H now

Hi:

Sorry for such a long time between posts. I was so very busy the last three days, writing a grant for a client. The twenty pages of questions were all essay questions. My document ended up 19 pages long, single spaced. What a job...

I am now reading Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All. It is good book showing how the anti-vaccine tells lies and not even half-truths about the effects of vaccines. Whooping cough was the first target of these jerks. I will not rant any further, but I highly recommend this book.

I am taking it easy today after the last five days of working on that grant.

I was so busy I failed to open my Kindle. It is Thursday today and yet the last download to my Kindle had been Monday.

I had to mail this grant material in instead of sending by an email attachment. It has to be there in Philadelphia by 4:00 pm tomorrow. I mailed it yesterday by Express Mail, but to cost me $40.00 to get it there by tomorrow at 3:00 pm.

Birthdays continue the next two days, first my ex-wife is tomorrow and a friend in Eugene is on Saturday.

I may check to see if there any garage sales this weekend. The Stayton Mail has a web page of advertised sales. I will check it later today.

How has your week been?

I don't call it "global warning;" instead I call "climate change." Still proof, would you not agree?

Near the end of this weekend

Hello:

I am back to just posting text and then posting pictures after seeing what happened yesterday to my post there.

I planted my peas today. Only one of the 13 peas failed to germinate so planted 12 new plants.

I also fertilized my rhubarb today, as I saw it coming up in just two places. Last summer I got five cutting off my rhubarb having fertilized much later in the spring. I love cooked rhubarb and I have four packages from my 5th planting from last summer. I used one to put in a chocolate cake instead of water. Made the cake so good with rhubarb in it.

I will finish The Inner Circle tonight. Not a page turner like a David Baldacci novel, but interesting enough.

Breakfast was so very good this morning at the Shaw parish. Sausage gravy over biscuits and eggs and hash browns.

Dryer weekend is here...

Hi again:

This picture is from last summer and my first attempt at growing tomatoes upside down. I may try three of these this summer.

Wanted to remind you of what happens in summer.

I am enjoying reading The Inner Truth, but the characters are not well developed. But it is an easy read.

I am working today and tomorrow, in order to meet a deadline next Friday.

Tomorrow is the best parish breakfast, the one at Shaw Parish. Sausage gravy over biscuits, with eggs and peaches too. It is the best sausage gravy I have eaten here in western Oregon.

I am trying once again to post a picture with this post. We shall see how it goes.

Hope your weekend is going well.

Steve

The top picture is a lake in China, but it could be in Oregon.
