My elbow was very painful when it came time for bed. I tried getting comfortable, but after a sudden excruciating shooting pain down the arm I headed to the freezer. The bag of kraut (double bagged) worked well to cradle the elbow--it was quite effective. Surprisingly it stayed froze most of the night, though a slight odor of kraut permeated the room by morning.
Now...about yesterday. Early last week I had emailed a short article to our local paper with an announcement about my new CD and a goodbye message to the people of the area.
The editor sent one back and said he wanted to have their reporter do a feature article on me. Sure!
She came yesterday with her list of questions about how long have I've lived in Park Falls; what will I miss about the area; what inspired the songs I composed; what was the process involved in composing and producing the CD?
It was fun to converse with her. She took this picture for the paper. I hadn't intended to have a full blown article in the paper, but I am excited to see and read what she wrote.
I looked into and decided to go with a moving company from Wausau, WI. This was VERY last minute. They came in with a good quote that makes it possible to go easy on my sons. They were willing to pack my things, drive 1,900 miles in 2 and 1/2 days, unpack, jump into an airplane to fly home the next day and be back to their jobs on Monday. Thanks, guys. I am grateful for this development. Still need to continue to downsize and pack. (I found $50 while cleaning out a shelf. Hope I stashed more---lots more.)
This evening was entertaining watching the summer Olympics while sorting out mounds of paper stuff. Go, team USA!! We are proud of you!
This has been a good "hurrah for sauerkraut" day in the life of Grandma G.
