IN Carmel

 Well, how did the day go?  I would say mid-afternoon so far, it's good. I expect that to continue.  That is if the Colts win their 4 o'clock game.  And if they don't, I don't think that could spoil the day.   Central Indiana woke up to a very cold morning.  The bird feeders got a much-needed tweak after seeing the crowd around what could be called snow-covered feeders. I think they appreciated someone making breakfast just a bit easier to find. Doug said it was too cold to leave the house.  We decided to have different opinions. That is never a problem. After coffee and breakfast and a little TV with knitting of course I bundled up even more than the first attempt at keeping warm and I was off to church.  The snow seemed to be about 5 inches deep in the driveway, but the car acted like a champion and just made it to the street in fine order. Roads were cleared all the way to church. I will admit it was cold enough to have a quick and su...

                                                                   You get one guess.  What am I missing. Two posting on the same day.  Be aware of the two postings that have the same date...Dee.  I bet you didn't miss that at all knowing your attention to details. I cannot control the date, just naming the day. What happened today.  There was the beginning with knitting...then a trip south to church and a morning of work that created an eat in meal and a lot of carry out food.  We have a group of folks that go out to schools and rescues packaged food the children choose not to eat.  The food collected is distributed to other soup kitchen as well as ours.  This collection creates a lot of extra goodies. Prepackaged vegetables(tomatoes), fresh fruit (grapes...

                                                                             A memory of warmer times.   First thing...!!! I can never figure out all the crazy things this blog can bring to me.  Last night it had disappeared.  This morning it was back.  I hope the party it was attending was a good one.  And I welcome back with open arms my dear blog.   So, what happened yesterday.  I was going to report last night that not much happened.  I was home all day.  That was a good comfy thing.  And my fingers were busy with the needle finishing one stole cross and the second one is 90% finished. I made another small pot of coffee and watched for birds. I hope they were visiting their grandparents.  Litt...

 Not too many things happened today but my body is telling me what happened was enough.    I worked on the needle work this morning finishing one small cross.  But I really want to say it's not finished until it is on one side of the stole.  There is a whole lot more to do and since Lent is the deadline, there is a lot of time.   Then it was off to church for the second of four nativity open house events.  The predicted winter weather was a factor for a not so complete 100% attendance record. We had a few cancellations, but we carried on with about 10 folks coming to enjoy the nativities.  The cancellations assured us they would be back at the next open house. We would say another success for today's event. The threat of more snow caused us to cancel the evening visit time.  There was only one person coming and with a phone call that person came during our day event.  We're down to one more Thursday nativity visit.    ...

 It's been a busy day but now my job is to remember what happened. I stopped at Patty's yesterday and relieved her of a project she was stuck on.  Stuck meant out of ideas about how to finish a project.  She was stuck.  So, the project came to this house and this morning I pulled out threads and ribbon and more and came up with a plan.  That's as far as it went this morning.  BU T...I had a plan.  That's all I wanted at that moment.   I decided to do some Christmas shopping.  I was all set to go to Kohls.  I looked for my Kohl's card, and I could not find it.  What a bummer.  It was new...I have not used this one and what happened to it is beyond me.  I thought I had put it with my other card.  Not there.  So instead of Kohls...I went to Target.   And I found what I wanted there. Goodwill was close to Target so there was another look for flannel sheets.  There was not a one.  Woo.  M...

 Another Tuesday on the calendar.  It would seem this is doctor month.  At least I'm seeing a few for another visit. Today was one of those days.   So, it was breakfast, a smidgen of knitting and then on the road for various reasons.  I stopped at R and B's with some soup.  Visited a little bit and had a good laugh when I tried to leave the house through the closet door.  Dah!  What was I thinking.  As Mi. Marcia might say.  Then I was on my way to Methodist to visit the seizure doctor.  She is a gem.  Since Methodist is a teaching hospital, I first had a visit with another Nuro doctor in "training".  She asked a whole lot of questions, and the exam was a great one for sure.  Some blood work was ordered and a script for physical therapy was also written.  I hate those scripts which create a lot of work on my part but since there were some recent falls, I will admit balance is a bit screwed up.  Uck!...
