Ahhh a great day

 For cornbread and beans! They were so good.

Other than making the bed showers ,2, putting on make up fixing my hair and getting dressed. I did very little else. But it was so amazing how much I loved the fat.it rained on and off most of the day. The air was cool and fresh. The pond is almost running over from so much rain in the last week or so. Me running the hose to the pond last week and filling it with city water was not necessary at all. 

I cooked corn bread and beans and they were perfect . Nice and soft and the skins came off most of them. I added jalapeños in the instant pot and cooked them 30 minutes. A whole pound of them. I split the cornbread with Fleta she loves cornbread and milk. 

I made banana bread Sunday and shared with fleta. I put mine in thefrig in Fleta’s freezer bags and I only ate a little. So I walked down to her house minutes ago and dropped them off for her breakfast. I put a hand full of flaxseed in them and some nuts they were good. 

Fleta is having food provided tomorrow at work.

She is so very good to me. I think I depend on her more now than she does me. When the kids were smaller I helped more but not so much now.

I called Kelly today and told him my quilt top was done. I still have to get batting. Tack it together and then sew the edges. It’s going to be super warm.  I always love to talk to Him. It’s always a laugh a minute. So reminds me of my 3 brothers. I miss so much.

Hope to get a car this week fingers crossed!

My knees are awful. Sister Betty says motion is lotion. So I have been laying on my back and doing bicycling pumps just in the stand that even hurts! Sicko…

Let me find a picture of something.

I’m going to start minting rocks this winter  I used to be very good at tile painting and I think I can do these. There are a ton on the interned to basically copy from. Something new to do.

Not done much

 Today.

I did the floors and I cut my hair. I had spaghetti for afternoon lunch. 

I think I will sew a cover for my spa chair. I want to make a pillow like thing for my neck. 

Fleta came to see me twice today. The last time she brought me a peach. It was pretty good.

Lex is playing volleyball and Seth is playing football. They are both number 7.Seth is so tall! 

Continue

 To rain most of the night on and off. 

I finished the top 🔝 f Kelly’s quilt.

I cleaned out under the bathroom sink. I threw out almost everything. I have an entire kitchen bag full of stuff. I then wiped out all drawers and underneath with strong disinfect. I have a big mouse problem. I ordered new poison and have had it out for at least a week. Now I need to clean out the cabinets on the sink side of the kitchen. The other side I did last week. 

Last night I fell asleep watching Hells Kitchen. It apparently played all night. I dreamed I was a waitress. At my current age and health. Thank goodness I woke up at 4AM.

Fleta got home from Betty’s. Betty made 3 baby blankets for my grand girls. They were all beautiful. She is such a good hooker. Much better at it than I am.

I made homemade spaghetti sauce with meat balls. It was very good. I called Eliseo and he came up and got a trey of it.  I also made homemade rolls they were very good. I shared them with Fleta only. I sent frozen French bread with butter and garlic with Eliseo. 

Betty sent me a bag of dress pants to me. Fleta and I went through them Fleta took a few things. 

I have had allergy problems today. I found a box of new allergy pills and I kept them. They were under the sink.

A picture of Greta, Betty’s grand daughter. She found a dress to wear to a dance. Since I got to post it first Betty will think twice before sharing with me. Greta is one of my favorites. She is so pretty and such a good athlete.

Raining..

 On and off all day today!

Mackenzie had her ceremony last evening for becoming a nurses assistant. This is the first step to her becoming an RN. That is her goal now. She is going to MCC and speak to a counselor for the nursing program to get the next steps in. She graduated with 2 honors. Those are the two gold ropes and the green one is for having allready a job in her field. 

She looks so happy . I am so proud! 

I have all of the blocks seen together for Kelly’s quilt. Now I need to hook the 3 last rows to the bottom of the quilt.

I decided I’m going to be buried in the outfit I wore to JRs wedding. So today I opened my casket and put the pants outfit in there. Oh my casket smells so good! I love cedar. 

I’m going to pick up the material in the back room and tend to it plus I am going to put back up a curtain rod that I knocked down when I took the air conditioner out of the window. This has been on my list of things to do for 3 days now. Today I will get to check them off! Yeah!!!

I have books I made for the grandkids…

 That I tried to write in sometimes. Some days I can hardly read my own writing and this is one of them. I was trying to write in Mackenzie‘s book about when her mama was less than two and Melissa was born and I went to work at an old folks home at night. 

We only had one car, Mike worked days and when he would get home, I would have supper ready. I tried to sleep a little and I would go to work about 10 o’clock at night. After I got the kids to sleep.

It was in the ladies house That she had built on rooms for 10 patients. She was a retired RN and she was a nice lady. She did her best to hire help to look after the people. I’m sure it was so hard to find anyone decent to work there. But I worked nights five days a week And I liked it. I guess I’m getting more and more like those old people because I can hardly write at all now. Some days are worse than others some days. I can’t even read it myself.

I’m much better at telling stories than handwriting them down. I talk on this blog and it types it for me. Sometimes it gets my words confused. Imagine that!  most days I don’t check what I have written. I just keep on going and hope it understands and types it correctly

Sister Fleta took off this morning to Betty‘s. She stopped here and I loaded up a bunch of well, crap,as I would call it we sisters kind of send that back-and-forth. Betty can keep it or she can throw it away the same as I do the stuff she sends to me

I have gotten up and gotten dressed, made my bed at least.  Helped Fleta load the junk I had drug out on my  porch. She’s probably just now arriving at Pottsville. Betty is still at exercise class so I imagine she  is stopping at the store.. she better have  picked her up something to eat. Because eating at Betty jeans is kind of sparse. Betty almost think eating is a sin. But she told me this time she’s gonna cook for her. That will be a change. Betty says that she can’t cook worth anything anymore. I think that just reverts back to her thinking eating makes you fat so you shouldn’t do it. Me I think I’m gonna go fix myself a sandwich. Since all I’ve had today is coffee.

Had a good day. Very relaxing . I just got this pic from Kimmy. She is the best to send me pics. Lex had a dance. Alice in wonderland was the theme. Lex took. On a Mad Hatter costume. From thrifting ans sewing she made this outfit!  She is so creative! guarantee no one looked like her . I just love her free spirit🧵❤️🪄💋 there’s no one like her.. A throw back to the hippy days I say. Just. Like her Granny she would have wanted to hitch hike to Woodstock too!
