Greetings, All.
Old Mt. Woman: The one you are referring to is Tom Baker. I think he was the first one I ever say. Since then we have managed to see most of the older ones as they have come available.e I like it when they refer to reality. “Avogadro’s Number is all wrong,” came up when I was studying chemistry. The new Dr., Jody, is great. I like that she challenges the men. A male-in-charge, said, “Why are you in charge?” Her groups said, “Because she is.” The actress is also not afraid to do silly physical things. Yay for her – taking on an all boy’s club.
Sewing: My sewing machine was having problems because a needle had broken. When I took apart the bobbin casing I saw the tip of a needle stuck there. It was gradually fraying the top thread. My machine does not call for any oiling, but I did oil some moving parts, such as the bobbin case. Now it is just humming along. I put together the basic boxy pattern of the flannel jacket yesterday, now I get to experiment with the neckline. This should be interesting.
My oldest grandson is not having a good month. He chose not to continue with his eagle rank because he did not do things correctly. He did not want to ask counselors for exceptions. He has very high standards. (Daughter was checking things for him.) Today, he found out that he was not asked back as a counselor at his favorite Scout camp. They were “full” and he should “check with another camp” which would be in another county or state. Basically he was fired without the benefit of a reason. (Of course, there are thousands applying for only hundreds of jobs, which is normal.) This is difficult for him because he loved it there; even though they were not paid much and the hours were horrible. He loved being outdoor, serving others, and the values of the organization. It is also difficult because his middle brother was asked to be staff at the most coveted sub-camp. They were looking forward to serving together. So, my nearly 18-year-old, is learning the facts of life, and the stress. Unfortunately, I am sure he will be depressed. He does not deal with stress well. There is a life lesson in there for him. What it is he will find out. Apparently he is supposed to learn something else this summer. Grandma cannot hug this hurt away. They say grief is halved when you share it.
Since Hubby is complaining about the snow and wants to move away from it, I am pushing him to empty his file drawers. Everything we own would fill up a Tiny House and leave no room for us.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone.
