Chugging along

We have been doing the ordinary things of everyday life so nothing earth shattering to report.

Russ stopped by last night and says he will be here Saturday...unless it is raining.

Butch is getting some pre-cancerous areas burned off of his face this morning. That may slow him down a bit. Maybe, just maybe. Might need to stay out of the sun until it heals a bit.

I had an echocardiogram yesterday. Have not seen the results yet but expect it to be okay. I had forgotten how long those take- 45 minutes to an hour. Geez!

The river is down a little from where it was a few days ago.

We had unstuffed cabbage rolls for supper last night. I gave it 5 stars last time I made it and the 5 stars still stand. It is yummy!!
