Fay Wray's Wednesday @ TDD - C&C

[L.Ann]

The Amish market is open year round, Trissie. I wanted a cabbage and I knew they had them. They still only have a few veggies but they sell baked goods, eggs, honey, oysters, and home made things. They also are selling plants both veggies and flowers.

Good afternoon!
Way too many posts to catch up on all the goings on but I’m happy to see you found this spot, kitkat! I do hope others feel an urge to check in and see the new location before the old one shuts down permanently.
Thanks for the start, trissie, I did see King Kong but not sure if I’ve seen Wray in anything else.
Kittykatt, I can’t imagine scraping paint off of miniature furniture. You have true dedication.
LAnn, I haven’t eaten today and you’re making me so hungry. Our local market closed and now I have to drive a distance for fresh and local foods.
Hi Peaches!
Helia, I hope you get more sleep tonight. When dmom gets settled in I hope you two can simply be together to soak in the moment.
Laurlind, I love the Samoyed breed. We have owned keeshonds and spitz, all in the same family.
Gma, sounds delicious.
I haven’t seen Smile posting lately… I just got The Artist’s Way and thought about her. Hope all is well.

I have piddled my day away so am making a list to touch every room and work outside some. It’s so easy to go off track with no schedule or interruptions.

I love markets LAnn
Hi Peaches
Bama- good to see you!
Samoyeds are gorgeous, Lauralind - a lot of grooming... how old?

Got back from grocery shopping
Having a cup of coffee
Then back to laundry

[Lauralind]

They are beautiful. All of them. I'm a naive first time dog owner who has met her match trying to train him. He's strong. Lol and stubborn. But big teddy bear.

Done cleaning just waiting for dad to get back from town. He went for groceries while I am here. Except I would like to get going. Going for lunch with a friend soon as I get back to town.

[L.Ann]

We have a lot of markets, Bama. Some open all year and some that will reopen soon and stay open until Thanksgiving. DD38 is bringing a handyman by to talk about the new door so we are waiting for them to come.

LAnn, I really enjoy markets more and more. I have to drive a little further but the one I usually go to now gets in a wide variety of foods and has their own plant/tree nursery which they just expanded. I even found strawberry onions there, grown in south Florida and not so easy to find here. I had even ordered some from Plant City, Fl before I found these so got to compare.

Lauralind, they all have their own personality from what I’ve experienced.

Kitkat, I tried some mushroom coffee and thought about you and how you take care of yourself.

Updating list, just finished eating something and I think I’ll walk the dogs before I do anything else.

trissie, it's large but not enormous, about 3,000 sf. Actually, it might be more if the basement level is not included in the footage -- I don't know if it is. . . It has 4 bedrooms and 2 sitting areas as well as a large rec area. It also has 2 outside decks and a large yard -- that's on a hill. Mt. Rainier is visible from it, probably only on clear days.
That's a great trick, kitkat!
Looks like you've been very productive, L Ann. Do you get any baked goods at the market?
WTG with the list, Bama. Yes, it is so easy to get off track. Looks like you're making good progress.
That's so interesting to have meat from an animal you knew, Gma.
Are you happy with your haircut, lauralind?

It's almost 4 pm here. I should go for a walk/ run but I'm feeling tired and heavy. I just ate lunch - yes, a bit late - and I bought Easter candy last night, so I ate a lot of that too, which makes me feel not so great. Yes, I'm an adult, but in age only. . . .

Anyhow, it has felt like a heavy emotional day. People at the NH expressed sadness about my mom's leaving. They all said she was such an easy patient. I felt emotional too; I've been visiting this place every 4-6 week for 4 years now, almost to the month, and in a weird way, I'll miss it. Then, Q, the social worker, told me that my mom's insurance wasn't accepted by the MI med equipment co. that was supplying the hospital bed because it was out of state. Hmmm.... did that mean my mom's insurance (medicare but through a private co.) wouldn't be accepted at all in MI?? I had called and they told me I didn't need to change anything. . . I tabled that concern and managed to pack up her room. It didn't take too long, though she's got a ton of clothes, over half of which I think are technically not hers. Some are kinda carpy. I'll cull them when we get back to Michigan. I can monitor her wardrobe there. One of many things I'm realizing I can do with her close by. (I can also try to attend Dr. appts.)

I left and drove to the GF bakery and bought some goodies + some GF pizzas to eat at home, which are $18 each and the size of a standard pie. I could have bought more but couldn't bring myself to spend more. . . After eating some lunch and some candy, I bit the bullet and called the medical equipment co. re: the hospital bed. It turns out, the insurance is fine (YAY!) - they take it; it is just that the order is coming from the Illinois nursing home instead of the MI nursing home, which is where she'll be. . . Or something like that. I just paid out of pocket since the bed needs to be there tomorrow. The med equip co. rep said I can have the MI nursing home recommend the bed, and then they can bill insurance retroactively - or something like that.

I'm exhausted. I think I'll try a walk in the sunshine. That will get me away from the candy, at least.

Keeping DD32 from buying candy is difficult here, helian…. And then keeping me from eating it. We also have way too many”snack” type of foods in the house…some healthier than others… but Little Bit tends to graze all day long. The guy came to measure for the new back door and the carpet guy is coming on Monday to give me a quote. Moving along on house things that need doing.

I am not in the mood to do the kitchen clean up yet again but since I don’t want to wake up to it not done there really isn’t a lot of choice.
