Waiting for Spring

Bruce said he walked on his knees in pool time.
   Hokan has been coming over to dig up some lilies and Iris that have been overtaking Bruce's grapes. It is a muddy wet job. He is raising money for spring wrestling. Thank you for the hard work. 
  On Monday, Teija brought over some wonderful chicken, taters and carrot stew and for dessert there was ice cream chosen by her son, Carson, 3, who likes the Neapolitan flavor.
   Wednesday we ate at the spaghetti feed Angel fundraiser at the high school. There were a lot of people there. Bruce had fun talking to all his friends at school. We gave Rosala and Debbie a week off.
   Thursday Amy brought over my favorite dish in the whole world, crispy chicken, a fresh green salad with avocado and a red jello cake with strawberries. I grew up in Virginia and KFC crispy chicken style is my choice for my birthday dinner! You read my mind.
   I picked up my costumes from Amal and the Night visitors. I gave one outfit to Bro. Hawks, he likes to dress up as a shepherd at Christmas time to deliver gifts to the families he visits from the church, a clever idea and going the extra mile. The rest I will donate to the Seventh Day Adventist church for their yearly gift to the community of the nativity. Seems people wear the costumes home and some are not returned. Some costumes are getting older and worn out too. They need a costume Nazi...
  I worked on the Quilt Quester's yearly challenge. It is a panel that needs embroidery work. It is from Aunt Ruthie's Farm Stand.
  Bruce had spasms for about half an hour this morning around five, his legs just shake and fall off the bed. Yes, we push his legs over on the bed but each spasm moves his legs, sometimes they go up in the air and sometimes they jerk around. Will need a nap today.
   Bruce's standing goals have changed, he is having difficulties with his hips, one is higher than the other. They do stretches to get him straightened out. 
    At night Relief Society (church women's meeting) we learned how to stay spirituality strong. Trouble is when times get tough, no matter how many trials you can handle, you turn to Christ and he answers by sending family, friends and neighbors. 
   We also learned how to give a massage. Pain/body aches is an outward manifestation of inward turmoil. The philosophy of the day .25 please.
