The Last Day of 2020

 Well it’s a rainy day that’ll end this difficult year for all of us. Tonight it’s chicken, pot pie and ice cream for dessert. In the morning I will make crepes to start off the new year. I have a delivery coming with groceries from Walmart. This is my first delivery of groceries. The next thing is to arrange prescription deliveries from CVS......

Tuesday 29th Dec20

 Today is another beautiful day. Dinner tonight sounds like pork stir fry, tea, and ice cream. Need to attend to my trashv

Monday. After

  Looks like it’s going to be a good day, the sunrise this morning was spectacular. Still the morning was real cold. A relative of a friend had hackers break into their finances on the computer, over the holidays a quick stop order held the damage down.                                    Tonight I’m going to combine the pot roast with peppers and onions over rice.

Day after Christmas

     Well we survived another Christmas. The kids called and provided a real treat for us. It’s always a treat to hear from them this year more then before. Mom was always asking did you talk to anybody? My day was pretty uneventful which was ok with me. Dinner went well with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.  Dessert was a slab of fudge swirl ice cream. 

Christmas Morning 2020

 I’m thankful that today just seems like another day. Seems like yesterday my brother was wacking me in the head with a toy truck. Guess it’s best for me to celebrate the day because I can. Recently talked with my cousin Delores and she spun my Rolodex memory way back. 

Christmas Eve at 867 Millcroft

It's been raining for hours here, there's a possibility of some seriously dangerous weather. Got to the bank and to Harris Teeter. Tonight we'll have a nice steak  shrimp cocktail and a nice banana cream pie. The temperature outside is around 63 degrees , the original plan was for the traditional fire in the fire place. We'll just skip that part of the plan.     I'll try to capture our decor with the ipad.

Thursday AM

 Waiting for INR test. It’s thirty six degrees out here. Can’t open the Wyze app may need to reboot phone.

 Rain in AM got some plugs onto phone control. Discovered the joys of Rigatoni pasta nice and big easy to eat. 

Saturday is here. 12Dec20

 It’s a beautiful day today sun out temps are in 49’s. All in all it’s wonderful start. Pot roast is on the menu for tonight. Instant pot will make fast work of dinner. Tar Heels play Miami at 3:30 today. Must remember to call my friend at 8:00.......Heels win big 

Sunday 6th Dec

This day began quietly and early. On a birthday its been a tradition here to have crepes for breakfast, Birthdays and Valentine's day demand crepes. So I got up at 5:55 easy to remember. Jane ate the Lioness' share if Liz was here they would have been gone re   ally quickly. So I did get to .have some for myself. The birthday was my 86th by the grace of God is said often, this could be a pretty good demonstration of that. Later I got a birthday greetings from old  friends and the kids. Well its wonderful to be here.

      

Friday, 4 December 2020

 Things are going well here. Last night we ate a chicken pot pie from Kay Little’s kitchen. It was delicious. Cool morning day. Gets up to 60

Tuesday gets colder than usual.

 Today was a really cool day the sun was shining brightly all day. Even though the cold can be uncomfortable the air is usually Chrystal clear. Got some shopping done needed some treats and more juice. Yesterday Jane’s physical therapist Melissa spent an hour working on Jane’s shoulder mobility. It’s improved considerably over the last few weeks. The occupational therapist is due Thursday. I did get an unexpected Birthday present of a box of Godiva chocolates, I had the CRV inspected today they came got the car inspected it and changed the oil and returned the vehicle.

Sunday

 Sunday is usually the day I get a Harris Teeter chicken. This will get to serve two meals today and Tuesday. Quiet day today. Tomorrow therapist is scheduled for around 2:00. 

Saturday, 28 Nov '20

 Today was pretty normal. Jane's physical therapist worked with her loosening up her left shoulder. Bringing her arms straight out and back to a self hug position and reaching over her head holding a pole in both hands and back down to her waist.  Left arms range of movement still inhibited.

Later that evening I was able to talk to my friend from  long ago. Pleasant memories from 1959......before email or facebook.

This day worked out well. Our neighbors brought dinners over For Jane and I. I had a turkey breast ready to cook but no need. WE talked to the kids via Facetime. Several other phone calls completed the day.

Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day

The sun is up , its 40 degrees looks like the start of a great day....Tonight I may hear from my friend. I hope she can find her way to this blog. We'll see if that happens. Some how I lost Tuesdays entry. I think I lost it while using my phone to make a post and inadvertently sent it off to cyberspace.  I plan to do a turkey breast tomorrow, it says from freezer to oven in the bag it came in. Kids say they'll call tomorrow, as much as I miss them I'm glad they're playing it safe and staying healthy. We'll finish the Costco Sausage Casserole tonight.

Re -evaluation for Jane's recovery

 Today Jane was re-evaluated as to lher progress in recovery. Wim, her physical therapist checked her vital signs and ran her thru getting out of bed , walking and stuff like that. Tonight its going to be the COSTCO sausage and pasta casserole iced tea and dessert for dinner. Jane slept a lot today sort of tired from going through her paces with her therapist.

Rainbow in hand

This shows up in the kitchen every sunny morning. It reminds me of staying at my grand mother's place in Plains Pennsylvania. I always wanted to fill a window with prisms so the room would be filled with rainbows.

Trying to navigate and add movie clip to the blog

I have a movie clip on micro card that I want to insert into the blog. This is a clip of C.G.Jung talking about falling in love at first sight. This is a wonderful explanation of the magic of this attraction. He said there is this archetype of a woman, When you see this woman or a good imitation of her, you have a seizure. There is nothing you can do...you are like clay in her fingers.Its true it, it happened to me!
