I just read Dee's blog. Funny guy. Makes me laugh.
A couple of news things...It would seem that we are going to get slammed with the mother of all ice/snow storms. Not to scary for us retired folks. No deadlines to meet, no jobs that cannot be put off for another day. The big caution is that the inch of ice predicted could bring down power lines and that would not be good. Cold in the winter is not fun. I guess we could just go to bed if that is the case.
The sewing machine has been humming. Doug says he needs to throw water on the motor to cool it off. It's not that bad but I've had fun with some new stuff. Well, old stuff come to think of it. I'm into pillows now that are covered with silk ties that are taken apart and embelished with thread. Beth G gave me some wonderful drapes that she had. I tore them apart, washed them and tomorrow I'm making placemats with one of them. The fabric is fantastic. Kat's placemats are finished. Well, one set. It's valentine fabric on one side and St. Patrick's fabric on the other.
If the blizzard comes tomorrow, the Xmas stuff/tree is scheduled to go back in the box. Well, that's the plan at this point. We'll see.
I'm calling what follows my beginning of the next part of my life check up. I'm seeing NO Doctors this week. Last Fri. was the last for I hope for a long time. All systems checked out and I know enough about what's going on from upper to lower gi. Heart valves are working, neck arteries are clean, eyes are doing great, knee is doing just fine when I'm nice to it sugar levels are within reason and all is well with the world.
That's it from Hillsdale Dr. for this Monday evening! Sounds like G. Kealer.

Just a week...
This time only 7 days have passed since I wrote. I passed the tie project on to it's owner who was most appreciative. My Hancock fabric friends told me about a shop that sells recycled items. Recycled ties would fit the catagory. I visited the store yesterday and it's a wonderful place in Clay Terrace. So...there might be a small business in the making. Well, maybe not. Doctor visits continue to be part of this week. One more to go with an upper gi on Friday. Doc. Goens will know everything about me inside and out. I finished a set of 8 placemats for Kat. Valentine's Day on one side St. Patrick's Day on the other. More to come but I can do them later. Other than a busy week with Doctors, not much going on.

A month or so.
It's been a while. I just had to climb a huge mountain to admit that I forgot how to post pictures. What a ditz I am. So...you will get the printed word. I could show you so many things but that's not going to happen now.
I've been busy as usual. No to much has changed. This morning I'm working at the church desk. This Friday evening we are having a huge Umoja Kenya dinner here at church that has kept me more than busy. First I was the table decorator person. That's easy. Then I became the lady in the kitchen working with a Kenya lady cooking Kenyan food. That's harder. I'm declaring that this is my last Kenyan event that I'm helping to implement. Nothing like this will be on my plate for a long long time if ever.
I've been having fun with the sewing machine again. I took it in for a check up and 15 days later I picked it up with an un checked up. I have an appointment for Feb. 14th. So...the project of the month is to make two wall hangings and a huge pillow with neckties given to me by a choir friend whose husband died last year. Much to my surprise I've found this fun to do. For the most part the tie selection has lead to some wonderful pieces. I've included lots of hand work which has added a lot of interested. At least, that's my evaluation.
This month is also physical check up month. I'm seeing a whole bunch of doctors as dictated by my internest. He's nuts on sending patients to doctors and I think is looking for a needle in the haystack which he hasn't found so far. I really commend his aggressive treatment looking under the mattress, under every rock and is not satisfied until he does. A lot of doctors go to him so I think I'm in pretty good company. I think about strokes a lot. I think she was 74 when she had hers. I'm not far behind that number. Just two more doctors to go. I've been to two already not counting my doctor.
