I have tried to visit the last few days but every attempt was aborted by this!
But this morning I had something to say so I moved Molly and the chair out of the way. My old Operator’s chair will work just as well so here we go.
The rain has been impeding the continuation of weeding for me this week. It’s good for pulling them out but kneeling in mud isn’t my cup of tea. It didn’t rain Tuesday but three of Jay’s sisters came to visit.
In front from the left is Emily from Owasso, MI. and Linda in visiting everyone from Iowa. In the back row is Jay of course ( he is the one not wearing a dress) and Marilyn from Warren, MI. Jacki his other sister wasn’t present today. Jay and I made a scrambled eggs with mushrooms dish, sausage patties, and blue berry scones with lemon glaze for brunch. The girls spent about five hours with us before moving on to Jacki’s house.
On Wednesday I got a call in the morning that Jeanie had rushed my brother Gene to the hospital with what appeared to be a stroke. We drove over immediately but the hospital staff was running tests and observations unsure what had actually happened. He spent most of the day in ER not actually being aware of what was going on but obnoxious about everything.
We went back over yesterday and he was much improved but after two cat scans in two days we still had no answers. I well call today today to talk to him and if he is ok see him on Sunday. I’m sure there will be many scares like this before we are through.
Today the sun is shining but I have to take Brandy into the Vet’s for her shots so I don’t know if I’ll get to the gardens or not. Tomorrow Les and family are due up for a visit and to iron out some wrinkles in the new computer setup. Oh well the weeds have been there all winter so they aren’t going anywhere soon!
You know I’m just a little tired but I’m sure the stress is causing a lot of it. So I’ll pull up my big girl pants ( and I do mean BIG ) and get over it!!!
Firmness with that cat. . . that is what is needed. She rules the house, but don’t you just love her!
That’s a great photo of Jay and his sisters. I bet you all had a wonderful visit.
Tired? Of course you are. It is time to relax and put your feet up. Even if it is for just a little while. I am sure Molly will curl up with you and keep you company.
In the Spring, we had a series of Family Fun Nights at church. Each evening on the dinner tables was a question to begin discussion. The answers were written on index cards and posted on the wall of the Fellowship Area.
One time the question was “If you could ask God one question directly, and get an answer before you die, what would your question be?”
On boy about as tall as my shoulder, and having been a helper for bunches of yard work, said “Why do the weeds grow faster than the vegetables in the garden?”
We all want to know the answer to that one!
I’m sure Molly just likes being wherever the action is, but not actually moving herself. She’s a beauty.
Nice picture of the sisters. The fella seems a bit out of his element, tho.
