My day at home was only broken once. We did have to swing on over to Piggly Wiggly to pick up some more gauze and tape for Dick's legs and I had to buy a sympathy card for my brother in law Keith and his wife Joy.

Dick's legs are still very slender but still have several tender spots on them so we will be washing them in the special soap as directed and keeping them wrapped.

We hung a few more pictures and Dick almost has the telephone table we bought for the downstairs bedroom assembled. So it was a busy day, but still rather mellow. Good thing because we have two visits to the clinic scheduled for Dick tomorrow. I told him I think that we are single handedly keeping that place going this week.

Oh Yes. Chelsea had her bath today. It works just fine in the master shower. She is just gorgeous now. Hope I can keep her looking this good until the wedding is over.

I don't think I told you that I somehow or other left my camera in the seat of the Hallamor at the Irish Center. I emailed the director immediately and Monday Kristine emailed me back that they had indeed found it and she is mailing it back to me. She is actually sending it priority mail and wrapped in a black tshirt to avoid ruining the pictures. I had faith that in that setting I would probably get it back and my faith was rewarded. I will even have it in time for the wedding. We are going to send a donation in thanks to the Irish Center as soon as I get it and know how much they had to spend to get it back to me. Want the donation to match the costs plus some for the kindness.

We had chili burgers for supper tonight. Haven't fixed them for a long time and they sure did taste good. I also mixed up a pot of cabbage and other veggies for a Cabbage Chowder. Cabbage, carrots, potatoes cooked in water with salt,pepper and sugar. It smells wonderful. All I have to do is add the milk and butter and heat before serving. I may add some of my frozen corn too.

Dick and Brenda are coming Friday night. We will look forward to the time with them.

In Ireland they say that "when the sun sets in the Atlantic it rises in the land of our ancestors."
