Yesterday we had a very dark wet day pretty much all day. I managed to get a walk in on Thursday but missed it yesterday entirely. This morning we had a window of sunshine and Butch went with me for our walk. He kept wanting to cut it short. I said we could've really cut it short and stayed home!! It always feels good to get that walk done for the day. Clouds are once again rolling in so outdoor activity is likely done for this Saturday.

Drug Interactions

Here is a great website where you can list all the meds you are taking (even OTC drugs) & get a report on whether or not any of them interact badly with each other.

Computin'

We are still in Carthage Missouri, waiting for parts. We are paid up for another week so we are taking care of a myriad of little tasks. Feels rather good to get things caught up and taken care of. The parts we are waiting for are a new automatic sensor for the awning, a new leveling jack to replace one that leaked a little and a new radio because the other one would only play about 6 tracks on a CD before giving us an error message. I have been getting inquiries as to what we are doing and where we are so figured I best do some catching up with the blog. It is GREAT to hear from those of you who wonder about us and fill me in on your activities.

Red Monks Cloth-Southwest Memory Pattern using Turquoise, Black and white Yarn

Vern and Dorothy Wendt, full timing friends we met at Magnolia Park a few years ago, were here for a couple of days getting some things fixed on their Kountry Star. We went out to eat at Dowds Catfish House in Joplin last night. It was very pleasant having the time to visit with friends.

Pull Tab Belts

I have been going for a three plus mile walk every day but the rain and cold the last few days has put the kabosh to that. While I am walking I pick up cans to get the pulltabs. I suffer guilt from not picking up the whole can but I could not carry all I find. You would think someone would be picking them up since aluminum is selling for seventy cents a pound now but no one seems to do it. I have only had one mild dog incident and my spray bottle of ammonia sufficiently discouraged the “puppies”.

Reading a book...always

I have finished one book “Songs My Father Taught Me” by Marcia Rose and started another two, Up Island and Low Country by Anne Rivers Siddon.

Clean ceiling fan

Butch has been taking care of many little maintenance type chores as well and we have purchased a drawer for one of the bins in the basement to make it easier to get at stored items. It will be a bigger project to get it installed but I am sure he is up for it. He may wait till he gets to Gary's so he has help. He says I am not the kind of help he wants and he is right. I am not good at standing there like a faithful puppy listening to him cuss. I would rather be busy doing my own projects.

It is a done deal!!

This afghan was finished last weekend.

What have I been doing lately? I have been finishing unfinished projects. This shawl was finished this weekend.

Ray Thompson from Atlantic IA sent this picture of tulips in their yard. They sure POP!
