A Bit of Rain
A bit of rain, but not enough to wash off the front deck that has many layers of dust.
With good faith effort the lights went on in the studio. KNUJ was just picking up the church service from Grace Lutheran in Gaylord. I had my material measured and trimmed. The iron was warming to take out the wrinkles from being in the stashes. My sharpest stick pins were at my right elbow. The first hem was folded and pinned. The sewing machine hummed, ready for action.
The back door opened . . . my good faith effort blew right out that back door as company stepped in. Dennis’ niece Jean Pew from Morris came a-calling. Jean does her road trip at least twice a year. Jean had been here over Memorial weekend. I shut down multiple lights and switches in the studio and the three of us settled around the dining-room for a good visit. Jean’s mom had been Dennis’ older sister. Now . . . Dennis is the last of “when there were four” in Edith’s family.
Jean left after we had a bite of lunch. When she left, so did my enthusiasm for anything to be started back up again in the studio. All has not been lost. The bare window curtain has had its fabric laid out with the plan begun, if only by a dozen stick pins. Hey . . . it’s a start.
I decided to do some hand stitching while keeping an eye out on the traffic. Grain semis are still hauling in. I doubt that our small shower of rain has way-laid anyone that was out in the fields.
I have an oven meal in progress. A very lean pork steak with seasonings rubbed in and a slather of ketchup on top. I have some potatoes to use up. Frozen carrots and cranberries will round out the fair.
Tomorrow Dennis will be getting his flue shot at the VA clinic here in town. I pass on the flu shots.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
