Look!


This is Sarah, along with Otto aka Otti when he was a young boy...in April of 2008.


And here he is as an old man...still loving...never grumpy...I wish I were like him.


And this is little Rosie...she thinks she is the boss and Otti just lets her.

These were not what I had planned to talk about, but for the life of me I can't remember what I had wanted to write about last night, and the night just slipped away and I thought I would do it today.  Well, it is almost tomorrow and I just can't recall.  So thought I would share these.

I may slow to visit tomorrow, but I will eventually get to it...hope you have a good rest of the week.

Smile!


Lorelei, along with a friend helped Sarah babysit a little one for a friend of theirs...can you see the joy on Lorelei's face?  (Don't you like my artwork in hiding the face?)

Roger is pretty much back to normal...or what passes for normal for us any more.     It is a real relief to have him want something to eat.

Bubbie sleeps like this quite often...would you believe he is almost 12 years old.  and was the runt of the litter?  He is just the lovingest boy.  A happy cat.

Is anyone else watching/or have you watched this season of Call The Midwife?   It is wonderful as always. 

How about Mrs. Wilson?  Have you seen either season of it?  I watched the 2018 season I think, but didn't recall it being based on real people.  I highly recommend it. 


My hyacinths are in full bloom...the trillium is about 6 inches tall but no blooms yet.  But I don't think it will be long.  And the blue bells have buds but no blooms....

Hope you all have a good week ahead...

Enchiladas, Roger.....


I made these yesterday afternoon...it is the recipe for enchiladas off the back of the enchilada sauces can...Old El Paso is the brand I use.  I don't fix them very often and I don't know why.  They are easy to do, and they heat up nicely in the microwave.  Some foods I don't like to re-heat in the microwave, but I like these just as good from the microwave as when they come out of the oven.  I always add more cheese than the recipe calls for.  And to really enjoy them, I need chopped tomatoes.
***********
Roger has had 3 or 4 days of just not being himself.  He was good when the kids were here last Saturday, but starting Sunday he just was not himself.  He would eat breakfast, and then hardly another bite the rest of the day on Sun and Monday...and just wanted to sleep.  It is hard for him to explain how he feels since his stroke.  Tuesday evening he had a couple strips of bacon and a slice of toast.  Yesterday evening, he had half of one of the above enchiladas...and he enjoyed it.  Up until that, it was almost as if he had to make himself eat every bite.  And he stayed up till his normal bedtime...about 10:30-10:45.


Needless to say, I am glad to see him getting back to what is normal for him.  That stroke really did a number on him.  And when he has those off days, it is hard for me to do anything.
**********
I have been sewing a little bit in minutes here and there.  I have sewed 6 rows of my string blocks together.  I have at least 4 more rows to sew together.  10 blocks are in each row.  I thought I would have to sew more string blocks to have enough but if I counted correctly, I will have a few lefter over.  LOL

That is all for now...think I am going to sew a few more blocks together, and maybe do a load or two of laundry.  I hope you are having a good week.
