We had a true spring day today. It was 55 degrees at its peak and I wore my jean jacket to shoot at Rhine tonight. The pistol range in the basement was actually not a deep freeze for the first time since before the first of the year. This has indeed been a LONG winter.

This morning Dick and I did a bit of shopping. We needed prescriptions, a couple of things to complete the shower basket for Sarah's wedding shower etc. We were home by 10 and just in time to greet Jim and Michelle returning from Jim's visit to HIS doctor to remove the stints in his nose. He looked tired but still good. He is recovering very well. Dick and I bought him flowers today. Dick always found flowers comforting and wanted his son to have them as he is recovering from the surgery. We visited for a while then Dick and I had to get ready to take HIM to Sheboygan Memorial for HIS procedure. (What is it with these Kunert men lately).

This was a breeze though. Dr. Siddique did a Sclerotherapy procedure which is apparently much less invasive than the lazer. They put a chemical in the vein to eliminate it and wrapped the leg in an ace bandage. The remaining procedures will be like this and much easier to deal with. We are really delighted. It has been such a long road to travel. I am seeing an end. I hope that all of this combined with the newly prescribed therapy will provide some strength to his legs.

When we got home I was exhausted and laid down for an hour. Sometimes I just am DONE. The hour was all I needed. Then I worked on dinner and took a quick run over to Kate's to confer on stuff for the Spring Fling.

We ate a bit early as Nancy and I drove out to Rhine to shoot pistol league. I did not do as well as last week but it was not bad. Nancy did pretty well too so we are happy campers.

I fixed salmon with fresh green beans and rice for supper. Num Num.

Chelsea is staring at me. She is trying to tell me that it is way past our bedtime. She is even starting to whimper a little bit so I know she is very serious. SO. I guess it is time to sign off for the evening. Have a loverly weekend. It should be very nice for us. I enjoy Dick's family and will see them at the shower tomorrow.

All my love

Mary
