Hello Sunday
This scattered winter has moved right on into March 1st.
Though nothing earth shattering occurred this winter, I feel as if the time has gone swiftly. When I look about there have been quite a few finished stitched items hanging about. They have been completed by one “x” at a time.
Dennis brought up the idea of us going back to The Furniture Mart in Sleepy Eye for a new chair for me. I have him on pause with that. Dennis’ Lazy Boy recliner . . . I cannot sit in, as I cannot get myself up and out of it independently. Secondly, the head rest is puffy enough that it tilts my neck forward just enough to cause a headache.
There are two items my chair must insure: I can get out of it and having the neck support. In thinking, the chair need not be a recliner. A soft chair with a high enough padded back that I could lean my head back and have it fit my neck. That spurred on an experiment. My teak rocker’s seat is the perfect height for me to sit down on and get up from. Truth to tell, I didn’t sit in it for any length of time as a headache took over. I dug out two of those support bands that medical people use to stabilize patients. Dennis worked the buckles while I held a stuffed small pillow in the area of a head rest. Trial and error we got the fit right . . . for now. As I use the rocker with the captured pillow, time will tell.
Calvin called this afternoon. Nothing exciting for either of us to report, just a good old catching up. Eric, now a widower, left for a job trip down to the southern states. I know his job has something to do with hard metal detection and he travels a lot.
We are doing Manwich’s and beans for supper. I browned the hamburger, added the can of sauce and put the kettle in the oven at 250. It is a way for flavors to really get co-mingled without scorching the kettle as it would on the stovetop. The gas flame doesn’t like such a low setting.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
