So many times I have thought I should do a blog post, but for various reasons decided to wait till later, till a better time. Only by then I am out energy, out of the mood or something.</p><p>It is absolutely wonderful living here where I can see the kids and see Lorelei every so often. Can you believe I will be taking her to Driver's Ed this summer? Where has the time gone. She will also have marching band practice this summer, and is in drumline now, so she does not have a lot of free time.</p><p>I ordered the stuff to build a ramp for Roger....when we go to dr. or anywhere, he uses a wheel chair. Anyway, I ordered the parts and waited and waited for them to come. By the time they come, Jeremy was working 7 days a week for the most part, and long days at that. Finally he had Thanksgiving weekend, and he and one of his buddies put it in for us. Before that, Roger was struggling to get down the steps. (In the house he uses walker.)</p><p>I don't get a lot of sewing done, but I am still working on the little 4 inch unfinished blocks...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Lp1AFyPTnPzCGjAg_fJYv6-8TDeXD8yTtLcXOqjCjxokm4Vie7dENgvxzBk9HL1ePZLXSSooKl2PUr8a5TOG0TmV5GHCELd191a9Hu4Jx5OiQd48v5BqKaJmY9Yonvh7EsyAhmAk_LF53ymmLkH61YhG5vxrs-cv8R-RBpKN2i8E-RbcS5hlt0jvnyI/s550/20240205_204837.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="504" data-original-width="550" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Lp1AFyPTnPzCGjAg_fJYv6-8TDeXD8yTtLcXOqjCjxokm4Vie7dENgvxzBk9HL1ePZLXSSooKl2PUr8a5TOG0TmV5GHCELd191a9Hu4Jx5OiQd48v5BqKaJmY9Yonvh7EsyAhmAk_LF53ymmLkH61YhG5vxrs-cv8R-RBpKN2i8E-RbcS5hlt0jvnyI/w400-h366/20240205_204837.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>I have almost 400 of them made now...it will take around 600 to make a bed quilt.

It is quilted, both machine and hand quilting. It needs more quilting though, but not sure I am going to do it. It is just to hang on the wall and be pretty. I wish you could see the sashing/border fabric...it is not as dark as it shows in the photo. </p><p>This is just a little update. I wish I could get back in the habit of posting more but there never seems to be much time.</p><p><br /></p>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-57381515238990779382023-10-01T14:49:00.000-04:002023-10-01T14:49:27.916-04:00Hello Blog Friends<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4nqErs4XsLtza1i0gGrOxzOoi9Ruw0L3I9Oeoey-ylvs10Gj_ugzA6gNCxPAi6jh-YF5q3Coaf0j8j0foesqD4wXmXCIFkspIZKDeCAqRgVTy2uSp7RMdE218BVw0F8I4uuI9ElNyHam3D5lEYU1RstHxX9Gy1bRXcsgZuejqlkGcQu8UXicAJaZlBQ/s1694/Gus2-20230819_170355.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1694" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg4nqErs4XsLtza1i0gGrOxzOoi9Ruw0L3I9Oeoey-ylvs10Gj_ugzA6gNCxPAi6jh-YF5q3Coaf0j8j0foesqD4wXmXCIFkspIZKDeCAqRgVTy2uSp7RMdE218BVw0F8I4uuI9ElNyHam3D5lEYU1RstHxX9Gy1bRXcsgZuejqlkGcQu8UXicAJaZlBQ/s1600/Gus2-20230819_170355.jpg" width="454" /></a></div><br /> I have been meaning to pop in and do a little post for ages...I would like to keep this blog alive if possible.

He was about to go to sleep, but he likes to keep an eye on me throughout the day. He does not want to miss anything. And if Roger is watching TV in our room, he insists on going and checking on him every so often.<p></p><p>***********</p><p>Roger not only <b><i>has not</i></b> fallen any more, but he sleeps through the night every now and then. If not through, most times only up once. He had not slept through the night in at least 2 or 3 yrs...and was up multiple times most nights....since being here he has slept throughh at least 4 or 5 nights. He is still staying up later. Which probably helps with not being up multiple times, but even before when he stayed up late, he was up at least 2 or 3 times a night. Anyway, I am so thankful for this.</p><p>We get to see Lorelei and her mom often, too...at least once a week! Lorelei spent the night last night...she is in the marching band so has practice this summer.</p><p>************</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF4Fd2N0B6InU8m17UqYiGBxI0QyjkiflxpSC4zZfqXbHGv6eV-yfxcX4CkCacPxmXmVrAyffj-BTrROFZ4trv5ZTLEIeQoLV_9M-WWPQEK8Jr4NHYgs-q578uiENW97VqgCGaqSs0LdjvQxx0_D5AUQWMkQrpxGKZisOShS8YmK7nblUtbqIBhGt0/s1200/20230607_212734.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF4Fd2N0B6InU8m17UqYiGBxI0QyjkiflxpSC4zZfqXbHGv6eV-yfxcX4CkCacPxmXmVrAyffj-BTrROFZ4trv5ZTLEIeQoLV_9M-WWPQEK8Jr4NHYgs-q578uiENW97VqgCGaqSs0LdjvQxx0_D5AUQWMkQrpxGKZisOShS8YmK7nblUtbqIBhGt0/s1600/20230607_212734.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><br /> This is the start of my daughter's current project...the star on the left is sewn together. The one on the right as two or three rows that the rows ares sewn but then they have to be sewn to the rest of the start. She does the cutting, and marking and I do the sewing.

I may or may not trim the to make them completely square. But I will do something with them. Maybe make a potholder, or mug rug.</div><div><br /></div><div>I continue to mess with the little scraps...making boxed squares, and even had several of them on the design wall, but took them down without taking a pic. It is going to take a gazillion to make a quilt of any size.

She was facing him and wrapped her arms around under his armpits, and physically picked him up to where he could get his legs under him...after she got him up I was pushing from behind...</div><div><br /></div><div>Then she was able to help him get steady on his feet. Both these falls he <b><i>was</i></b> using his walker. I am amazed he did not hurt himself on it. I do not know how she did it, she is NOT big...not tall...but she does work out most days. Her job requires that she stays fit. </div><div><br /></div><div>Otherwise, he slept through the night a night or two ago, the first time in years. He is not up as much at night either. a lot of nights only one time...but sometimes two.</div><div><br /></div><div>That is about it for now.

We are moving in with one of our daughters. So we will be there when things happen. They will not have to miss a whole day of work if they need to help us...or if Roger ends up in ER again. She had to have contractors in...they are done. And the girls have been taking loads of things. Even dug up some things and transferred over there last fall.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have gotten rid of so much stuff it is not even funny. And there is so much more to go through. My mind is in a whirl. Which it has been that way for a while now anyway. I used to read at least one book a week, and more than likely two or three. Now, it takes me a month...for various reasons. And I do read more in the summer when I can go outside and sit.</div><div><br /></div><div>More has happened with Roger...I won't bore you with too much of it though. He fell flat out on his face Feb 3...ended up with a black eye, and I am pretty sure a cracked or broken rib...and skinned a place on his arm that I am still taking care of. He has only been out of the house twice since then, and that because I wanted the dr. to look at his arm.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will hush for now...don't know if I will be posting again for a while, but thought I would do a little update.<br /><p><br /></p></div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-61113897266434876762022-10-12T15:04:00.003-04:002022-10-12T15:04:25.405-04:00Fall is falling....<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIqwiqiE-2DeitzsBet8awsUrI8FBqyaxRbXIKH0118-Zw2b-e69aTNkt5sUYg4nt7Upu4rzA7KtCvX6uABPTqt99fC-XoyCKIVvGtste3-JGHYVr6D_lhGeRHb01zWuYAu3S_sro9NJVu47KTaMQumQzAM4f76IdQJBuVnj0iL_Fea63FYK4hAm-/s1200/DSC01007.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1199" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIqwiqiE-2DeitzsBet8awsUrI8FBqyaxRbXIKH0118-Zw2b-e69aTNkt5sUYg4nt7Upu4rzA7KtCvX6uABPTqt99fC-XoyCKIVvGtste3-JGHYVr6D_lhGeRHb01zWuYAu3S_sro9NJVu47KTaMQumQzAM4f76IdQJBuVnj0iL_Fea63FYK4hAm-/s320/DSC01007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> This photo was taken at least a week ago...maybe longer. I just went and checked...October 2...so yeah, it is over a week old. Can you see the 4 guests that it has. One of them is a bit hard to distinguish but it is there. I actually thought there was a 5th but I was wrong. Anyway, I love goldenrod...<div><br /></div><div>It has rained a bit today. You would not believe the big old leaves that are on the ground. Last year, they literally disintegrated while still on the trees from all the dry weather. That will not be the case this year. While the only tree we have in our yard is a dogwood, our yard has the most leaves of any place around. </div><div><br /></div><div>We went to our daughters' houses yesterday....there were so many beautiful trees along the way. I so miss being able to ride shotgun and take photos along the way. Normally I can still sort of do that with my point and shoot because there will be spells of no traffic. Not so yesterday. I was behind someone all the way there and back yesterday, or if not behind someone, leading the way for others. But mostly, behind people. <br /><p></p><p>***********</p><p>I wish I had the energy to start my other blog again but I am beginning to wonder will I ever get back on track. Roger is still doing pretty good, but in some areas he lost ground and just does not seem to gain it back.</p><p>We are making a big life change, or in the early stages of it. IF I can live through it. If we succeed, it will be a while down the road. Either way, at some point I will tell what it is.</p><p>I will leave you with a little video I just found:</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Fvn9C6b6WE" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-65912826251115978692022-10-01T20:52:00.001-04:002022-10-01T20:52:36.243-04:00Lucky pups<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWZbWwh2S7AVuFVSwmp1qcGD3G93TFCd--AZcaqWQx0pz5rVG_sb2V1PUWnPlVSGKg7KeHoipxnn-t6bfN89MOUkKUY1XVwfMmlF8B63A9HxdKPAEwXAiIQxB15oNRVUh8-Ikck0neF_MzBghw5zBvEWTtKHGk5W-hW4aTmYmJit4igt4Vs5jzUvn/s960/66586.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWZbWwh2S7AVuFVSwmp1qcGD3G93TFCd--AZcaqWQx0pz5rVG_sb2V1PUWnPlVSGKg7KeHoipxnn-t6bfN89MOUkKUY1XVwfMmlF8B63A9HxdKPAEwXAiIQxB15oNRVUh8-Ikck0neF_MzBghw5zBvEWTtKHGk5W-hW4aTmYmJit4igt4Vs5jzUvn/s320/66586.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> Oh, to be able to relax like this! <p></p><p>And below is a couple shots, showing then and now....the day they brought them home and now.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGgpWNilPipiklOulkSRgntja8XpplHcJLNChyeYolS7VkrntEPR_KTkSu54Ymmb13kQoOflsQ2tGS5CQcASYK5iFuC_IOQA93RJ4WIStXPzObrPQ3UdrodFqSDXemqunGz2loIOhU3tVP2RPQxLBzjvK5XllPdJMTMQJulER4iHwohKfZyuH0RSi/s960/66939.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUGgpWNilPipiklOulkSRgntja8XpplHcJLNChyeYolS7VkrntEPR_KTkSu54Ymmb13kQoOflsQ2tGS5CQcASYK5iFuC_IOQA93RJ4WIStXPzObrPQ3UdrodFqSDXemqunGz2loIOhU3tVP2RPQxLBzjvK5XllPdJMTMQJulER4iHwohKfZyuH0RSi/s320/66939.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>Above is Wilber. and below is Gus.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikoaEsmm0_rFUnFWR0Qc0U9tyri8PIVdJB9RVmwn2_k4EK0hbfEWHoAo3U3zFW7H6SYNgpSjM8GapwKJSS0nnhRdFk0jwn_0yl6pzCUli_L6AsoBYoiBy15XP78svGLtVaDYG3MQRdEn1JcwGd1O-3N-3UkQEdZwYXHW-SyKuceh3-jGlV4iIqEBgs/s960/66938.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikoaEsmm0_rFUnFWR0Qc0U9tyri8PIVdJB9RVmwn2_k4EK0hbfEWHoAo3U3zFW7H6SYNgpSjM8GapwKJSS0nnhRdFk0jwn_0yl6pzCUli_L6AsoBYoiBy15XP78svGLtVaDYG3MQRdEn1JcwGd1O-3N-3UkQEdZwYXHW-SyKuceh3-jGlV4iIqEBgs/s320/66938.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>They sure have grown.

For those of you that don't know, the sashing strip is the strip of fabric that sewn between the blocks to separate them. Sometimes you use them, but you don't have to. I chose this fabric simply because I did not have to worry about having enough of it. I have probably done cut two yards of it. The sashing pieces are 1 3/4 inches by 6 1/2 inches. And that is not enough to finish the quilt. I have been sewing some to the sides of the blocks but have not take a photo. </div><div><br /></div><div>************</div><div>Roger is not fully back to himself, but he is still better than he was there for so long.

Each one is 6 1/2 inches square. I will make a quilt top of them, but just not sure how I will sew them together. I wish I could stop making them but in times of stress, they are not precision based, can sew and then cut to fit. They give my mind a rest from everything else.</p><div style="text-align: left;">************</div><div style="text-align: left;">Roger is feeling better. I cannot say he is 100% better, but he is eating more normal, and looks so much better through his eyes. According to some of the numbers from the labwork, he now has stage 3 kidney disease. We see a dr. on Thursday. I am hoping he will repeat the labs because one other time the numbers were bad when he was feeling real bad. When he got to feeling better, we repeated the labs and the numbers were within the normal range. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I have had a cold...felt horrible for a while, but have come to the conclusion that I will live...LOL So far Roger has not showed signs of getting it. </div><div style="text-align: left;">***********</div><div style="text-align: left;">The video today is long...it is not funny or heartwarming. But I found it interesting. I showed it to Roger and he enjoyed it. I did not know chainsaws came with blades as long as the one used here for slicing the tree into thick boards. Whoever thought of doing things this way is a genius...but it does make me think of something Roger would have come up with. </div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Zqs1lnOYxw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-54184799900052328832022-09-12T14:17:00.004-04:002022-09-12T14:17:50.530-04:00Future Gymnast<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzdHnw30uAEv9DSkYBUocSMJVefuuKMUEfSW_lEOvm73Xi4nHaFIDEtyRgos7zoQQfCj5JbKb6tBCN1zM-5KQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /> I hope this plays...it is so quick if you blink twice you will miss it.

I could never decide how I wanted to use them. <div>**********</div><div>I am sorry not to be commenting more. It has been a stressful time. Roger is all over the place with how he is feeling, things that are happening. He was starting to come around to more what is normal now after the last episode when I called the ambulance. He went down in the basement and stood for an hour or two working on something when I was gone.</div><div><br /></div><div>It set off more strange things. So long and involved it will make your head spin. And the thing is sometimes it is like flipping a switch from on to off or off to on.. After the standing down in the basement, and his wrist started hurting, the second day after that he got up with his hand swollen. I took him to the emergency room. The doctor did not tell me what it was, but to another dr. he called it cellulitis. He put him on strong antibiotic.</div><div><br /></div><div>I kept him on them...his hand got better, but he is still not normal. But the antibiotic may have been too muc. We have been to NP and she is doing a repeat of some labs to compare to last time. I have not heard about them. But she said they gave him way too much of the antibiotic.</div><div><br /></div><div>He will feel absolutely terrible, may nap, and get up and be a lot more normal. But it is never two days in a row. And he may be what seems fine for a bit and turn around and there is just that terrible strained look in his eyes. He still teases some...not a lot. But more than he did with the last episode.</div><div><br /></div><div>I hate coming on here just to sing the blues...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-56948473216273096722022-09-04T10:34:00.001-04:002022-09-04T10:34:08.496-04:00'Fur' your viewing pleasure....<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNYqZtsFo5qnKJGEyEl3bIT1dB-mt1f97krewTCNB8Wm_GQ0VaeJepJH6D3qUMh55LQxdFXa2PAfq4s4F7cuDhQopeB-x7IxJ-b_QGY79393f9mcBBcJ7b0hIZwrjliUBUwuv6CIWs9tCSPeE6CNUyHYcTxWyMnP0ATW-ImOYe_gyHxUeZYcfuoof3/s722/65435.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNYqZtsFo5qnKJGEyEl3bIT1dB-mt1f97krewTCNB8Wm_GQ0VaeJepJH6D3qUMh55LQxdFXa2PAfq4s4F7cuDhQopeB-x7IxJ-b_QGY79393f9mcBBcJ7b0hIZwrjliUBUwuv6CIWs9tCSPeE6CNUyHYcTxWyMnP0ATW-ImOYe_gyHxUeZYcfuoof3/s1600/65435.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />Above, as you can see, Will has decided that he makes a nice centerpiece.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1uJ-jJwRu3jFs9PiaNksrKWApQoyMT9JxOom_JuKY9VPV0e_dTWPBil4-2MhA-1Ja1XlHHmpAXOuUF4SZOE7c8Fr2A2-vtMEvTGa5SkbdfW7K4etzTezHjVHSBfgWLv9E_cBVgP50t7VfHM62QN_yVmPO4cYd1fKezV3rw9kWkb5NOPqO3ZrXqquS/s960/65456-001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="639" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1uJ-jJwRu3jFs9PiaNksrKWApQoyMT9JxOom_JuKY9VPV0e_dTWPBil4-2MhA-1Ja1XlHHmpAXOuUF4SZOE7c8Fr2A2-vtMEvTGa5SkbdfW7K4etzTezHjVHSBfgWLv9E_cBVgP50t7VfHM62QN_yVmPO4cYd1fKezV3rw9kWkb5NOPqO3ZrXqquS/s1600/65456-001.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><p>The pups at their finest...notice that Will is a blur of motion...could not have captured it any better if you tried...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnXwLaCpGyU8sAMZFGZexCFoY3_h9Qb_95kc7gKQsupX5FT9MX1rNlzYm8zgBd0F3TRbBil0y7_f7PqIv7hDBB_S_ySL6wkKSFWflqFfjypyGGCM5JNJ1nYas_ZX3TxFNyybuwVuzT_pBJ-fBqj1LP2TUozL_FueRwe_KZMIa6KVz_de-ZEQWwJHc/s1200/65532.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="802" data-original-width="1200" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnnXwLaCpGyU8sAMZFGZexCFoY3_h9Qb_95kc7gKQsupX5FT9MX1rNlzYm8zgBd0F3TRbBil0y7_f7PqIv7hDBB_S_ySL6wkKSFWflqFfjypyGGCM5JNJ1nYas_ZX3TxFNyybuwVuzT_pBJ-fBqj1LP2TUozL_FueRwe_KZMIa6KVz_de-ZEQWwJHc/s1600/65532.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><br />Here they are resting with Jeremy. <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfBEAp_mfONzlPoKteHC5UPUMwjH40k8_UUy7aCBGGujWgt67x9YCLavrfBZDc5j66tYqlevAkDkhmeh-NL6KDuiT-X13Ujf85HBvJQK74VnAs-l9OXxprF5Xm4irxdG_tSIGS49yyYwHKSstE8eHtJv0hcr-R878MhIcENIVcZW_x00A3xge9WE7D/s718/65535.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="718" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfBEAp_mfONzlPoKteHC5UPUMwjH40k8_UUy7aCBGGujWgt67x9YCLavrfBZDc5j66tYqlevAkDkhmeh-NL6KDuiT-X13Ujf85HBvJQK74VnAs-l9OXxprF5Xm4irxdG_tSIGS49yyYwHKSstE8eHtJv0hcr-R878MhIcENIVcZW_x00A3xge9WE7D/s1600/65535.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><p>I don't think there are any pups anywhere that are luckier.

It did take a while. I will begin with Roger.</p><p>I am not sure what made his sugar get so low. Normally if he is sick, it is high. He did not feel like eating, did not joke around at all. His cardiologist/NP had increased two of his meds. The one was doubled, then doubled again. One for cholesterol. And the other was magnesium.</p><p>So I started playing with his insulin and oral meds for the diabetes, and got him to our NP in a few days. (I got him in as soon as I could but it was 4th of July weekend. They did call and talk to me...) She said I had done exactly right with the reduction in the oral medication and the insulin, and even reduced the insulin more. And when she saw the cholesterol meds, she was almost what you would call upset. Wanting to know why he was on so much. He is on two different pills. I told her it was from the cardiologists office. </p><p>She was going to have me eliminate one entirely, but I said how about cut back on the one. So she said fine. After doing that, in 24 hours he was some better. Still he was not himself. I gave it about 10 days or two weeks, and then cut it back to the original dose...that did the trick. He is back to joking and teasing and being hungry. </p><p><br /></p><p>********</p><p>I had MOH's surgery Friday...the first time showed no more cancer. Hopefully it will not show up in that spot again. This last time was just about exactly in the same place the first one was in years ago. I am so thankful to God that there was no more.</p><p>I have tried to get up the nerve to post a pic but it might gross you out...it is not a good pic but it sure is not fun to look at. You look at it and say OUCH! And maybe even 'ooooh, gross!'</p><div style="text-align: left;">***********</div><div style="text-align: left;">In the middle of this we had a major plumbing issue. It is too long to go into. Sarah came and got her day for a couple nights. We had the drain back up late one evening. I went to take the plug out of the sewage line to see if I could run the little snake and get anything to move.

I could call it quits here as far as the quilt top is concerned, but I want to add rows of the 'strips' all around the edge. I have a couple rows made, and others started for the ends. It is just a matter of making myself take time to go in there, even if I take a time to remind myself I have to go or do something else in a few minutes.<p></p><div>One of my daughter's childhood friend's grandmother passed away last week while our daughter was in Florida. I just happened to see it. Then after daughter got home, I got on line to get the link to the obituary to send her, and this same girl's dad had died. He died the day before the service for the grandmother. Our daughter spent so much time at their house, and their daughter was in and out here. Anyway, Sarah ran home this morn to at least go to the visitation. And Roger wanted to go, because he and the dad really got along good.</div><div><br /></div><div>He said he could walk in, but if it had been 10 more yards, I don't think he would have made it. I was hanging on to his arm, or I feel sure he would have fell at least one time.</div><div><br /></div><div>He is not feeling good right now...nothing I can really put my finger on. He went to bed half an hour/45 minutes earlier than normal. We were up and gone to the visitation at 9:00....so maybe it was just the long day today. But he really has not been himself the past few days.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am still waiting on the results of the biopsy...</div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-37249541046524776382022-06-20T16:16:00.001-04:002022-06-20T16:16:57.349-04:00Will I ever finish it???<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P_7qBMhV5r2yqk6H66IuTTxdsheRfC98wS1eHjvyKPhqZfN91G8rozrkX_3pRGWy9Ipu2ihvD9C9Xy_E2crEFSrrkwqpaMWH-sULjV8Xp9qElH2KqFq8huP2Q4LgZ5cVwvQ0Zjg8N6HJvPetYGJTZHsXjWmbG7p0hhjM2SAWS9f8tmj7oAOujn1K/s1600/20220616_150101%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="778" data-original-width="1600" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_P_7qBMhV5r2yqk6H66IuTTxdsheRfC98wS1eHjvyKPhqZfN91G8rozrkX_3pRGWy9Ipu2ihvD9C9Xy_E2crEFSrrkwqpaMWH-sULjV8Xp9qElH2KqFq8huP2Q4LgZ5cVwvQ0Zjg8N6HJvPetYGJTZHsXjWmbG7p0hhjM2SAWS9f8tmj7oAOujn1K/s1600/20220616_150101%20(1).jpg" width="576" /></a></div><br /> I worked on this a couple or three days last week, and want to work more on it. Last week, the AC slowed me down. We will see about this week. I have not decided quite how I feel about it. It is sort of wild, but I am just using scraps. For the most part. I bought the gray snowflake fabric to use to set the blocks on poing, and I bought the red fabric to put a strip between the rows. To give it some consistency. I have four of the rows of blocks on point and will have five of the others.<div>..........</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4xLKZ8U9__IW--MvoiQxbdAycEAxMwJsLZD2wjlHKRROE5AShlmOXjf7JncmTW6uuJFnHpmrocCQx4pJMquA_PfiGbont1_G5sYjuhNK-GlmLJXJn1GEqmbzlLLeLV_YblVEpXdkEUdvT6j07TUC6v-g9zy6uVTavYELpI8NEK-HOwFJa7QgWuSE/s1200/DSC00853.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="801" data-original-width="1200" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf4xLKZ8U9__IW--MvoiQxbdAycEAxMwJsLZD2wjlHKRROE5AShlmOXjf7JncmTW6uuJFnHpmrocCQx4pJMquA_PfiGbont1_G5sYjuhNK-GlmLJXJn1GEqmbzlLLeLV_YblVEpXdkEUdvT6j07TUC6v-g9zy6uVTavYELpI8NEK-HOwFJa7QgWuSE/s1600/DSC00853.JPG" width="576" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Thought I would share a new photo of a dragonfly. Saturday was the first chance I had had to try to capture any. I know some of you do not look at my other blog so will share one here. This seemed to be the only kind at the swamp at that time. Usually we see a couple more varieties.<div>**********************</div><div><br /></div><div>I had a dermatologist appt today...had three places I was worried about. One of them she did not think was anything to be worried about, but in looking at my main concern, she saw two more place close to it. One she was not concerned with , the other she was a bit concerned. Said she would freeze it off for now and see how it does. She also froze the other two that was close to it. The one I was concerned about I could feel...not something I look in the mirror and see.</div><div><br /></div><div>So she looked my face over good, and looked at the other two places. One she was not worried about, but the other she took a biopsy so will have to wait to see what it says. It is maybe an inch below my eye. If it is cancer, she is going to recommend another MOHS surgery...I am not sure how I feel about it. I don't know if it is the shot to numb or what, but my eye went all weird for a few minutes as I was leaving. I could see out of it but it was blurry. And just felt so very strange. It is hard to explain. </div><div><br /></div><div>So now I wait...just deal with it as it comes. See what I can do in the meantime. I have tons to do. Just a matter of doing them. I have lots of stuff to sew. I should go sew some now.</div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-5156390809256229642022-06-16T10:34:00.000-04:002022-06-16T10:34:46.546-04:00We have Air!<p> The repairman came back yesterday evening late. He checked the pressure and said he might could put a little bit more freon in. He said you have to be careful because if you put too much in it, it harms the unit. But first he decided to go down and look at things in the basement. He pulled out the filter and looked. It did not look bad, but decided to change it anyway. (Our filters are those big thick ones--you only change them every three months)</p><p>He gave it a moment and went back outside to check the pressure and it had come up 10 degrees. I could feel a difference in the air coming out. So he said he would leave it and see how it did and if I needed call him back this morn. It ran and ran last night, and never stopped cooling. Finally around midnight it kicked off. And got up this morn to the normal temperature we keep it. </p><p>I wanted to wait till this morning to do an update to be sure it was still working.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will leave this video:</p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PrJi-P61aLY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-60498850199721253752022-06-15T16:50:00.002-04:002022-06-15T16:53:46.539-04:00Update<p> I did do a post last night, thinking that the AC was really beginning to cool things out...it had not been posted very long at all till I realized that the AC had stopped putting out really cool air. It will cool a while, then stop putting out much cool air at all. Then I turn the AC off and run the fan an hour, turn the AC on and it will put out pretty cool air for a while.

It stopped last night. Was cooling fine till some time in the late evening. After the heating and AC place had closed, of course. I was in and out doing a few things outside, or attempting to do so and it had been cooling fine all day. <p></p><div>Then late yesterday evening, I noticed it was not cooling. so have ran the fan all night long to circulate the air. And Roger has the ceiling fan on in his room. It is supposed to reach 100º F today. And the humidity is terrible. I have called the AC place and have been waiting on a call back. The answering service answered earlier and said someone should contact me in half an hour...or to call again. I have been calling and getting no answer.</div><div><br /></div><div>Roger is okay right at this present moment, but am not sure what to do. Thinking about getting a hotel room, but I think he will fuss about that if I do. And even that will be hard cause there is not one here close...so will just wait and see for now.</div>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162042727452052782.post-85215479372088088202022-06-13T09:05:00.001-04:002022-06-13T09:06:47.278-04:00bits<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh61w0HZLXdiEjqnpiDoQMC7YG5eEXLz2klWzt5lzrvkc3bgtGouNbmE2XUkVtaxLle5GrFF4YyP9S2z9F1nekRIH08RfHszpQf8fdLPZpkLKfqojD6jCVOsexSzsg6WfNukS6qICqHr5wbAF84QuIcPP9UkKTHnhwDc3yjOpVTzigf5IMToNK1ZzSX/s1200/DSC00800.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh61w0HZLXdiEjqnpiDoQMC7YG5eEXLz2klWzt5lzrvkc3bgtGouNbmE2XUkVtaxLle5GrFF4YyP9S2z9F1nekRIH08RfHszpQf8fdLPZpkLKfqojD6jCVOsexSzsg6WfNukS6qICqHr5wbAF84QuIcPP9UkKTHnhwDc3yjOpVTzigf5IMToNK1ZzSX/s1600/DSC00800.JPG" width="576" /></a></div><br /> I swung through the strip mining area, and came out a back way and saw this chicken.

It may be one of those things you had to be there to appreciate.<p></p><p><br /></p><p>We were heading out this morn, only to find a ruckus in the neighborhood. Three squirrels were chasing each other...I first thought it was the babies. And I still think one of them might have been one of Sweet Pea's. But they were out in the street going in big circles. When I saw the grown one I thought it was her, and say Hey! ....and I have no idea what I call her but I use this baby talk voice. I have no idea why I revert to that. </p><p>I thought it was coming but I thought it looked a bit big for her. about that time it took off and then I thought I saw her zooming by. I yelled again, and waited...in just a second here she came running about as fast as she could run. I usually carry some walnuts/pecans in a plastic bag in my pocket. Roger was already out and headed down the steps. He just sat down on the edge of the porch and I sat at the picnic table and she was up beside me in a split second. She was eating in my lap. When I am about out of nuts, I always empty the last few onto the bench. </p><p>She was gobbling them down....and the one squirrel came back to the edge of our yard and she kept eating but kept barking at him while she was eating. She stopped before she was done and took off after it/him. I could not get to see good but I am pretty sure it was a him. I am assuming courtship, though at first I wondered was she trying to keep him away from her young ones...they are getting up in size now. </p>Rosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.com17
