sunday in pictures

I'm going to do a Sunday in pictures post today.

We went to Suzette's in Jordan last night with Kathy, a childhood friend of mine, and her husband, Jack. They're a hoot. We spent about 5 hours together eating, talking, laughing. I had the seafood mixed grill...lobster, shrimp, and scallops. Delicious. The left-overs will be my dinner with a spinach salad.

Regis and I are doing our usual weekend sit in front of the fireplace while we drink coffee and cyber connect. We're making a plan for the day and since we did so darn little yesterday, there are lots of things to do today. Here's my list:

  • Try to get in the garden to fill the bird feeders. This involves snow up to my butt and is not an easy task.
  • Tidy up the house. (Done)
  • Pick up the clothes from the week that I have strewn about the house. (Done)
  • Set the table. I learned this from Mom. If the table is set, I am less likely to pile stuff on it. (Done)
  • Put away the last of the Christmas stuff that was forgotten. (Done)
  • Get my lunch bag ready for the week....refill protein, refill nuts and dried fruit, etc. (Done)
  • Go to the coop for a few things. Pizza crust, spinach, tomatoes, pecans, almonds. (Done)
  • Get a bag ready for the thrift store pick-up Wednesday. (Done)

Coffee in front of the faux fireplace.


Coffee...


Potpourri of dishes. The green and white and the pink and white tea cups were my Aunt Vi's. The yellow cream pitcher and sugar bowl were Grandma Elsie's. The rest of them came from Mom.


Regis makes me a Mexican omelet...delicious! A little bacon, a little cheese, and some spicy hot salsa! Sherry, see your picture on the refrigerator door!


The picture is a little fuzzy, but you get the idea. I also took a picture of my lunch but that was a really bad picture. I had beets, broccoli salad, two green beans, two shrimp, and a scallop.

Well, I got distracted by a couple shiny things and didn't get a chance to finish this. Now, I am tired and here comes Monday....

Great blog! I truly love how it’s easy on my eyes and the details are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which ought to do the trick! Have a nice day!

festival of winter fun

Here's a link to the Free Press site where you can find a video and a slide show with audio of the Polar Plunge. Here's the slide show of Sunday's festivities. Jane and Dick had planned to leave on Sunday but how can you pass up the Polar Plunge and a Blastfest?

being thankful

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the crap in life because there certainly is some of it. Anybody who reads the paper, listens to the news, or who gets dressed and leaves the house once a day knows it. There are so many things for which to be thankful, though, so my mental exercise this morning as I drink my coffee and watch my fireplace is to think of them. The safety of our friend, Bob, after his terrifying roll-over on an icy road near Alexandria. It took me two days to respond to his email because it was such a frightening story. As he is a good and kind person, he didn't curse the state for not sanding or even nature for sending such road conditions, but he was grateful for the kindness of a stranger and for his health. For all of this, I am thankful. A warm and well-lit house, tiny as it is. Regis and I have lived in this bitty two-bedroom, 1950's style rambler since we married 13 years ago. Most days we are overwhelmingly grateful for it's coziness and lack of st

dreams and sucking out the bad stuff

Image
I don't really know what kind of drugs I was on during surgery. I know they gave me Versed right before I was wheeled down the hall. Just a little something to take the edge off, I guess. It also does a good job of erasing the memories. I recall seeing the OR but then the lights go out. The next few days have been like this Van Gogh painting...lots of starry naps and dim memories. I've been taking Percoset since I came home. It does a good job on the pain but today it created some nausea. It also makes me fall asleep in the middle of conversations which some people find disconcerting. I skipped my 2 o'clock dose but decided about 6 that a little nausea is worth the pain control. I am not a hero when it comes to pain. I don't even like a hint of pain. This is an interesting part of my post-surgical experience. It's a suction drainage thing. The tube end disappears into my skin under my arm and is fastened there with a couple of Frankenstein stitches.I
