A little set back...

Where are we today ?
New Hamburg Ontario


        Well all looked pretty good until this morning when Suzie's mom had to go back into surgery for a minor adjustment, a small blood clot had to be removed from the drainage tube. So a bunch of them went into the hospital and waited for results.


        Meanwhile, Omer and I are at the farm waiting and keeping busy doing stuff that needs to be done. Cooked up some garlic farmers sausage and sauerkraut, threw together a salad along with some leftover potatoes so people can grab a bite whenever need be.

        Then I checked the oil and fuelled up the Grasshopperhopped on and played around cutting some more grass, for a couple hours now that we have had a tiny bit of rain.

         Now later on was hungry so I grabbed a sausage on a bun, w/sauerkraut and a tossed salad. Then we went back to town to visit mother in law again to see how she was doing. Recovery will take a while so we will do what we can.

An interesting view on being a Geezer was posted on Phannie and Mae's Blog, and I can relate to all these items, can you? Click here to see if you can relate. Thanks for the referral from Al of the Bayfield Bunch. 

        A quick note on the Mennonite Relief Sale last weekend it brought in $335,000.00 for the Ministries of the Mennonite Central Committee. Thank you to all who helped and/or contributed.

        Glad you could drop by again.

  1. Sounds like the sale was a huge success!! Setbacks aren't fun but it's good the clot was found and taken care of. Hopefully, everything else will be smooth sailing.

  2. That is very serious! I am sure she is resting again but unsettled as is the rest of the family. Hugs to you all and special thoughts and prayers.

  3. I think I was the only one in our family who never liked Saurkraut but farmer's sausage works for me every time. I do have some Mennonite lineage on my Mother's side. Gasho's from up around Zurich many years ago.

  5. Sorry to hear about the set back, our thought and prayers continue for her recovery. The relief sale sounded very successful. Can't wait to get to BC in a few weeks and get some good Garlic Sausage especially after seeing your plate.

  6. Sure hope that's the last 'little setback' Suzie's mother has and hope she's back home soon.

    Wow, that was some haul from the Mennonite sale!

    1. For sure we don't need anymore setbacks.
      I believe the sales were actually down a bit from last year but still not too shabby.
