We are back home and finally beginning to feel like we’re in the land of the living. That’s because the day after we came home, I came down pretty sick. To put it mildly….I haven’t been that sick for a longgggg time. I am still weak and tire easily. Doyle was just totally exhausted. He did have the intestinal bug for a few hours, I had it for four days! YUK! But today, other than being tired and a bit nauseated, I feel more normal than I have in more than a week. It was a pretty normal day.I was called up at about 10:00 a.m. this morning by my “milk” lady. “I have a problem” she started out. My heart sank, I thought, oh no…she doesn’t have any milk for us, the cows tipped over her bucket, or some such thing, but no….she didn’t have enough milk jars (gallon jars). She asked if I could come over right away with my jars, and of course I told her I could. So, off I went to the farm to get our milk. It was nice visiting with her. She had rave reviews for my daughter-in-law Heather. And she had to ask if my other daughter-in-law was as nice as Heather. Of course I told her she was! So then we talked about how wonderful it was to have such a lovely family. (And of course it is!) Then I ran some errands, came home and Beth dropped off the eggs from the farm in Bloomfield. She had to go there today, so saved me a trip. Heather and boys stopped by very briefly to pick up their eggs and milk and then I started my bread. I also started drying some herbs. My greenhouse is overflowing with herbs and they must be tended to. They are drastically getting out of hand. I have kefir started and dinner soon to follow. A couple staying over tomorrow night on their way to L.A. So….I’m back to my normal.
