Michele: My mom loved jigsaw puzzles, too. She had a puzzle out on her kitchen table nearly all the time. :flowerforyou:
Tracey: We have a house telephone set that has phones in several rooms. We put them in for our data service, and they seem to attract MANY nuisance calls. :grumble: Our personal phones are iphones. We can block unwanted callers on them if necessary.
Allie: Our sweet old dog has his bed on the floor beside my side of the bed. He is not welcome in the bed. :noway: Long years ago we had a wonderful kitty who loved to crawl under the covers. I still miss her.
(((Machka))): Prayers for your DH and for you.

one of our cats loves to get under the covers too- it is fine until he decides to play and bite my toes. I love one of the others that curls up against me. She gets as close as she can(and she is a super fluffy snuggle bug).

Deb--Glad they were able to take care of your eye while you were there. I know if I have to think about something like that it is best to just get it over with. I pray you feel better soon.
Beth--Sounds like you did great at church and I also believe your son was watching and so proud.
Machka--Glad DH is doing better and pray the meds do what they need to. I hope you get a chance to relax this week and just breath.
We had a very nice weekend and ended up taking 2 of our DGD's. Motel messed up on our room, instead of one room 2 beds, we got 2 rooms with one bed each right next door to each other. Girls were so thrilled to have their own room. They are 12 and 13. They did really well and better than grandma. We were outside a lot and it was fun to be around people doing something normal. We got home just after noon yesterday.
Got a call my uncle passed away Friday morning. This is my mom's older brother. All that is left is a younger brother and then all Aunts and Uncle's from mom's side will be gone. The funeral is tomorrow so DH and I will leave early in the morning to be at the church in time for the service.
Well I took a fall last evening. I was taking some dishes to the kitchen and had my hands full. Tripped on a rubber mat and fell face first. So glad I did not break anything, have some sore spots and black eye and burises. The mat is gone and now just look like I have been in a fight.
Take care. Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE8 -
Kate UK: Your azalea is beautifu!!! :flowerforyou:
Machka: I hope that the statins and beta blockers are successful at helping your DH.
Heather: I am thrilled that I’ll get to spend time with my daughter. Her children’s other grandparents are bringing them to Oregon in an RV. It will be fun to see them, too.
I’m getting ready to head to the pharmacy to buy vitamins. My stock pile at home has dwindled & I need to replenish them.

Got home this morning from a weekend with mom- It was nice to see her but didn't really spend any time just with her. She was busy- we did food program Saturday morning then she had a retirement party to go to(I met my best friend while she did that- I was only out an hour and a half, she was out 4 hrs), she had church on Sunday morning, I stayed at the house and did some work in the green house for her- transplanting. She didn't get home until 2 and we had to leave at 4 to go to my Aunts. Plus, my younger sister was there the whole time again- she was only supposed to be there Friday night- mom wasn't thrilled but didn't want to tell her to go home(but she was ready to). We were at my aunts until 9 last night so we got back to the house and locked the chickens/outside chores and looked at some old pictures I had pulled out(some GREAT ones) but she was tired and went to bed. Got up early this morning, got my stuff together and headed home. Maybe next time we will have more time together, well, not the very next time- that will be the day of my dad's service- not sure if I will go up for the weekend or just the day- not sure how many people will be spending the night at her house. Playing that by ear.
She did appreciate me coming up and helping, that is what is important.
Got over 14000 steps on Saturday (between Food Bank/Food program and working in the green house) so treated myself to chai latte when I met my best friend. Only had a tuna sandwich for lunch and then some more of the tuna with chips- that was it for the day.
One of the chores was getting the eggs each evening- Check out these pictures.

Debbie: I've never seen an egg as big as the one in your hand. Amazing. What kind of chick will come out when it hatches?0

My husband had a successful angiography today which revealed that his left coronary arteries in his heart are narrowing (Atherosclerosis). At this point the specialist has decided to go the medication route rather than installing a stent. So he will be on statins, beta-blockers, aspirin and something else to reduce clotting.
He will have to rest for the next week, then start gradually increasing exercise, but for a while, the specialist does not want his HR above 120 bpm.
He will have a number of follow-up appointments with the specialist and also with his GP to monitor his vital stats and also how he is reacting to the medications.
In fact, medications is one of the reasons why he is staying in the hospital tonight. They want to be sure he doesn’t have some odd reaction.
And the specialist said that he did not have any significant damage to his heart muscle. So it was a minor heart attack which occurred while we were cycling, toward the end of the ride we did on Saturday. The specialist has encouraged him to cycle again, but s-l-o-w-l-y.
If all goes well, he’ll come home tomorrow (Tuesday) and then I am planning to stay home for the rest of the week with him to make sure that his medication is OK, that he doesn’t get too active, etc.
Meanwhile, I've cleaned some of the bathroom, washed and hung the towels, cleaned the washing machine and will start the dishwasher soon.
I also ran 4 km in 36 minutes on my treadmill.

Thanks for the update- I was skimming through this weekends posts to see how he was doing.

Debbie: I've never seen an egg as big as the one in your hand. Amazing. What kind of chick will come out when it hatches?
not going to hatch it- most likely it is a double, possible triple yolk. If we did try to hatch it, it would be twins I guess. Don't know if they would survive though.
I do have small hands but that thing was big- like a duck egg(not possible, no ducks around and they are always fenced in so no critters can get in.
Picked these artichokes right before driving home- 6 min in the pressure cooker- had one for lunch- nothing on it- so yummy. I will have another one in a little while.

The artichokes look wonderful! They were a special treat for my mom and me when I was growing up. We dipped them in mayonnaise. YUM!1 -

Once in a while I will make some garlic butter to dip them in but usually just eat them plain.
Friday night mom and I had fresh artichokes, asparagus and new potatoes from her garden for our dinner. It was so good.1 -

Just got to buelton ca Flying flags. on our 3rd trip with “Bette “. I made some small adjustments so I could keep the counter top as free as possible. We put a shelf by the counter to store the iPads, put one inside one of the doors, put a shoe / clothes rack on the door for easy access. It’s harder to be creative in a smaller camper and we attached a mirror inside a door.

Machka-glad they can take a less aggressive approach with your husband. Mine was on them for a number of years. The first one he was on (I believe it was Zocor) did not agree with his system. For some reason, it made him smell! Like a towel he used after a shower would smell mildewed, and he develop a distinctive aroma (gross I know). I only mention it because some medications don't agree with some people-they switched brands and no more smell issues!
Vicki-glad your fall was not worse.
Allie-sorry your kidney news was not what you hoped. Will they try putting you on transplant list?
Pip-Yogi is indeed cool!
Had a productive day. Ended up having to deal with a few work issues via telephone so was not a complete vacation day, but got some odds and ends done that I have been avoiding.
Off to get ready for tomorrow-have to be at the office a bit before 7:30 am for a zoom meeting.
Take care all,
