Ducks on East Fork

Its about 7 p.m. and I'm pooped. Probably because just haven't been getting much sleep. Yesterday Bonnie thoughtfully brought me over a homeopathic sleep remedy, angelica in lotion to rub on the bottom of your feet. And I tried it last night but it didn't work yet. I'll keep trying it and see it it might build up a little and be effective.

Today was absolutely beautiful although still pretty cold - it could be worse. It might have finally reached 34, but most of the day was below freezing. Just no wind.

Today we went out to Bonnie and Craig's leaving here about 9:45 a.m. they had us to lunch. Craig and Joe drove on out to the ranch to feed the cats, and said the road is great all the way in to the house. They saw Smokey the all gray cat and said she was really fat. Bonnie fixed us chicken enchiladas that were delicious with the toppings and chips. And she had unusual and yummy orange brownies for dessert. I loved those. Never had seen such a thing. Usual visiting went on, and then we went home - I think got back at about 1:30.

They came on in to town and stopped by here. Craig and Joe fixed the garage door and it should be permanently good now. He gave us an extra door opener that he had, and programed it so we each have one in our vehicle now. He also fixed the back door so it latches. I can't remember what else they did. Bonnie and I got to visit together some more. Jim Allen finally came back over and finished sealing off the foundation with caulking of some kind. It didn't take him very long so that's done now. Soon after they left I went on down to the clinic and for the first time waited about an hour before they took me back to flush the picc line. In fact, I went to sleep and had a nap for a while. Then I went to the grocery and drug store. Fixed our dinner, fed the boys and I'm ready for bed if not to sleep.

Tomorrow we are having our Mixed Media painting meeting at Rendezvous Pointe and lunch there. I was going to get all my stuff ready tonight, but now I'm going to do it in the morning. And not sure if I'll do pastels or oils.

I'm missing Duene's blog - guess she's having some computer trouble. Hope everything else is o.k. with her.
