Party's over

Saturday night's social gathering was a lot of fun--seeing old friends from our now closed church, catching up on their lives and their kids lives was great. We had about 15 people, so it was a nice sized group, although I have to say I was disappointed that more people didn't come--but illness was a factor for many. We also had about 35 people at our house last night for Inga's presentation on Moldova. She made some delicious food--a kind of a hash wrapped in cooked cabbage leaves, and baked apples filled with caramel and nuts. We hung a sheet for a screen, and she showed photos with Tim's laptop and a borrowed video projector. Her friend Gamze from Turkey also had a nice video/computer presentation. Luke even brought up his speaker and a microphone, so we could hear Gamze over the background music from the video. Gamze made a delightful Turkish pudding dessert and something pumpkin as well.

Now this morning I'm off to the doctor. I didn't eat a whole lot last night and I ran around quite a bit this weekend getting ready for everything, but the A1c blood test covers 3 months time for blood sugar--so, that includes Halloween and........other times of snacking.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up too, tough times for me as a diabetic. I'm seeing a new doctor today, so we'll see if that changes things or not.

Till next time,
