Full soup
October 28, 2006 (12:40pm)
41º F, Very windy sunshine, NW wind 13 mph, 30 mph gusts.
Good afternoon,
When I build a soup - there is a lot of stuff in it. This time it is beef soup that I added a lot too. It is nice to have the dried vegetables Margriet dried some time ago. A handful of dried tomatoes, mushrooms along with a bunch of dried green peppers. Also put some carrots and celery in too. I put in about one handful of noodles too much though. Well not really as we like them, but it looks more like noodle soup that beef/vegetable soup. I do taste good though.
Margriet is not up to par today. Not sure what happened, but half way through breakfast, she started to have a hard time swallowing her food and her stomach felt weird to her. After devotions this morning, she laid down for a nap and just woke up a bit ago. She feels much better now and is getting wet in the shower at the moment. Hope what ever she had is gone for the duration.
The wind is really roaring out today. Sounds really worse than it actually is for some reason. Will take walk around the place later to see if there are any trees down. Would not surprise me at all. There are some wind advisories up for the lake shore, but south of here. Seems those folks who live south of here have been getting a lot more weather than we have for some reason. They have had rain and wind several days, where we have not. The temperature yesterday, and it looks like it today too, actually rose to the "normal" temperature - at least in Green Bay. Along the lake shore here, it was some cooler. That’s OK with me. Yesterday was a beautiful day. Hope we get more of them.
A couple of days ago, I opened up the webcam for the new construction in Enschede ( http://cms3.enschede.nl/toerisme/De_stad/muziekkwartier/ ) and was some surprised. There actually was some work going on! The past time I spent looking at basically a concrete floor slab and one, what I thought was poured concrete, outer wall up. Turns out to be concrete panels put into place on edge. The past couple of days, more panels were put up and now there are also rooms and such on the slab, plus a couple more outer walls in place. There still are not a lot of folks working on the site. The most I have seen is four. But there are some who drive the trucks delivering the panels and at least one off camera is sitting high in a boom crane, lifting and placing the panels. All you can see of him is a really big snatch block and a couple of cables. It is interesting to watch though.
The other webcam ( http://cms3.enschede.nl/toerisme/De_stad/eivanko/ ) of the square, has also had some construction going on, but appears to be finished now. The pavement, made from paving blocks, needed some adjustment for some reason. All they seemed to do was lift some of the pavers, re-pack the footings, then put the pavers back in place again. I continue to be amazed at the few folks needed there to do the various construction projects. Also how few barricades, signs, large equipment, or disruption of normal activities there is in the areas of construction. Maybe we could learn something from the Dutch!
Tomorrow "I" am supposed to bring snacks for church. With Margriet down today, "we" decided not to bake something, but rather raid our stock of "store bought" snacks we have in the cupboard. Hope they like grits and oatmeal! Fortunately it is a small number of folks at the service usually, so we probably will have enough. Not what we really like to do however. We both are also ushers tomorrow too. At least we get most of it out of the way in one day.
Don’t think we will go trick or treating this year, but only watch for some spooks flying through the trees here.
Time to get a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
