CLAY AND WATTLES

I had a list of things to do today. I've managed 3.  Then I thought about my Farmer's Wife quilt I started I think in 2017.  I have the blocks I made during the years following in a binder, wit...

 Our Sunday School lesson this morning was on Jeremiah 3.  Reading ahead and keeping the lessons in context, you can just see our nation reflected in these chapters.  God's warnings, His patie...

 Appointment with Vickie this afternoon for possible UTI.  Yet another. Going to see Edwina to see if she's up to going to cousins' lunch Friday.  Dread it as I have not stayed in touch with...

Paul seems to be feeling better.  Yesterday we went to the opening of the Farmers' Market at Jay Bird Park.  I walked around some, bought 2 boules from Duck Trails Farms (Catherine T); one fo...

I haven't been good at all keeping up with this blog.  Things happen. My heart has been broken a few times. I've struggled with depression and trying to get the right meds I can tolerate.  Th...

 Paul has managed to be outdoors a LOT and I'm very thankful.  His balance is not so good - he still uses the walker in the house and the rollater to get to the garage.  But it's so much bette...

What is it I'm hearing here?  Paul has been on the phone for almost an hour with ML trying to get logged in and he and the rep are not communicating.  But this is the third time today I know th...

Just when I thought... Reading last year's blog, as it were - short and grievous and thankful by turns or simultaneously.   After May of last year this happened: Paul had a prostate biops...

  May 13, 2021  Today we took Thelma to get her annual check up and shots.  (We couldn’t catch Lucy.)  We got in a room pretty quickly and Jenni came in right away.  Thelma needs her te...

There is no excuse for not doing things I used to love.  I may have become 1) Lazy; 2) Complacent; 3) Depleted of all creativity; 4) Dry of any Spiritual Water. During the last year of COVID ...

I guess I've been fairly busy; the weather hasn't been agreeable most days, but there's been some sun.   Family was here for Sher's retirement/welcome home get-together January 6.  Amy could...

Sher is home, home, home!  Today (1-4-2019) she's working on her house, Glen Cottage.  Moving furniture around in that tine space, but it'll look like a doll house once she's finished.  She s...

We napped - I woke up at 2:30 and couldn't go back to sleep.  Paul has a scratchy throat.  Oscar is resting up from Dexter being here and all the activity.  Lucy and Thelma ventured to the bac...

Paul had three doctors' appointments this week; he went to Tupelo once alone and I went with him the second time.  He's learned he has emphysema.  That is just a foreign word that you never exp...

When the Old Woman attacks, she does it hard.   Ankles swelled bad last night, BP spike; bed early, slept off and on 14 hours. Stomach kind of upset. Paul gone to Tupelo today to urolog...

A little "recovery day..."   We had TG dinner at Jenni and Billy's and food galore, good visiting, beautiful weather.  Sher was here and she ate dinner with us there, then went to Mike's to ...

My beautiful Christmas cactus(es) I had brought in a few weeks ago.  I've had Paul put her in the garage the last several years because he could handle her. She really is big so  Jess's husband...

The last of the B's - I had decided to take a rest from these; it's hard to quilt, though.  I have a scrappy small quilt I need to sash and cornerstone, border, sandwich, quilt and bind. What wa...

My latest Farmers Wife block is Blossom.  There is one more "B" block - Bride - I think I'll do then rest from that a while and work on my scrap quilt.  But the little 6 1/2" blocks are so hard...

Next week several from church plan to drive the Trace from here to Nashville to eat at Loveless's Restaurant.  I jut wasn't sure I was up to a 6 hour round trip plus time to eat.  Not to mentio...
