Monday November 12 2007

A gorgeous sunny morning. Powdered sugar frosting on the hill tops. About 10 degrees early this morning. Debbie's a busy bee with cleaning, changing sheets and going to make spagetti for dinner. She's taking the mail out to the box for a short break and getting out. She had to scrape a lot of ice off her car.

Joe has gone to town to get a letter notarized and will take the old blue chair to Fred. A lot of the guys go to Fred's snowmachine shop to have coffee around the stove so that's a good place for the extra chair. Kind of reminds me about the men sitting on cracker barrels around the wood stove in the olden days. Well he found out after he got in to town that the bank and post office were closed, so that means we won't get mail here today either. We had all forgotten about this being the legal holiday.

Today is a step in recovery by starting to take my pain medicine every eight hours instead of every six. I've been stretching the time longer between doses for a while now, so this is good. Today Debbie and I went out for a real walk, not far, but the first one since I've been home other than just wandering around. The dogs loved it. I am supposed to be walking 5 or 10 minutes three or four times a day. I tried yesterday, but it never quit raining.

Tomorrow Laurie and Millie are coming to pack up a lot of the books and may stay for lunch.

Nice to visit again today. Can you walk circles around in the house, to get in you ten minute walks? That ought to give Sparky and Raven something to wonder about.

We're getting rain and winds today. High about 50. If you get a chance tell me how the pork loin was braised in milk, sound good and different. Kisses for Sparky and Raven, Wish I had some of Deb's energy. Say HI to Joe. Love, Nancy
