A PART OF MY DAY

Oma got up with a plan today with about 10 things on her list
but she got side tracked but did get a lot of things done but not sure how many were really on the list
I put our table back in our spot that papa and I always had it=
I moved it in June when he last went to the hospital as I knew he would not come home again and it was just so hard to see his empty chair
but
today it was time to put it back as it really is to big
where I moved it too
but now I will sit in papa's spot =
I am ready I guess as
I am accepting that papa is so very very gone
and it is ok to remember him in his special places
yes, I cried but I know that it is a ''good thing''for me to do-
then I ended up cleaning other areas and moving this and that which is ok- I even vacuumed under the stove- (shock as there were dust bunnies living there)
did a few chores at the church and talked with the pastor
and he understands that it is not the time
for me to attend social functions there
right now
and that is sort of my day
have a wonder filled night
huggles me,

Oma is not

• as young as she used to be and the grand kids
• kept her up too late last night
• and now my my mind and body are telling me
• that was not a ''good thing to do.''
• but grand kids are only young once too
• and we did make a few memories
• such as
• a 7 year old can out last her grandma
• and they do not take bribes at bed time
• and if Oma does not listen
• and all else fails
• phone mommy to tell her that
• Oma made her go to bed--LOL
• glad mommy is smart enough to know
• that 11 pm is half past bedtime
• the good news is that Oma is now
• home alone
• and can now go to bed early =
• we ate out of a can today also
• which means the kids went home
• tired and hungry but the food was educational
• it was alphagetti--LOL
• huggles Oma aka Meme

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

• I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE FUN TO START SHARING SOME OF MY DAYS HERE
• today I was done at the church and cleaned for 3 hours- ovens, vacuuming, bathrooms and etc...
• it was very windy so I am so glad that I found a new hat yesterday to wear- it keeps the wind out of my ears and the hair on my head
• the Miss Ashley and the boy who is a friend gave me a shock today::
• THEY WASHED THE DISHES
• so now I have two clean sinks at the same time
• Miss Sidney is here to visit but she is not a happy camper so Oma is looking forward
• to her bedtime- she has always been high maintenance and once she is on a melt down she needs to sleep it off,,,,,,, I try to ignore as much as one Oma can as I am trying to keep the visit pleasant for both of us,
• in other words - an ok day-
• praying for each of our bloggers and remember to make memories

ASHLEY'S SCRATCH SOUP

• Miss Ashley is 18 and now living with Oma- and between us we are learning to eat together
• here is our supper soup

2 large cups of water--(she likes to over flow the cup--LOL)

4 large carrots plus extra one if you have a dog-- dog likes raw carrots-

peel and cut in small pieces

bring water and carrots to a boil-

add frozen green beans- about 1 cup

and bring to boil again and add

3 potatoes - cut small-

bring to boil and add one cup of frozen peas

- boil for 10 minutes and then add one cup hot water

and 2 cans of tomatoe soup

mix well

bring to just boiling and cook for 10 minutes stir as needed

add left over rice or plain macaronie and your own spices for taste

no more salt-
