Today was not as planned. Dick has had a pain in his back, in the kidney area, for a few days. He told me about it on Saturday. It was still persistent and he had a slight fever this morning so he got an appointment with a physician Assistant as Dr. Sharon is out of town for the week. So far the tests have not shown an infection so we are treating the pain and resting a lot. Pray that the final test also shows nothing. Though that will also be a puzzle. What is causing it!

So, I spent the bulk of the day cleaning and sewing. I vacuumed the office. The carpet is Chelsea filthy and we WILL have to clean it soon, but it is discouraging as she keeps drooling a path between us. We tried a runner but it kept moving and became a danger for Dick as he shuffles. Oh Well, we will just have to keep working on it.

The binding on the tree quilt is almost complete. I should be able to finish it tomorrow, THEN the trees have to be appliqued on or it won't be a tree quilt after all.

We are now watching the Packer game. It is at the half and is already after 9PM. I am not going to make it. Soon, Chelsea will get her last outside of the evening and I will go to bed and TRY to watch the end of it there.

Just for fun - A comparison

LADIES- To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag
with the potatoes.

REAL WOMEN- Buy boxed mashed potato mix and you don't have to
worry about the potatoes growing arms and legs.
