Friday wait and see



 Strawberry walnut bread


Distracting ourselves





This week seems like forever. Megan being in the hospital worrying about her and when she is going to have the baby is like walking around with a pit in my stomach. I wanted my blog to be about happy things like quilts,gardening,rug hooking and simple happy things but I feel like Life has stepped in with all it’s scary moments. I Spent the week with Megan at the hospital. It’s amazing how you can see how kind some nurses are and how some are good nurses but just don't have that human touch.Today is my day off and her hubby is with her so I can get caught up with everything.   So instead of having pins and needles at the hospital I am waiting for a phone call from her hubby.  Even my husband is exhausted. It’s amazing the circle of love that feels the pain of it’s family member. Mike Jack and I are so pooped. Even her dogs need extra cuddles because they have never been this long away from Megan.                                           

Mekenna is the one I worry the most about she is a very sensitive cocker spaniel and she stopped eating so I had to hand feed her. I finally added a bit of cheese and now she’ll eat her food.

Instead of hooking at the hospital every day I had heard about a book on the radio while driving.   I ordered it from the library and I am so glad I did. It’s called The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks. It’s a true story about a woman and  the first immortal cells grown in cultures.  These unusual  cells that keep on reproducing have been used in many scientific research studies long after she has died. I would highly recommend it if you like history.





Second Loaf

 I then decided I wanted to make the Strawberry Pecan bread that Dog trot Farm blog had talked about. So I went on her blog tracked down Coop Keeper who had written about it and Finally the original recipe was on All Recipe.

Remember my experience when I made a cake for Hubby for valentines Day . Well this turned out better. I know my blogging friends who are bakers would be proud of me. I have to thank Dog trot Farm for spiking my interest. I used walnuts instead of pecans.

Do you ever just want a boring day. A day you can just be thinking what can I do today. A day when you can just be in a state of routine doing laundry watering running to the super market. That sounds like an odd thing but I just want a boring day.
