Kale revisited


I slept in a little because I was up so late last night. (It is just so hard to tell the computer "Good Night"). Michele had already left for school (her first day back). Actually I was awakened by the sound of a phone ringing. I thought it was Chris's phone, but when I called him, he had it. My phone showed that I had missed a call from Michele. When I got a hold of her, she said one of the buses she rides to college got canceled and wanted me to find her another one. But I was ready to leave for the thrift shop, so I told her we'd do it later (she was already at the campus). I walked to post and was thrilled to discover that the car started. I drove to the thrift shop. It took me just over 2 hours to clear out the books, DVD's, video and PC games that had accumulated. Actually I threw out a lot of the games because they were for 95/98 systems. Then I walked over to the AnC center to watch Cathy show some other ladies how to longarm a QOV. Around 3 we all left, and I went to the SPC to drop off a quilt backing that I had washed, and pick up some QOV projects to finish. Then I stopped by the commissary to get several bunches of kale. I parked by the gate and walked home. I ate an avocado and washed all the kalem then sat down at my computer. Soon Chris came home and fixed supper. Then Michele came home. I tossed the kale with oil and vinegar and put it in the oven while Chris watched the last Hornblower movie. I made about 4 batches. But for some reason it wasn't quite as good as the other night. Sprinkling it with garlic powder did help. I went back to the computer to finish listening to audios and follow interesting links. I didn't get to them all, but I did learn that many diseases are actually the body's way of reacting to and healing from an emotional shock. It's called GNM, German New Medicine. Google it, because it is a fascinating concept.
