I got up and put together a couple of arrangements for golf Monday. Good church and SS. Home for naps and then back to church to dig up plants until my spade broke. At home I tired to figure out what to do with the plants. The church is putting cement up to the east side of the youth building, so the plants need to be moved or they are trash. We watched tv before hading to bed.
I slept in until the sister phone call. Denny fixed breakfast for Evan and we sat on the patio and visited Such a sweet time. Thank you oJesus Evan left around noon. He was headed to Carrooll to meet Josh M. Then they were going to the Iowa state Fair. Denny and I napped and watched TV. I got the basement ready for airbnb that are coming on Monday. I went out and got some flowers ready for Monday.
I got up for Pb and played until 9 when I headed to Cherokee. It was a fun day!! We visited New Leaf where I showed them Tyler's get well card for me. We met Jan in the grocery store and ate lunchables at her place We went to Olive Branch where Jack got the back pack of his dreams. Next to Storm Lake. It was rainy , but after 30 minutes without any lightening. The boys swam at the beach for about an hour. Before they went to the office for a coloring contest Jack got his 2 small stuffies. When i got home Denny was all ready for steaks with Evan. After Evan got here he helped with jobs, changing lightbulbs in kitchen, and bunkhouse and putting stuff in attic above the garage. We had a great steak dinner and visited until bedtime.
I was home some of the day. I went to study and then to Dr. Veltri. I started lisinopril for BP.

Mandy left about 7:20 am and was home and taking her first patient about 8:20. We got nice phone calls from Missy in the morning and evening. II was chill all day and spent most of the day in bed. BUT I did get lisianthus seeds ordered.
It was a really tough night starting about 1:30. At 6 I took some ammonium and felt good enough to golf at Schleswig for Keenagers. I played kinda poopy, but luckily made it to outhouse on the 8th hole. I think the 4 of us shot a 43. Good enough to win $4. I also got $5 for a door prize drawing. One bouquet sold. At home I napped for about an hour. Around 4 I called Dr. office and Mandy to decided what I should do. Around 9:30 Denny took me to the ER. My blood pressure was very high. 210/114. Uffda!! I had an iv to add fluids, Blood word looked good. They gave me BP medicine thru IV. Very red st sample. Mandy drove down from Cherokee about the time they were releasing me. She was so kind to spend the night with us. She slept with me in our bed. During the night she was aware of my sleep apnea. AND in her dream she treated me. Got me the needed tests, and wrote a script for me. Once a nurse Practitioner, always a nurse practitioner .. even in her dreams. I sent one bouquet left after golf home with Mandy for Jan.
I added bigger leaves to Cyclone arrangement for the front of church. Naps in afternoon and then Bergmans came about 7 for supper. They were out west visiting Sarah and sight seeing. They did;t even stop home before stopping here. It was lovely. We ate on the deck. BUT I had picked a yellow squash from a plant that was volunteer in the garden. Denny had put it in batter and grilled it on the blackstone. IT tasted awful!! After a taste we disposed it. We had a great time visiting. Then after going to bed. OH, MY, at 1:30- 4:30 I was sick. Food poisoning??? In the am I contacted Denny and bergmans and they also weren't' feeling the best. Mike's comment was ... "It is good for us to get cleaned out once in a while." Uffda!! What a kind response to a terrible situation.
Oh, my it was arming/ blustery when I got up. Good sister's call. I headed to Odebolt about 9:30 - 12:45. I sold about 6/10 arrangements, 4/5 vanillas, 4/5 kettle bread. Good morning at FM! I napped then mowed after I got home.
Flowers Up and coffee and devo and I made a call to Sunrise Coffee. Too out I went to pick flowers. I made 4 loaves of kettle bread. I mowed then lawn from 1-3. We had radishes and kettle bread. I put together 5 bouquets. We had hamburgers for supper and then I went out and fixed 7 more. Inbetween times we watched some episodes of tv. Such a life. With all the drama on the TV show. I am SO thankful we have a super boring life. Auxh afunnt text from Luke checking on what my flower arrangements would bring in Excelsior.
I headed into PB before Denny got up. I took coffee out to the bunkhouse. It was too wet to mow the lawn. I went to study at Teresa's then to IG to the farmers market. it was a lovely afternoon. I gave away 3 bouquets and sold 7 @$15. I sold 4 Kettle breads @$5 and one bottle of vanilla. It was a good FM. At home Denny chilled. We had BL sandwiches after we got home.
It was rainy. I sorted the sheets closet. I was home all day. I put the flowers together for the farmers market. At night Denny slept in the bunk house.
I woke Denny up about an hour before I needed to take hime to pastor and Pastries. I went out to the CSA barn and cleaned up the bathtubs. I went to OGT after I left him off. I picked up Denny outside the church AND WE WENT TI CHEROKEE!! Yes!! The boys fixed a quesodia for Denny. He rested andJack, Tyler and I went to the Aurillia driving range. T'was so fun to watch them. They really laughed at me showing them wrong ways to hit the golf ball. For supper we had a birthday party for slothy AND early birthday party for Tyler. Fun night with Jan and Cooks. Mandy and Jan had a VBS recap meeting. Lord, draw us all closer to you. Denny slept in our bed and not on the recliner.
Denny didn’t sleep well last night. I took him to church and then went to OGT. At 10:30 we drove to Cherokee, It was first time Denny has been out. Fun afternoon with biys hitting golf balls in Aulrilla. Great supper with party for slothy and Tyler.
I picked up Lynn for SS and came home before church. Naps and rest in afternoon. Sherry and I went to Prairie Pedlar about 6:30. Fun night. My left eye is a little better. Denny's wrist still hurts, but trying to keep ahead of pain with pills. So far the third day day has been the hardest. Especially because his wrist was hurting. I took 5 bouquets to PP for door prizes. It was SO pretty there. Good to talk too Hogues. Lovely night.
May God continue to bless your marriage and you put HIM first.
I was up and played PB from 8-10. I stopped for groceries and curtain hooks at Doses. Denny said he slept well last night in the living room with the curtain I hung over the window. He said I should keep track of his progress. I think he is doing very well. He has moved right along with dumps. He is taking pain meds before he needs them. Tramiddol and 3 hours later oxycodiene. Then 3 hours later tramadol. Denny started doing some exercises. I finished cutting the corn I cooked last night. I had started a beef roast in the crock pot. It turned out very tasty.
I got up for a great breakfast after a 35fast. Yum. Kinda cute Denny had about the same breakfast at the hospital across the parking lot. Mandy came about7:30. So good to have her. I went to an eye checkup at 10 and when I got done Denny was ready to head home. I stopped and got a take home from Mr. Stirfry. We stopped in IG to get his prescription for pain meds. After we got settled I went to Study at Susan's , them I went to Rydberg's and picked 2 5 gallon buckets of sweet corn. We boiled them outside and ate the yummy crab ragoon, stuffed mushrooms and pot stickers. SO GOOD!!! Denny slept in the living room I put up a bed spread on the big window to block the light at night.
I was up for devo, fold clothes, unload dishwasher, make bunkhouse bed, deliver vases to CSA barn, load of dirty clothes in washer, fold and put away clothes, load dishwasher, unload Prius, back out RAV4, Drive Prius in machine shed, shower, shampoo, dry and get in car to head to SC Dunes surgery. Oh, ya and keep Denny happy by avoiding hime who is having no breakfast and NO coffee. It's 2:30 and Denny has made it so far so good. He is headed back to bet a nerve block in his shoulder, that happens about 30 minutes before the 2 1/2 hour surgery. We started to go to the Dunes early enough that we stopped and booked/checked into my room in the motel within walking distance of where Denny will be spending the night. I ordered a couple iris bundles that will come in September.
I was up and got the coop ready for lunch. I was at OGT from 8-11. When I came home the road grader slowed down us getting home. There were 15 of us who got lunch in the coop and ate in the shade of the trees on picnic tables. It was really fun to have them. Good food, good people. We napped/rested and at 3:30 Maren, Grace, and Elsie came to tour the repurposed buildings. We stormed them for over an hour. How could I not have gotten a picture of Maren and her girls. Uffda!!After egg salad sandwiches we watched young guns and packed for surgery tomorrow.
Up after not sleeping very well. I played golf at Twin Lakes. With Sara T from Sac. We shot a 41 with lots of fun talk:). From there I went to Storm Lake and Alta. I helped at the Olive Branch from 3-5. Mandy met me there for shopping. When I got home i helped Denny finish mowing. I worked on getting ready for OGT to come gor lunch tomorrow
