On Wednesday Dr John went to the Dr. He was OK then but has been having a hard time since.
I will call the lung Dr and see what can be done. Asking for prayer.
Pat and the boys came up on Friday, and Peter came down. Saturday the boys built two bookcases for me for the study, and they took out the old microwave cart which I was using for a bookcase. It was falling apart. I now have a place for E-Bay boxes, paper and mailing material.
Pat also fixed Pennies toilet.

Raven challenge 95
Today I face another Raven's Challenge.
This week's words were: alternate reality, shadows, frantic, tomatoes, field, lilies, DVD,snow mobile, aggravation, music
And for the mini: grounds for divorce, pink panther, salutations, wavering, lasagne
Ten word:
Sandy Shore was frantic seeing shadows of creatures from the alternate reality world of no sound trying to steal the medallion from her. She did not have it, but knew that Knight her companion an invisible penguin was protecting it. To keep her calm, and not thinking about the aggravation that would come if they found her, she put on a DVD with soothing music and pictures of fields of tomatoes and lilies. A DVD of snow mobiles racing in the UP came next.
Mini:
If she were married her lasagne would be grounds for divorce. She was not married, and at this point in her life probably a very good thing thought Sandy Shore. Her life had become much too complicated, with an invisible penguin. In this world of hers there were panthers that were invisible also, but not pink panthers. She had finally left the TV and had made supper of lasagne. The door bell rang, and she went to the door. She wavered as to whether she should open it to the unknown gentleman in formal attire standing there. She decided to open it. "Salutations," he said.
Strange she thought. He had a large smile, but she found that she felt that it was false. He pushed his way into the apartment . He was talking , more like rambling on and on about her fine apartment, and the smell of the burned lasagne. He was looking intensely around as he talked.
He went into her bedroom, grabbing her jewelery box tossing its contents unto the bed. Sandy picked up her cell phone, and started to dial the police, angry at herself for not doing that immediately . The stranger noticed her actions, and hit the phone out of her hands.
"Where is it?" he asked.
" Where is what?"
" The medallion ?"
" I don't know what you are talking about."
It seemed like a force hit his legs, and he fell to the floor. A pot of left over lasagna hit him on the head. He was still on the floor. Sandy's Knight to the rescue.

Raven's Challenge 94
Today I face another Raven's Challenge.
10-word challenge are: space cadet, silver lining, wood, turtle soup, minaret, ice, grease, sales, mandala, mug
And for the mini: broken bones, slide rule, garbage, Chinese, sanguine
I am not doing a Raven's challenge because I smashed my fingers yesterday while taking down the Christmas decorations to the basement. I had to carry a large box so I put it on Dr. John's chair that goes to the basement. At the bottom I turned to lift the box off the chair and it got stuck. I pulled and the chairs button got hit and my hand was wedge between the box and the wood railing. with the chair heading back up the stairs.
I didn't have any broken bones but the hand was bruised. I put an ice pack on the hand. I got to use a word, that might be a silver lining. I did not drink turtle soup from a mug. That is the best I can do.

2009 Christmas at The Linnas
I had great intentions of being all ready for my guests. I had a time line down, today I wash clothes. the next day plan the meals, shop on another day so on. The weather threw me off, my son and boys came early because of the stormy forecast. That was a smart thing to do but I didn't get done what I planned.
That was OK because the grandsons wanted to cook, so clean counters(not dirty but cluttered) and floors were not important. Yes there was pancake batter all over the counter and drawers. Ice cream left out so counter had to be cleaned up. Oldest grandson was making smoothies. Oldest grandson also wanted to make what I believe is called Puppy Chow. It calls for powdered sugar that blows around easily. I was busy with cleanup, yes they cleaned up but they do not have grownup eyes. They had fun and the food created very good. We made saffron rolls. My son Pat made the dough and I made the different forms. I was on my feet for three hours and very tired so my grandchildren offered to cleanup. There was a pile of pans left and a mixing bowl, also odds an ends of cooking tools such as spoons, measuring cups. The odds and ends got cleaned but the bowl and pans were still there dirty. That was pointed out to them and back they went. The bowl got clean, but the pans remained, I laughed and did the pans. Like I said they don't have grownup eyes.
Melli told about spilling the beans at her place. My daughter bought for me a garbage disposal, that was to be a surprise. There was problems with communication about where and who picks up the disposal, Pennie or the plumber. Pennie left it there, but the sales clerk thought it should be brought to the house. She left it on the step for the plumber to get it. I came to Pennies with the mail and saw the disposal. Surprise gone but I knew I had to get the kitchen clean for it but like I said up above that didn't get done before the son and grandchildren arrived. The plumber still has not been here.
The church service was very nice, with a banjo, bells and choir. We had a candle lighting service. The boys got to go sledding twice.
Next I will tell you about the meal. I had a standing rib roast which I put in the oven at the right time. I also had a ham and that went into the oven at the right time, but I forgot about the apple roast which I was putting in the slow cooker. I did finally remember and put it on but it was not going to be ready at the right time. Alex made the fruit salad. We also had rolls and mashed potatoes. Pie, apple and lemon were for dessert .

Raven challenge 93
Today I face another Raven's Challenge.
This week's 10-word challenge are: spaghetti, woe is me, mythology, avarice, windy, pathetic, paper towels, water, all my children, books
And for the mini: best deals of the week, Nobel Peace Prize, sleep deprived, cauliflower, practice
Mini:
Sandy Shore could not get to sleep. There had been now many nights of little sleep, and she feared she would be sleep deprived. Could it be what she ate such as the cauliflower she had last night? She might as well get up. Maybe if she read the paper for the best deals of the week, she would get tired enough to fall asleep.
Not finding any deals, she turned to the news portion. There was an article on the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize. She knew who should really win the prize, Knight her invisible penguin. Of coarse they would not give it to him, because most people could not see him, or knew what he had done. He had all that power, and with practice he was becoming more skilled at turning dangerous situations into safe ones. Like the other day when those kids got their hands on the medallion that could bring someone into another place, and then that Larry put it on taking him off to another land. Many people wanted that power. The news had spread fast the medallion had been taken away from the wizard Jem. Now it It was in Knight's custody. That photo Larry had would becoming a blank paper.
Sandy found she was becoming tired and she returned to bed to sleep.
Ten Words:
The spaghetti was all over the kitchen floor. Sandy was on her knees sopping up the spaghetti with paper towels dipped in water. She was whining "Woe is me." It was not the mess on the floor that was causing her distress, but the message she had received from Knight. It is surprising what a penguin can do with a beak. The mess was caused by her as she moved quickly to get to her computer. Wrong information was circulating that she had possession of the dimensional medallion. The avarice creatures she had seen in the world with out sound were planning to take the medallion from her.
A study needed to be done to see what weaknesses they had. She left the house, leaving the show All My Children playing on the TV. It was windy, and the walk to the university library a little difficult. She took out an armful of books on Mythology, and cornered a table just for herself. She observed the students going about their business unaware of the danger from an unknown world. How pathetic she thought.
Although she gathered a list of things to protect her, they were from this world would they work on creatures from another? She would do her best to keep from revealing were the medallion was.
