We say good-bye to June 2020 today AND with the AC on and the dehumidifier on as well!

TERRY

Terry was sad yesterday afternoon as they had to put the feeding tube into her nose again.  She tries to eat and drink but as of now that is just so so difficult for her.  Physically she can do it but food and drink just are difficult to take in for her.  Why the feeding tube?  The doctors said that her body and her liver need the liquid.  He said if there is no feeding tube we do not want to go down that road.  So it went in about 4 PM and then they took her down for X-rays as they needed to make sure it was in correctly.  I face timed her about 6 last night and I would say for what she is going through she was pretty good.  I went outside and she could see the garden and then she wanted to see the newly painted kitchen windows too.  She thought things looked nice.  She had a visit from daughter Kim and was happy about that.  Kim will see her again today before she flies home later today.  I am hoping a doctor calls me today.  I will get to see her tomorrow.

As I navigate this weight loss journey I am trying new things.  Here is a Costco purchased veggie pizza with cauliflower crust.  I would give it an A and half a pizza has only 460 calories!  I will eat the other half this afternoon.

I had to taste my rhubarb/raspberry jam so I tried it on a piece of toast.  Don't worry about the cut off end as I needed to get the slice in the toaster!  After eating it I gave myself a pat on the back and almost hurt myself.

Travis and I tried out the new Coffee Cup cafe which is pretty near our house. You can now sit inside.  Funny some of the things they need to do.  Condiments are in the take out packs like you would get at McDonalds and the menu is a throw away one.  Wonder if they set the dish washer on extra hot!   It used to be several miles away but after a fire they moved.  Yes, the amount of food you get is the same!  There must have been 3 large potatoes at least.  Half came home and I enjoyed it for breakfast this morning.  AND yes I lost so I had to pay.  Then to make matters worse I stepped on the scale this morning and I started out phase two of weight loss with a gain😞.  AND worse yet our new stepping stone is John Mouw's birthday which is coming up on July 11.  Not much time to correct that weight gain.

In the last 36 hours we have gotten 3.3" of rain.  Some of that came over night again.  No more watering for some time now.  I am hoping it dries enough today so I can get the lawn mowed.  With company coming tomorrow we want to look nice, right?  

So it will kind of be somewhat busy today.  I plan to go to the store for ice this morning as Aaron/Amy need that for making ice cream.  It will take some time to make the potato salad.  I boiled the eggs yesterday and Travis helped me peel them.  Today I need to boil the potatoes and then it is a matter of slicing and dicing and dumping.  Mom's receipt does not have amounts for mustard. salt and pepper so that will be a guessing game.  We will see how good I am at guessing!

The neighbors across the back fence gave me the container back yesterday that I had sent over some rhubarb crisp in.  With that I then gave them a jar of each of the jams I made.  

Wanted to get some more work done on the front steps and also finish those kitchen windows BUT with temps as they are I may pass on both.

For some reason Travis did not bring any papers home so I did not sit in the kitchen right away.  That mean I went straight to the FP with NO pod coffee today.  That is all for now.
