Chelsea and I woke up to fresh snow on the ground. It wasn't much but there it was. At least, it covered up the black grim that was showing on the old fading snowdrifts.
We got to stay home most of the day. I made a lemon merengue "soup". The pie did not set well at all. I am hoping that chilling it will make it easier to serve tomorrow and the next day. It tastes really good but I should have gotten out my old tried and true recipe.
It is St. Valentines Day. I fixed a wonderful t bone steak for our lunch. It was SO good. We have not had a steak for a long time. That with a salad, garlic bread and salad made a super Valentine Dinner.
I vacuumed the bedroom and den today too. Dick had his bath. That is quite an adventure. we are still working out the kinks on that.
I went to church at 4PM. It was a nice service and now I can stay home ALL day tomorrow. As I was listening to the readings I remembered our discussion at Bible Study of the readings. We talked about the miracles that Jesus performed while he was living. We came to the conclusion that the miracles were not his mission. He kept telling the people he healed not to tell anybody because he was wanting the people to listen to his message, not think he was a magician or something. He performed the miracles because he was a kind, human person and sometimes when people would plead with him for healing, he just could not resist helping them - because - he knew he could. But he wanted people to hear his message. I like that idea.
Today, I went into AOL and was listening to the voice saying "You've got mail." It reminded me of a message that Jim put on my computer years ago that said in a really seductive male voice. "I love the way you turn me on." Jim finally took it off because he said it made him feel icky. Not me.
Have a lovely Sunday. I talked to Suzi today, because I was worried about her. She sounded good and her surgery went very well. With any luck at all, she will come home tomorrow.
Love

A busy Friday.
Started at about 6:30AM. We got ourselves up, fed and cleaned up before I had to leave for Sheboygan. I had an appointment with my friend Mark Mueller, an accountant, who does our taxes for us. He said they should be very easy this year. I just hope we are set as far as deductions and that we do not owe anything. It would be nicer to get somethign back but I would be happy to break even. I had not seen Mark in about a year. We were in Optimists together back when I was a member. Sara and Nora would remember that he was the guy that we ran into when we went to the JC's haunted house.
Then home. I cleaned the kitchen floor and fixed dinner and took a nap. Tomorrow, I am going to make a lemon merengue pie. So I mixed up the pie crust today. My pie crust can be refrigerated and used later. Lemon merengue pie sounded like a good dessert for St. Valentine's Day. I also have a nice Tbone steak for our dinner.
Today we had salmon croquets. We DO like them. I also had some nice fresh strawberries.
Tonight I went to Rhine to shoot a couple of targets. Some of my CWI members, Toni and Janet were there, so I visited a bit with them.
Bobbie, Tom Lawonn, cut his hair. I went to purchase my targets and he looked different. It is amazing but you can see it from the front. He said Lynn Reich cut it for him. I told him he looked very handsome.
Jerry Coenen tried to collect $260 from me because he said that I was the clincher for his wife deciding to take up pistol shooting and he had to buy her a gun. I am really getting excited. We have really expanded our pistol league and several are women. Makes it a lot of fun.
I am terrible this year. Don't know whether it is because I am not concentrating, I shoot too fast or my arm hurts. BUT Ken and Lil Pipping have volunteered to give Nancy and me some pointers and help us. I plan on taking them up on that. Perhaps, now that Lil is retired, we could do it some afternoon during the week.
Anyway, tomorrow should be quite uneventful. I certainly hope so as a day or two of quiet would be a real blessing around here. Of cours, tomorrow morning Dick will have his shower. Always an event.

This was a busy but fun day. Chelsea did not wake me up this morning at all. I finally got up myself at 6:30. She and I went for a very nice walk. We saw one of the regular walkers that we run into in reasonable weather. He waved at us. Maybe things will get back to normal soon. We walked down two cul de sacs. I think we need to build up before going the two miles or so we used to.
Dick got up at about 8AM. We got him bathed and dressed and fed in time for me to go over to Kate's at 9:30 or so. She and I went to Hobby Lobby to pick up the things that we need for the Doll Making that I will be having here next Tuesday afternoon. We got the dowels and bases and the fiberfill. Kate picked up some little doo dads for decorating the dolls. I also found a shamrock shaped cake pan. I can hardly wait to try that. This weekend is Valentine's Day. I picked up a tbone steak on Wednesday for us to have for our dinner that day and I will be baking a lemon merengue pie for us too. Dick had mentioned that he was hungry for lemon merengue pie.
Kate and I finished shopping in time to stop at Culvers for some lunch to take home for the three of us. Kate, Dick and me. Kate and Dick had cheeseburgers and I had a tuna sandwich. Then we had to leave for Dick's therapy. Kate and I dropped him off with Lori and then I took Kate home.
Dick's therapy went quite well. When we got home I took a nap. It was not nearly long enough. But it helped.
Since then I have been trying to put things away. It amazes me how "stuff" accumulates and how it gets scattered all around this house. We received the two wheelchair cushions that I ordered for Dick's wheel chair. One has to be filled up. That is a tomorrow job. I am way to tired tonight. The other we put right on the chair and he is not complaining so far.
Did I tell you that when I was out walking Chelsea the other afternoon, I saw a flying bug. I really did a double take. Who would expect living flying bugs in February?
Tomorrow is tax day for us. I want to get that in to Mark ASAP. This weekend is quiet. We have nothing scheduled at all, except for Mass on Saturday evening. I intend to try to rest and recuperate. Next week has filled up rather nicely also.
Guess that is all for today.
Take care and pray for Suzi who is in the hospital and needs healing prayers.

What a day. Why is it that everything always gets scheduled for the same day?
I got up at my usual time, shortly after 6 AM. There are all the morning things to do. Then Dick had to be at the Plymouth Clinic at 9:30 to have his coagulation levels checked. That went well. We got there and as I was getting him into a wheel chair, one of the ladies who greet and direct people came out and took Dick into the clinic and up to the second floor while I parked the car.
People are really good and I am learning that when they ask if they can help, I let them help.
The visit was successful. His reading was 2.41. Which is PERFECT. It is supposed to be between 2 and 3. Last time it was 3.1 so we had to come in a bit sooner. Now we are scheduled for a month from now.
When we got home, I immediately went grocery shopping. I was home in time to fix a chef's salad for Dick's lunch before heading into Sheboygan Falls. Today was the quarterly lunch with the Class of 58. We have decided to meet for lunch every three months. Just whoever is in town and wants to be there. Today we met at the Villager. I had a black bean sandwich. It was piled on with guacamole, red onions and tomatoes and was really good. Way to much. I brought half of it home.
When I got home, Dick was sleeping, so I did a few things and then laid down for a short rest myself. I had to leave again shortly after 5 to pick up Mother. We drove to Nino's to meet Bobbie for dinner. Two of my favorite people. We all had fish of some sort. I had shrimp, Bobbie, salmon and Mother, haddock. Fully stuffed, we topped off the evening with the Sheboygan Theatre's production of Our Town. It was a wonderful performance. It is a shame that the dramas are not as well attended as the musicals and the comedies. I am glad that Ralph puts them on anyway as the arts are so important and these classics need to be preserved. We all loved it.
There was a line in the play talking about the people in the town and the arts in the town. The "Stage Manager" the lead player who narrated the entire play said something to the effect that there were two girls in town who played the piano at public gatherings. Then, as an aside, he said, " But they don't like it much."
It reminded me of Bret's graduation from 8th grade. The ceremony was very impressive up until the end when the entire class was to sing a song together about moving forward and growing and all that stuff. Well. They had worked very hard on that song, at least the teachers had. The kids did not like the song. I don't know why.
So the pianist began playing. And she played, and she played. Eventually, I and some of the other members of the audience picked up a slight murmur along with the beautiful piano playing. I leaned over to my husband and whispered. "They're singing." He did a double take and said. "They are?" And they were.
In their defense, they really hated the song. Every child in that class when they got their cue just kind of murmured or mouthed the words or didn't even bother. It was truly one of the most bazaar things I ever experienced.
After the ceremony was over, I said "Great Song", to one of the teachers. He just rolled his eyes and said they would never have a song the kids did not approve of again. He was a great teacher and actually laughing about it.
Have a great Thursday. It has to be quieter than today.

We are watching the Westminster Dog Show. We LOVE watching that. We probably will have to go bed before it is over, but can leave it on in the bedroom and just maybe, we will see who is the winner. They are now finishing up the sporting dogs.
We had a busy day.
We had to be at the Plymouth Center at 10AM to meet Tim from National Prosthesis for a check on the fitting of the prosthesis. Tim is pleased with the progress so far and is looking forward to helping us get a proper shoe for the right foot to keep it healed and strong. We got home at about 11:30 in time for me to prepare lunch and then we both took a short nap.
I got a haircut at 2:30 and then went to the grocery store to do part of tomorrows shopping (tomorrow is getting WAY to full) and to the drug store to pick up Mom's prescription. While there, I got a few OTC med and aids that Dick needed.
Monday is the Cream City Writers meeting. Every meeting we leave with an exercise for everybody. All those who are in attendance give a word and everyone tries to write a poem or a short paragraph using all of the words that are thrown out. Sometimes they are really unrelated and it can be quite a challenge. I FINALLY called my friend Peggy today and got them from her. They at least have some connection and are pleasant (not like "pickled herring") which showed up last month. Now I have to get to work. I did do a couple of small poems this month on my own and have three contests that I have decided to enter. They have three different deadlines starting with March 1 and the last on May 15 so I can make some goals. Even reasonable goals. I must start scheduling time for myself that way. I need to do some sewing/quilting too. This all will come.
Mr. Oscar just jumped up into my lap for a cuddle. As I wind this down, it will be time to begin getting ready for bed. It is beautiful outside. The wind which blew strong today has died down and the temperatures are very pleasant. My only complaint is that all the melting snow is making the streets just black and guess who is a magnet for black. I HAD to give Chelsea and emergency bath this morning and tonight when we went out she brought in footprints of grime. She was not happy with me but I had to clean her paws again.
Tomorrow will be a social day for me. I am meeting my high school classmates for lunch and then Bobbie, Mother and I are going to have dinner at Nino's and then go to Horace Mann for the Sheboygan Theater's production of Our Town. I don't think I have ever seen it live. I did see a TV version of it years ago. Should be interesting.

Spring must be close. Our Joe, a bible study participant, is wearing sandals again. During the cold of winter, he actually started wearing sneakers but he said now that it is actually freezing or above, he is back to the sandals. A brave man.
We had some interesting discussions about the readings. Two of them involved leprosy which is now almost a forgotten disease as it can be cured and is virtually eliminated from most parts of the world. The first reading was from Leviticus which was the prescription for determining if a person had leprosy and then how the leper was supposed to behave including rending his clothes, living alone "outside of the camp" and calling "Unclean, Unclean" when anyone approached him. It seems so primitive and cruel, but of course, this contagious, awful disease was frightening and they did not know how else to deal with it. One wonders what this rending of the clothes was though.
Had a nice visit with Mother. She sure enjoyed the Wild Game Dinner and was SO pleased, as were we all, that Kathy finally won the beer tasting contest. She said that Bing came over Sunday morning and walked with her over to church in the morning. What a gal. We are so lucky to have her as a member of the family. Thanks Stenn.
I got home in time to prepare lunch and get Dick over to the Center for his therapy. He was really tired and achy today but did VERY well with the standing and his other exercises. We were so glad to be home again and done for the day.
We both rested for a while but I still feel very tired.
I have a Roxie kitty on my desk, lolling under the desk lamp looking very content. She is such an affectionate little thing. Usually if I lie down on the couch in the living room for a nap, she gets all excited and comes to join me. She either sleeps on my side or on the back of the couch. She just likes being close.
I DID fix the BLT soup for supper tonight. Sure is good.
Tomorrow is a light day. Dick has therapy in the morning and I am getting a hair cut in the afternoon. It is supposed to be really warm, all the way up into the 50s. That should bring those snow drifts down.
Take care and enjoy the heat wave.
Love
Mary

Today was a Dick and Mary day. The only commitment was my going to the 10:45AM Mass.
Dick slept until after 8AM. His night was not too good, but at least he got that early morning rest. We had breakfast, I showered and took care of the critters.
Church was nice. It was a special day for two cub scouts. This was Boy Scout Sunday and two cubs got a special Catholic award today. I love seeing the little people. We also had a deacon co officiating at the Mass. He was a classmate of Deacon Leo Mugan who passed away last year. Leo's wife Rosemary is a dear friend and member of CWI.
Leftovers for dinner and soup and sandwich for dinner made the day very easy. Dick seems exhausted today and is achy. We think part of the problem is the wheelchair seat. I have ordered two new cushions. They should be better than the one he has now. We are keeping the prosthesis on for as much of the day as possible. This is a very important part of the process. He is finding it helpful to transport himself from the chair to the bed or the toilet. Two legs work pretty good. Tomorrow I will change the pad on his foot again. So far so good.
The only work I did today, except for maintenance was to get things ready for taxes. Tomorrow I will call for an appointment. Sure be glad to get that done with.
So we had a quiet day for a change. Tomorrow will be rather busy, Bible Study, Mother and therapy. So I am going to bed at 8:30 to be rested and ready to go.
Tomorrow I will be making BLT Soup for supper. I don't think I told you that recipe. It is really simple and really good.
BLT Soup
6 slices bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, sliced
2 (13 3/4 oz.) cans chicken or beef broth
1 (14 1/4 oz.) can peeled tomatoes, undrained and cut up
2 TBLSP steak sauce
2 cups shredded iceburg lettuce
In large saucepan, cook bacon until crisp; remove and crumble bacon. Pour oiff all but 2 TBLSP drippings. Cook onion in reserved drippings for 2-3 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes and steak sauce. Heat to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add letuce; simmer 2 minutes. Stir in bacon.
Makes 4 to 6 servings. Really Yummy.
