Man, what a week. I was already exhausted from intense data entry all
week & then Dad’s wife Sue fell down the basement stairs on Friday. Fortunately,
she “only” has a cracked rib, a knot on her head, and a bunch of bruises. Unfortunately,
she now has extreme vertigo, so they’re keeping her in the hospital until they
sort that out.

Look Ma – I ate a vegetable! It was pretty darned tasty.

I was trying to get a good photo of this “cage” I used to wear in my hair sometimes, and while this isn’t fabulous (also, I can’t really “do” my hair right now), I thought the photo in photo effect was pretty cool.
There were bees ALL OVER the bee balm (I mean, what are the odds?). Also, there were chickens. Happy sigh.
Stanley Cup souvenir. I’d never held a hockey puck before. Interesting!
Summer staples right now – cucumber tomato salad and blueberries! Not eaten together. Although maybe I should try. Hmmm…
I’ve reached the point in my life where I’ve decided that I don’t care about how my arms look in public. However, I actually didn’t spend very much time sleeveless – it was cold in the office! I was especially glad that I had a blouse with sleeves to throw on while I was at the hospital waiting while Sue was in the ER.
I wore one of my sermon shirts to the office (I got 5 hours of good work done!) and to the hospital, where I had to get a photo of my terribly cute father.
Today was a repeat of yesterday, but I spent less time at each place. I got home around 3:30 today and have had a lovely afternoon at home. However, I just now realized that I still have clothes in the dryer. Oops – better go take care of that! Feel free to talk amongst yourselves.
I used to wear a ton of those little updo hair thingies when I was a kid. I had VERY long and thick hair, and summertime demanded it.
ReplyDeletePoor Sue! Rib injuries are so tough.
And I love to see freerange chickens!
I love to see them too!
DeleteI love your "Be Kind" shirt. I'm glad Sue wasn't hurt more seriously in that fall -- that sounds scary!
ReplyDeleteIt really was scary - I'm amazed that she is as unscathed as she is.
DeleteA friend and I were talking last night about our need to include more veggies in our diets. That salad shows what can be done beyond plain steamed broccoli!
ReplyDeleteThat blue and white top is gorgeous. It reminds me of some of the patterns on the blue and white chamber set pieces I have; that particular blue and white is one of my favorite combinations.
I'm so glad Sue wasn't more badly hurt, although I've heard ribs can take a while to heal, even if they're "just" cracked. Thank goodness she didn't have other broken bones. I hope that vertigo is gone by now, too!
She seems to be doing MUCH better today. And I looked at that salad again just now & think I should be having another one for dinner - I'm once again vegetable-deprived Ha!
DeleteYeah you mentioned bees on the bee balm. I've actually noticed very few bees on ours this year. And no butterflies, there was one year those bad boys were all over my wife's garden.
ReplyDeleteWe had a new subdivision go up on what was wooded land right next our neighborhood since last year. I feel the two are heavily connected.
I agree - unless those folks in the new subdivision are planting butterfly & bee friendly plants, then that is definitely affecting the ones that you see.
