FOR TODAY August 25...
Outside My Window...
Treetops bending in the strong wind, silhouetted against a clear blue sky
I am thinking...
about the best way to juggle things so we can pay for Sam’s wisdom teeth removal- the *%&$#@! insurance company denied the authorization as “not covered”
I am thankful for...
the provision of my Heavenly Father; we have two substantial checks coming in the next couple of weeks, which will go towards one need, one indulgence, & one hope
From the kitchen...
Pork loin roast leftovers, asparagus, maybe some mashed potatoes (it’s been awhile- I wonder if I have any), & some of the best Clementines I’ve had in a long time
I am wearing...
Blue patterned skirt, green short-sleeved sweater, & blue loafers
I am creating...
Now that Ravelympics is over, I must spend time with my neglected sewing machine- I’m working on a tabard apron & matching potholder for the Fall Apron Swap (due to mail out on Friday), piecing the last 8 blocks for this year’s church quilt, & putting the final five rows together before sending it to my partner for the final stitching.
I am going...
to miss watching the Olympics every evening (though it will be good to get to bed at an earlier time); I’m not a sports fan by nature, but I was mesmerized by the excitement & talent that flowed across the screen every night- I often found myself cheering out loud for people I’ll never meet.
I am reading...
I’m still working on The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs, & Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell
I am hoping...
to taste my own cantaloupes before winter- I found three melons this weekend & we should still have hot weather for at least another month.
I am hearing...
The Humming Chorus from Puccini’s Madame Butterfly
Around the house...
The sewing machine & paraphernalia has again taken over the dining room; I saw an awful lot of dust clinging to the ceiling fan this morning (Oh, Saaam!); the lawn is in need of trimming & the grass should be cleared from around the sprinkler heads
One of my favorite things...
hot, buttered popcorn- sometimes, this is all I’ll eat for supper J
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:
Now that I’m done with choir (Sunday was my last day), my evenings stretch out free of commitments; the fridge & cupboards are looking a bit sparse, so some grocery shopping is in order; some raking & flowerbed clear-up needs doing; then this weekend, we are headed off to the Caledonian Club Of San Francisco 143rd Annual Scottish Highland Games being held in Pleasanton.
Here is picture thought I am sharing.
Ever hear of a self-service cat?

I recently had a problem with my insurance and dental work, too. My dentist worked it out finally to the satisfaction of my insurance company. I discovered the claim submission had not been correctly filled out. So, maybe a talk with your dentist can help resolve the issue.
I enjoyed reading your list. I'm so going to miss seeing all the Summer Olympics events.
When Suki had her wisdom teeth removed, it was considered a *surgical extraction* because of the location and position of those teeth. Our dental insurance would not pay, saying it was a medical issue, because they were *surgical*. Of course, my medical insurance wouldn't pay because it was an OBVIOUS dental procedure - done by a dentist.
So, yeah. Guess who paid? Bingo! ME! Sheesh.
I like your "I am Thankful" - sounds like a perfect way to use the money ;)
That stinks about the dental insurance, so frustrating!!
OK, so those cat pictures are hilarious. I love how they get themselves into such situations, always good for a laugh!
I will miss the Olympics too, although I am pretty tired this week and I have a feeling I know why so it will be good for this girl to catch some extra z's!!
