Wednesday, December 11th, the month is going by quickly. I suspect that 10 year old me would think that the month was creeping by and that Christmas is a loooooong way off. But 80 year old me thinks that the days seem to pass pretty quickly. Blame Santa Claus because it makes a difference whether you are waiting for Santa Claus or you ARE Santa Claus. 

We have started this week off in good stead. Ms. Kate is feeling so much better. I think she is about 99% over the bronchitis with only a little of the lingering cough remaining. And, she has officially started on the Cardiac Rehab program. She went Monday and again today and we go back again on Friday. It does give  some sore muscles but that is to be expected. She makes it through what they want her to do in the class pretty well. Monday she had a followup appointment with her cardiac NP and got a good report from them. I think we can measure her progress by the fact that she has no medical appointments for the rest of the month except for the rehab three days a week. We give God all glory for her progress. 

Did I tell you that I got into a cookie making mood? I made chocolate chip, Springerlies, and snickerdoodle cookies and then while I was at it I made a pumpkin pie. The pie is all gone by now of course so I have to think about what I want to do next. I’d really like to make a good Coconut Creme pie but I don’t think I’m quite ready to jump on that horse. But, I love a good coconut Creme pie. I have found that there are a lot of places that make them but some of them are wonderful and others are just; meh”!

My bird feeders are empty and I really need to get out there and fill them. I put in an order with Wild Birds Unlimited this morning for $170.00.  That was for only seven items. I can’t believe how much more it costs me to feed these guys, but then I can’t believe what it costs me to feed Kate and me these days either. If I would just put out the sun flower seeds it would provide them food, but they really flock to all of the different varieties that I buy. I also have to get hold of an electrician to replace the outlet on the back patio. I’ve studied how to do it but I just can get down to do it because it is so low and I would have to lay down on the concrete to do it. That ain’t happening. Until then. The birds will have to deal with the fact that they won’t have unfrozen water at times. 

That’s it for this Wednesday. Have a wonderful rest of your week. Peace.
