Distraction

 Embarrassed to admit that I am destroying my own health and losing teeth because of inability to deal with a crisis.  A Nutter Butter actually stuck when biting it and tore tissue, so a guard is not ideal.

Almost impossible to think of anything else, each day brings a new challenge.  Even though a minor diversion, this offer doesn't involve medical, money, government, complications, and gives me something else to focus on even briefly.  I love Erica Michaels berry series but after reading this chart, I do not want to do any over one.  I have learned with your help, but planned to do this project on a high count which may be difficult with my eyesight.  So if you would like this chart, please leave a comment, or email samplersandsantas@gmail.com 

The over one is just the wording on the sides, not the main design.  The smaller berry on the right is the silk version, a little different than the linen.   This design was offered in two packs, one in linen (this offer) and the other in silk with the gauze included.  But the webpage states that both linen and silk charts are now included in one pack, silk gauze is not included.  This is just the linen version.

I've mentioned previously about the mass of clothing that hasn't fit in years.  When we had a Kaufmann's here and I raided the 80% off + extra 20% racks, I  assumed they would fit the following year, now decade.  Jean jackets, Docker pants, tons of items most still with tags are finally going to a charity.  Mark golfed with a man who along with his wife, do yearly missionary trips with money made at their thrift shop.  So that feels good. Prior years the battered shelter received my furniture, household items, clothing, but messages left at their office for several years were never returned.

Carole is coming back to the same facility today until a opening at the preferred.  She cannot sit, the leg must be elevated, and in addition to the blanket I ordered ten longer robe/lounger/duster.  It's been a month, still no notice of returns arriving so no credit on my card.  Once "shipping agents" pick up the packages from my post office, tracking is useless.  They can't even tell me who the agent is.  Over $400 and no way to track the returns, I will NEVER use their return labels again.  

The veggie plants from one greenhouse are loaded with aphids, so I dunked in Dawn water and also sprayed tops.  The petunia did not take it well, and the flowers were destroyed.  We went back to a few yesterday looking for foliage to add, and I found this.  The color is very close to the Vista Paradise and I love love love it. Only one, dammit.  One thing I noticed different from the other Vistas, is the Paradise has very thick and rigid stems.  I can't see how they will hang but since mine will be in barrels, doesn't matter.  Not sure when the sewer project excavating will rip it all out.

So enjoy your day folks.  Remember to leave a comment if interested in Eden Berry (or email).  Oh.  When will a name be chosen......how the hell do I know when I'm not sure what day is today.

Thursday at 8 pm sounds good.

Thank you again for prayers and wishes.  Greatly appreciated.
