Up Tempo

Last evening, right on schedule, we heard a knock on the door.  It was our friend, Sharkbytes.  This evening, she is the featured speaker at our church’s mother/daughter banquet.

Yesterday, Sylvia had harvested sixteen pounds of rhubarb.  In the afternoon, with assistance from her part-time helper, Sylvia baked a rhubarb pie.  It was not easy, but we did wait to bite into that delightful creation until Sharkey arrived.  You can see a picture here.

When last we met, we made a promise to do some music together and that’s what we did.

Just having fun.

Just having fun.

Sylvia was supposed to join in on guitar, but the broken wrist has removed that option.  She still has her voice and joined in the singing.

We heard from the orthopedist today with results from the C-T scan.  Sylvia has a dislocated fracture.  We’ll be back in his office on Monday morning.  Further diagnostics to follow.

We’re having a fun day.  Lots of music, talk and laughter.  Life is good.

  1. Aw, Gees! You guys have all the fun! I am sorry I miss out on these events.

    Bummer about Sylvia’s arm.

    • Please don’t tell Sylvia that we have all the fun. We’re sorry you’re not close enough to “drop in” and join the fun. That would make for a very good day. :cloud9:

  2. Glad you had a happy visit! My FIL used to break out the accordion and play at all the family events. It’s been awhile since I thought of it! 🙂

  3. Oh, I don’t feel sorry.. After I looked out on our lani and looked at the five pineapple plants which are now fruiting and the lemon bush which is ready to fruit. The Lord provides all of us with the fruits which feed us no matter where we are.

  4. Rhubarb! Fresh rhubarb! Ummmmmm! Doesn’t grown down here. Nor do morel mushrooms. Two of my most favorite foods from the spring. What we give up for warm winters. Sylvia, I’m so sorry to hear that your fracture is dislocated. Love to you guys!

    • Don’t feel too sorry for yourself, Bill. At least you can pick fresh citrus there. Sylvia says, “Thanks.”
