Picnic

Yesterday, I posted this on Facebook:
My summer just kind of disappeared this year. This afternoon we are going up the canyon for a picnic, the first for me this year. Can't wait.
It was the first time I had been up the canyon this year. It was so nice to be out. We went to Willow Flat. I ♥ it up there. That was the last place I went before I left on my mission almost 40 years ago.

I was excited & hoped I wouldn't get sick. The food was delicious and I ate too much. I got soooo sick. I went to the car, took my eme-bag (barf bag) out of my purse & sat there with my stomach cramping.

The leaves are starting to turn, but it is soooo dry. It was nice, but then clouded up & random raindrops started falling just as we were finishing. We didn't get our watermelon. Not that I would have been able to eat it if we did.

Some things never change: like forgetting mustard & ketchup. I actually thought of it, but didn't stop & get it out of the fridge.

Nick didn't feel good yesterday after we ate, Don woke up in the night, Don-Mike had diarrhea all day. I don't know if Amber got sick. Mother didn't seem to, but today she is not feeling well. The home health nurse came & took her vitals & sat & talked for a few minutes. Everything checked out okay. I think it was the smoke from the bon fire & she didn't have her oxygen with her at the table, only in the car. I should be more conscientious, but I wasn't.

Simple Mom

In my last blog entry I stated I had discovered pinterest.com . So, tonight, trying to track down a pin with only a picture, which I hate with a passion, I discovered a blog called Simple Mom. Wow! She even has a podcast. I may have to break down & discover podcasts. I've been resisting them.

Tsh Oxenreider. It’s pronounced “Tish.” She explains her parents "were experimental with their name choices in the '70s." Kind of like Koltn Burbank, author of The Fiddle of Fire. Tsh also has several books. She has been blogging for several years, not sure what several means, but it looks like I've got some reading to do. I put the URL on my blog list so I can find it again.

No, I didn't find the pin I wanted, but did find one close enough. I'll leave the picture pin.
