  It looks like I'm ready for Easter.  Planning ahead, you know.

I was up early to see what happened to the senate race.  Woo.  Surprise, surprise. There were 52 when I went to bed.  Currently 54 with more possibilities perhaps. 

Then it was a morning of visiting with the neighbors for a while waiting for the garbage truck.  I had cookies and the right guy came along at the right time.  I like my garbage man.

Then it was back in the house ready to tackle more fabric.  It's a bit difficult to just let it on the shelf..  So by the end of the day another 100 burps were ready for Ginny.  I'm closing in on 3000 burps soon heading in groups of 100 to Goodwill babies with a prayer that successful early learning will be a part of their growing up years.  I worked on burps till 3pm and then took a meaningful break walking around the block.  Woo.  It wasn't easy but I made it. I think walking a mile on the treadmill is easier.

                                      A lot of pretty little patterns for this batch of burps.

Of course there was lunch which came with a surprise nap time since the night hours were a little skimpy.  Supper was another meatloaf supper almost like last nights.  Not quite but almost.  

TV was a rehash of Tuesday.  Fun to see the excitement.  The hard visible work starts in January but the behind the scenes work starts right now.

 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.                ...
