My Life Is A Gift Basket

I'm obsessed. I volunteered to put together the gift baskets for the NCHS membership luncheon silent auction. So, of course, every one of them has to be perfect. Not big. Just perfect. So I shop at the grocery store. I shop at Ross Dress-for-Less. I shop here at home and discover that I moved stuff from the old house that I can now easily part with. Fancy that....

Otherwise, a million little things every day. Just like real life.

Miss Maizie Jane Valentine had a short visit at Dr. Cherbinsky's office this morning to give him (reluctantly, I'm sure) another urine sample. Something is still amiss. The in-house lab culture grew some unknown something. The urine sample today did not look good. Cloudy. A less than wonderful color. The good news is that she at least seems to feel pretty decent. So, we'll await the culture results from the Big Lab.

There was something else interesting to report, but I can't remember what it was. Apparently, not that interesting after all.

Had some more of that pot roast for dinner tonight. With a new batch of celery, potatoes and carrots. Do pot roasts go on forever???

Are you the Sally who was the Wisconsin Union president in the early 70's? If so, I'm the Sally who was the student clerical help and occasionally took care of your cats when you were gone. I like your blog. It seems we both still like cooking, traveling and cats! I have 3 and volunteer at our local MSPCA (very cool shelter). I hear you on gift baskets as I've made my share for our auctions and festivals.

Oh goodness, yes! That's me! We did get that volunteering bug permanently implanted in us back at the WU, didn't we?! What a wonderful thing! I've never regretted it. I'm finding that those values are emerging in my heart and my life more and more as I get older. Yeah, well, some of us mature later than others.... I'm so glad you found my blog! One of these days I'll get organized enough to add photos.
