My favorite picture of you know who on the journey.

Green with more ...

Yum,yum the second

My one and only "Yum, yum" blog brought in six comments.  I am not making cranberry scones today but I am making chicken soup and intend to add dumplings to the soup and that should add up to a "Yum,yum" dinner.
And I plan to make something quite yum, yummy for the big event on Moody Ridge Saturday - as yet I have not come up with the perfect recipe for whatever.  (If whatever it is does not qualify I will make sure that no one identifies my humble offering.)

Yum, yum!

During the absolutely wonderful journey with Rich I had cranberry scones for breakfast the three mornings we were in Bishop.  So, I decided that I too could make cranberry scones and got up this morning and did it!  So, after getting comfortable with my coffee and nice hot cranberry scones I called Rich to see if he could guess what I was eating for breakfast - he couldn't!  It does seem that my enchantment with the cranberry scones in Bishop did not make a lasting impression on him - unbelievable - right?

My head is hanging low - very low!

So off I went yesterday morning for my 11:00 Tai Chi class.  Whoops, the beginners class was at ten!  So I went to the registration desk to determine what to do and am now a Mon/Wed ten in the morning beginner.  My Chernobyl class starts at 1:30 PM and I decided to wait and sort of wandered hither and yon and sat and stared into space etc. wishing the time would fly faster.  At some point I decided to figure out my confusion re TaiChi and while at it I checked out Chernobyl.  Another whoops - it is only held on two Weds. and those are June 22nd and 29th.  Another prime example of "Gramcie's Brilliant FOOLISHNESS" - I do manage to live up to my reputation. (Actually, Greg, you can always blame me for filing the wrong final day in your noggin - what a great inheritance!")   

Nutz!

Best laid plans - ugh!  It looks like summer will be over (or nearly over) before I will be in real training to be a hospital volunteer.  In three weeks there will be a second meeting for the potential volunteers who were there yesterday.  If I am approved at that point I have to have a TB test - two weeks later I go back to have that one looked at and then have a second TB test and wait another two weeks.  I think that if I am found TBless that I can then begin training which would take up to four weeks - who knows what else lurks in the hospital woodwork.  It is an amazing place - easy to get lost(as I did, yesterday) as there are so many buildings. 
So, I should get busy and seek other possibilities.  Tomorrow I will hopefully start TaiChi and my Chernobyl classess - that will be good, I think!

Oh Happy Day

Rafael Nadal won the French Open - I started suffering at six this morning!  That is tennis, by the way!

Other news - hmmmmm - well, I am going to the grocery store today.  Tomorrow I start the process of becoming a volunteer at The Roseville Hospital - it is one of several that are in the group that Rich's hospital is also in.  I should start Tai Chi tomorrow also, but, I may not depart from the hospital soon enough to get to that class.

Terry's snake has survived a great deal of sort of tender love - it went to school three days. 

And so it goes - other than I look forward to non-rain days.
