Ramblings from Windsor

day. Lay around again. Nurse sent out a prescription for strep, so hopefully I feel better fast.

Church men were singing at Joe Hochstler’s tonight. The ladies had their Chinese gift exchange at neighbor Sam Susan.

Jan. 12, Thursday: Happy birthday to neighbors Harvey Marie (33rd) and Uria Mart (25th). Mom was her cousin Les Rose. She recently had a heart attack (or?), but Is back on her feet and seems to be doing well.

Jan. 14, Saturday: Happy 23rd birthday to Esther G. Yoder.

Everyone was at home today. Been awhile since that happened on a Saturday.

Jan. 15, Sunday: Happy birthday to David Mast (49th). Got to babysit baby Leah Mae tonight! The lil girls were delighted and made sure they had their turn holding her.

Jan. 17, Tuesday: Joey and Liz welcomed baby Regina. Grands are Allan and Mary Mill- er, and David and Saloma Mast.

Neighbor (Dan) Sheila had knee surgery today. She will be staying at her daughter Esther and family while she recovers at 6620 South Windsor Road, Middlefield. Am sure she would enjoy any letters, cards, etc. to help pass the time.

Jan. 18, Wednesday: Sister #2 had a dream that made me smile, though she didn’t think it was funny. And it isn’t really . . . she dreamed I was fostering an adorable little girl, but hadn’t adopted her yet, (I had no plans, too) (SMILE). Well, she became very attached to her and one day, as she was playing with her, this lady came (she recognized her) and took her away saying we can’t have her after all.

Sis was sleeping on the couch, as she hasn’t been feeling well. And, she awoke with tears running down her face. I think anyone who has woken up like that from a dream knows that is not a good feeling.

She is also the one that still insists when she was smaller and was taking a nap a kitten sat on her dresser going meow. It must’ve seemed real, she talked about it for a long time afterwards. She can still tell u everything about that dream.

SPINACH is a cool season vegetable that forms a rosette of broad, dark green leaves rich in iron, which promotes a healthy bloodstream. It can be eaten raw or lightly steamed as a nutritious side dish. A drawback of spinach its tendency to bolt to seed as soon as the weather starts to get hot.

SWEET POTATOES are a warm season vining vegetable that is grown from offsets called slips. These sprout all around the tuber when its planted below the soil surface, in moist peat or when half-submerged in plain water. Each slip can be detached from the tuber to create a new plant. The slips must be planted outdoors after frost. Earliest yields are possible by growing through black plastic. See you all next time. Have blessed day.

Jan. 19, Thursday: Happy birthday to Uria Laura — 62nd I believe.

Caleb (Mark Byler’s) had surgery to remove rod and pins from his leg.

Jan. 20, Friday: Today we had “all-you-caneat” pancakes on the menu for $1.99. One lady asked if she orders and can’t quite eat everything if she still gets to take it home? She was told yes she could. She replied in that case I’d like 100, I will take them home and put ‘em in the freezer.

It was a good thing she was joking. That definitely would’ve been a “no.” (SMILE)

Jan. 21, Saturday. Let’s wish a happy 46th birthday to Ervin Esther. Her only brother passed away 1-24-21, and she is taking care of her mom as she recovers from her surgery. Her address is the one above.

‘Til next time, stay healthy and don’t eat too many pancakes. Adios!
