We are blessed with a great family. Those who could come came to wish Far Guy a Happy Birthday. We ate lunch and then an early supper. Every one was here except for our oldest daughter Trica, youngest Grandson Adam, Paige’s husband Cole and Noah’s wife Hanna.
Happy Birthday Far Guy! You have had a tough year but you have survived to celebrate another birthday here with me! I am thankful for the Doctors and Nurses that helped you get through the year.
AND Sadie she helped you too!
Far Side
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentines's Day spent with those you love!
I sent bags with heart shaped boxes of candy and other treats for the Great Grandchildren. Their Valentine boxes went to their Daycare, at school everyone makes their own Valentine boxes.
Minnesota weather on Friday: Partly cloudy High was 37F or 3C the Low was 25 or -3C eh!
We ventured out to return an item to wally world and to pick up the last of the snapshots I ordered for the Photo Album Project for 2026!
Supper was no cooking only warming up leftovers!
Far Side
We had a nice sunny day here..just about half the air temperature of Belize.
Jen sent this photo from the resort in Belize.
Thursday Far Guy had his weekly infusion, I went to Walmart Pickup, Aldi and Hobby Lobby and still waited for him in the parking lot. All four medical appointments are done for the week...Friday is our day off! Next week we have four appointments...mostly me for a change of pace. Taking turns I guess.
I am tweeking the last of the photographs to be printed for the photo albums I have been working on...I can see the end in sight!
Happy Birthday today to our nieces Katie and Bethany!
Far Side
Cats...or Cataracts, Far Guy has them and surgeries have been scheduled. He is a bit bummed out that one appointment yielded five more appointments. Can't say I blame him but I know he will be happier when he can see clearly again!
We had lunch with my other baby brother and she who sees robins first as they were passing through town to visit Katie for her upcoming 44th birthday in Western North Dakota. Happy Birthday Katie!
Minnesota weather: High 30F or -1C Low was 21F or -6C. Partly cloudy day.
3D print of a cat for Cee Cee's Valentine box. I painted the eyes and put a bit of color on the nose and the inside of the ears. Andy will put it all together..the cat will be peeking out of a cardboard box. It is amazing what that 3D printer can do!
Here is the completed Valentine box. The heart is also a 3 D print.
Far Side
Tuesdays are usually quiet days as Sadie is in Doggie Daycare. She was happy to see us when she came home.
Far Guy drove me to the grocery store, we picked up a prescription, got gas and a car wash. The car looks blue again instead of a grey blue.
We made pork chops, rice and green beans for supper. We made the green beans with bacon and a bit of vinegar just the way the guys will eat them.
Far Guy was a bit hoarse yesterday from the biopsy on Monday. He says it hurts a bit too.
Not much snow in the fields between Grand Forks and Fargo. The West side of the road has drifts of black soil. We were thankful for no blowing snow this time around...not that there is too much to blow around.
Gas prices are fluctuating from $2.29 to $2.49 and we saw one station today that was $2.23
Far Guy had a number of biopsies of the two nodules inside his Thyroid gland...results may take up to a week. Now we wait.
I made chili for supper and grilled cheese sandwiches. The guys did all the dishes. Jen is on Vacation in Belize.
Minnesota weather: High was 39 F or 4C Low was 23F or -5C eh! Nice weather for February!
Far Side
Creativity is alive and well this Valentine's week! Jen helps the Great grandchildren with Valentine boxes every year. They choose their own design and help with some of the design pieces.
There was lots of paper crimping going on the night they visited here. I helped to put Hey Mikey's Valentine box together.
Interesting what can be made out of a cardboard box, tissue paper and crimped paper. There is slot at the top amongst the dollops of sour cream!
Far Side
I finished the two dish towels my Mom left for me to do. I started on some of my own stamped designs that have been languishing in my embroidery box for a while.
Nice to have some completed projects.
We had a quiet day, in the afternoon we watched Flipped it was a good movie. Toward evening the Great Grandchildren were here to liven up the place! Andy made loaded nachos for supper.
Far Side
The February read was a good one. Recommended by my daughter Jen. I give it an almost perfect score of 9.75 I would have given it a 10 but it is a very loooong book.
Chris Whitaker is the author of All the Colors of the Dark
Is is a historical crime mystery with a touch of hope ...that is the best way I can describe it.
Far Guy had his stress test yesterday...it was a three hour appointment...it must have went well as they released him to come home. I came back to Andy and Jens and caught up with laundry and cleaned a bathroom while he was at the hospital.
Supper is Salmon for Far Guy and vegetable soup for me.
Minnesota weather: Sunny but not as warm as yesterday.
Far Side
My Mom left me two of her old projects. I have been carting them around in my embroidery box for almost two years.
Time to BE busy!
Sadie had a dog over for playtime. Her name was Penny...she was a Bulldog with lots of wrinkles on her face and she sounded funny...all in the snout. They got along fine for a little while...then they fought over a bone so all bone type chew toys were taken out of the toy basket. Later in the day they got into it again....in retaliation Penny peed on Sadie's dog bed. Uffda.
Sadie was missing her bed.
Far Guy and I ventured out to Hobby Lobby and there were dog beds there and one hopped in my cart along with some yarn!
She likes her new bed just fine...I wish it was a darker color but we can cover it with her old dog bed cover as it was washable.
She had to smell it all over and then turn around about six times and settled down with a sigh.
Then she had a long nap!
Minnesota weather: High 30F or -1C Low was 26F or -3C Mostly cloudy day.
Supper: Pizza using the Pillsbury pizza crust topped with Italian sausage, pepperoni and cheese.
Far Side
My Physical Therapist was ever so kind yesterday and I got an ultrasound treatment, scraping and tape. So good to feel so much better. The flare I have been is has been horrid. In the afternoon I tried to watch a movie but fell asleep.
Jen made me a bookmark...cute as it can be!
I smile every time I use it! Jen is making some awesome things with her 3 D printer.
Supper was spaghetti, meatballs and french bread. I had cheese on my noodles as I am not fond of spaghetti sauce.
Minnesota weather: It was a nice above zero day and the sun was shinning!
Far Side
I finished a baby blanket over the weekend. Another blue one. I have no babies in mind for any of the blankets I have been doing. Just getting ready...to BE prepared! I have enough of this yarn left to make another baby blanket....in fact I already started it.
We had no plans/appointments on Monday ...so what do we do? Made two appointments! The first was for Far Guy's Indefinite Updated Military ID...it seems the Government changed a few things so off we went. Interesting fact is that they couldn't get fingerprints from him as his ridges are all worn off. The next appointment was at the Eye Clinic...Jen had recommended her Eye Dr and she had an afternoon opening... Far Guy needs Cataract Surgery on both eyes. Far Guy said "I am blind as a bat" He has a referral and will be seen for the initial cataract consult next week. The Surgery will be scheduled.
Now for the rest of the week...only three appointments. Practically a week off.
Minnesota weather: Mostly cloudy High 6F or -14C Low was -16F or -27C eh!
Supper: Steak sandwiches, twice baked potato and green beans. It is just the menfolk and me this week as Jen is off to Puerto Rico for some time in the sun.
Far Side
I had fun recalling good times. These photos were taken in the Winter of 1991.
Snow, Far Guy’s birthday, our daughters, me dressed for the Minnesota weather and a Sheltie showing off her one skill.
The dog is G’day Mate. She would carry a message in the luggage tag attached to a scarf around her neck. Far Guy knew if she showed up in the woods with her scarf on that she was carrying a message. She was a very independent dog but we loved her still the same. We called her Mate.
Far Side
I finally finished the cards I use at Christmas for the Grands and Greats. We gave up Christmas shopping a long time ago...all the kids like cash...no problems no returns!
I saw my Rheumatologist on Friday. He said " I can do nothing for you, I think you have Chronic Pain Syndrome." He is tapering me off of the daily prednisone dose and I should be seen at the Pain Clinic. Alrighty then.
Far Guy had his infusion appointment...while he was there I picked up groceries at Wally World and then stopped by Aldi to get fruit. I had a very long nap in the afternoon.
Not much progress on my various projects.
Today we say goodbye to January...perhaps February will be better!
Far Guy will have his Thyroid Biopsy in February...nothing heard about his other appointments...stress test and echocardiogram.
Supper was leftovers...all good.
Minnesota weather: High 4F or -16C Low was -14F or -26C. We have a Winter weather advisory until noon Sunday.
Far Side
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM NOON SATURDAY TO NOON CST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Mixed precipitation and areas of blowing snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 1 and 3 inches and locally up to 4 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...Portions of northwest and west central Minnesota and northeast and southeast North Dakota. * WHEN...From noon Saturday to noon CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Plan on slippery road conditions. Falling and blowing snow will lead to areas of quick and sudden reductions to visibility, making travel difficult, especially in rural areas that are prone to blowing snow.
It seems like every appointment that we have leads to three more. At this rate will we ever be done with Doctors and appointments?? doubtful
Yesterday was a frustrating difficult day. Anxiety as we saw the Ear Nose and Throat Surgeon in Fargo. Far Guy has a nodule on his Thyroid. The needle aspiration that he had done back in September showed it was Thyroid. (Go figure) The Oncologist Dr B wanted it checked out...the referral took place the first week in December...well yesterday was that appointment...finally. That appointment is leading to another biopsy....not sure when...they will call. Far Guy is fit to be tied. There are no ENT Surgeons in Grand Forks....Fargo is the next best option or Rochester. ( We are not driving back and forth to Rochester in the Winter) ( Far Guy does NOT like the Surgeon in Fargo)
One day at a time...we keep on keeping on. Trying to stay positive! Three appointments on Friday to get through before we get the weekend off.
We are still waiting for the we will call you from the appointments last week.
One good thing...the roads were not snowy and not icy.
Two good things...Jen went with us and we went out to lunch.
Another good thing...furnaces instead of wood fired stoves like in the olden days...I am not sure how people stayed warm.
Here are our Greats!
At least three of them were looking at me!
Tuesday night I held the pickles hostage until after they finished some food on their plates! It was a good meal and good to see them all!
Wednesday weather: Chilly! High was 2F or -17C Low was -17F or -27C.
Supper was delicious leftovers!
Far Side
Tuesday was cooking/baking day. Granddaughter Maddie and Brenton and the Greats are coming for supper. The Greats are not sick at the moment so we can get together!
I made cheesecake with no crust so that it is gluten free it will be topped with cherries.
Fun foods for the Greats...
Foods for little hands...mini brownies and toast points.
The rest of the menu is a pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked carrots and green beans...oh yes and pickles. But with our Greats you should almost serve the pickles as a dessert because they really like them! If they had their way they would make pickles a meal.
Minnesota weather: Sunny! Above zero! BUT the windchill is still nasty.
Far Side
I finished water color cards for now and started some stitching around the outside of a dish towel. Had to retrain my brain it has been a while since I have done hand stitching.
I was struggling with it so much it exhausted me so I had a little nap and when I woke up I remembered how to do it. Perhaps I dreamt about it. Will wonders never cease.
I went to PT on Monday then we went to the grocery store.
Andy made supper...ribs, potatoes and corn...delicious.
Minnesota Weather: High was 10F or -12C Low was -8F or -22C eh! The snow was blowing and drifting some inside town so I imagine it was much worse outside of town. By the weekend we should have nice Winter weather again.
Far Side
I finished up a bunch of water colorings for cards. I only have a few more stamped...however I do know where a bunch of stamps are in the craft room. Possibly I will call this project good and move onto something else.
We had a very quiet day, I cleaned two bathrooms except for the floors...I am still not getting down on my hands and knees to scrub. Maybe one day soon. I did some laundry and worked on a baby blanket while watching The Closer on Netflix.
Sadie keeps one eye on us all the time. When she sleeps she lays in front of the front door so we cannot escape.
Her people will return late Sunday night. Last we heard they were boarding their flight in Cincinnati and that 90% of the flights had been cancelled due to weather. Jen was visiting a friend in Ohio and Andy was Master of Ceremonies at a Vex Tournament.
We made homemade pizza using a Pillsbury Pizza Dough for supper...just as good as a Pizza Shop.
Only six medical appointments this week. Sure hope it warms up for the appointments on Thursday and Friday!
Another cold day in Minnesota: High -10F or -23C Low was -20F or -29C eh!
Extreme Cold Warning in effect until Monday, 9:00 AM CST. Source: U.S. National Weather Service
* WHEN...Until 9 AM CST Monday. * IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 45 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Far Side
to snow. Yes, it can be too cold to snow. Too cold to go outside...for people. Sadie manages to lounge out on the deck and get a good roll in the snow when ever she feels like it!
This is the drop zone...the place where we stack up mail forAndy and Jen, Doggie Daycare did the photo of Sadie for Christmas.
Saturday activities...Far Guy did some woodcarving. I did some watercoloring on some stamped cards. Far Guy managed most of supper we had chili and grilled cheese...he is a great prep cook and had everything ready for me to toast the sandwiches after I finished my nap. He is now watching Hockey and I will join him soon. We pet Sadie...I may put her on the treadmill again tonight so she gets a walk! Thursday night she refused my suggestion, Friday she was anxious to get going on the treadmill as I showed her a treat in my pocket. She reminds us when it is 5 PM and we should feed her...same thing at 8PM when she gets a treat and a second supper. She will be happy when her people get back from their travels.
Minnesota weather: High -3F or -19C Low was -30F or -34C eh!
Stay warm!
Far Side
After the photo project cleared my work space I got out the diamond squares that a blog reader sent me.
The diamonds needed to be sewn together with a mattress stitch. That is a difficult stitch but I finally conquered it... mostly.
It was a cold day here, I took Far Guy to his Infusion and waited in the parking lot for him while crocheting and talking to my best friend Susie!
Supper: Far Guy browned some brats and warmed up some potatoes and corn.
Minnesota weather: High -12F or -24C Low was -24F or -31C
Weather Advisory
EXTREME COLD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST SUNDAY... * WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 50 below. * WHERE...Portions of north central, northwest, and west central Minnesota and northeast and southeast North Dakota. * WHEN...Until noon CST Sunday. * IMPACTS...The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 50 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes.
Far Side
It is cold here.
We have enough snow, we have enough cold.
Far Guy and I had a quiet day, he ventured out to the mail box and that was his outside activity for the day. I opened the door and took a photo for your enjoyment.
Far Guy is organizing his medications, woodcarving and making ice for the ice bin...there are three of us that like the softer smaller ice cubes that the on the counter ice machine makes!
I did some laundry and completed my photo album project 2026 for now...yeah me!! I must go through some archived photos and order reprints...I will put that on my list to BE tackled at a later date....before Winter ends for sure.
We made a pan of lasagna for supper.
Minnesota weather: High -13F or -25C Low was -26F or -32C eh!
Here is the weather warning.
The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 55 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 5 minutes.
Far Side
We had some ground drifting on the way to Fargo for Far Guy's Cardiology appointment. His appointment went well, it created three more appointments in the future. He had an EKG, saw the Cardiologist and went for his six minute walk for Pulmonary. The Cardiologist wants to check out a few things so she ordered a stress test, echocardiogram and a virtual follow up appointment.
Old photographs are interesting.
My Great Grandmother (Hadwig) is in this photo on the right. I have another photo of her taken the same day. The photo was taken on my Great Grandparents farm.
The fellow on the wood pile is a mystery. My Great Grandfather (Christian) had crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis and spent most of his time in a chair or on the couch. My Great Grandmother took care of him.
Christian is a bit of a mystery himself. He came to the East Coast on a ship...by himself?...probably not. Did his family die on the ship?? Maybe. His name before he was adopted was Christian Higher.
Anyways back to the wood pile guy...he looks tall and he had a dog that apparently would follow him anywhere. My Mother did not know who he was. I will speculate that is was one of my Great Grandmothers children...Louis maybe as he was tall. (My Grandfather Albert was not tall and his two other brothers would have both died by the time this photo was taken.)
I am working on family information this Winter getting bits and pieces of information compiled...Granddaughter Savannah is interested in family history...so it will be shared with her.
We had a quiet day yesterday, I did some laundry and organized a few things....we watched a movie in the afternoon...Frosted on Netflix...we both fell asleep.
I made smoked pork chops, smashed potatoes and sweet corn for supper.
Minnesota weather: High was 10 F or -12C Low was 5F or -15C eh! Headed into the deep freeze on Thursday and beyond.
Far Side
Some of our snow has taken on a dingy brownish color...snow and good old North Dakota soil makes the snow look yucky.
Here you can see the strip of dirty snow.
I ventured out for my PT appointment, Andy was up at o'dark thirty shoveling and snow blowing. I came back after my appointment and got Far Guy to drop me off at the grocery store door and pick me up again...much better than walking across an icy parking lot.
I finished an in between book. It is a Sandra Dallas book called Little Souls. It is historical fiction. It takes place in Denver Colorado during the Spanish Flu epidemic. I give it a 7...mostly because I think sexual abuse can be in a book but I do not want it to fuel the whole book. I would have written it differently...but you all probably guessed that already.
Four medical appointments this week, my one is done...Far Guy has three to go. We must travel to appointments in Fargo on Wednesday so we hope for no stormy weather.
Progress continues on the photo album project...I am on 1994.
Supper is Tacos, Far Guy's Chili Cheese Dip, fruit and some Rice Krispie bars that I just finished making!
Minnesota Weather: High 3 F or 16C Low was -11F or -24C Wind Chills were in the -40's.
Far Side
We have been indoors since Friday noon. It has snowed and the wind has been horrid. Wind chill temperatures are in the -30s below zero. On Sunday most of the roads in the Red River Valley were closed.
Andy made Calzones for supper and Noah joined us as he lives just two blocks away from us.
I watched a season of Hi Jack on Apple TV it was really good. I am making progress on the photo albums. The Grands albums are caught up with for now through 2024. I am working on the family albums now and I completed 1972-1986... previously I did 1951-1972 in an album for myself. Progress is happening and I hope to finish up this week. Well mostly finish anyways there are some photos that I have taken that must be ordered as prints as I want to include them in the album. It seems to be an ongoing kind of project that grows as I try to contain it!
Far Side
Baby K was baptized last Sunday. We did not attend because of Influenza A that is going around.
Maddie shared photographs.
Baby K is wearing the baptismal gown that her brother and sisters wore that is made out of my wedding dress.
Galatians 3:26-27
"So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized in Christ have clothed yourself with Christ'
We are have nasty winds and blowing snow...and way below zero windchills. We are in a Winter Storm warning and a Blizzard watch until late on Sunday. High was 4F or -16C Low was -1F or -18C eh.
Supper was leftovers for me...coleslaw, sweet potatoes and some lil smokies. Far Guy had a Philly Sandwich that Jen brought home from the Blue Moose where she ate lunch. No cooking!!
Far Side
I finished another blanket.
It is a very pretty turquoise/aqua color. I believe I know who this one will be gifted to.
Far Guy had his weekly infusion on Friday afternoon. I ran errands to Walmart and Aldi, then we went out for lunch. I returned to clean a bathroom, do some laundry and take care of a few things on my list that swirl around in my head...just as the wind swirls the snow around...then I had a nap!
I need to BEgin another blanket. The weather is perfect for starting projects...we are in a Winter Storm Watch and a Blizzard Warning. The wind is really howling outside.
Minnesota Weather; High 9F or -13C low was -5F or -21C eh! Snowy and blowing.
Since we went out to lunch supper became quite easy. Chili, cheese and crackers. No Cooking just warming up!
My Photo Album project is coming along, the Grand's photo albums are caught up with for now...I still need to order their 2025 photos for their albums. I sorted to decades when I pulled the photos from the albums and marked them by year, now I have sorted the years....1972-2023. Next comes the year sorted into months...then I can put them all in albums. There is a method to my madness.
Far Side
I enjoyed the recent book club read. I give it a 9 out of a 10. It is historical fiction that takes place in the early 1950's in Washington DC. Kate Quinn wrote The Briar Club.
All of the gals at book club enjoyed the book.
Thursday was a quiet day around here, I did some laundry and cleaned out two drawers in the kitchen.
I made supper...some of those small rock lobsters and steak along with some crispy tater rounds and coleslaw. Andy is off to a Vex Robotics tournament...he doesn't like any kind of fish or seafood....so we had it in his absence.
Minnesota weather; High 37F or 3C Low was 10F or -12C eh! We are in a Winter weather advisory until Friday evening...snow and wind.
I continue to work on the big sort of photographs for albums. I hope to finish in the next week maybe two....by February 1st for sure! I have updated 3 out of 5 of the Grands albums.
Far Side
Far Guy and Jen have been working on a tiny model house. It has hours and hours of work.
It has lights and everything! I love the little porch swing on the upper deck.
I asked how they would dust it???
They have been working on it while I have been sorting photos. The big sort has expanded...I ran into a bunch of photos of the Grands so those are being added to their photo albums. One Grand album done and four to go. Progress is slow. When I get all five albums done I can resume the big sort! Decades will be sorted into years in chronological order...COD you know.
I had a PT appointment yesterday. We have a weather system moving in and I can sure tell it. I had to have a morning rest yesterday....usually I do not lay down in the morning...laying down with a hot rice bag eliminates my pain.
Minnesota weather: High 12F or -11C Low was 8F or -13C. It cooled off before the stormy weather moves in on Thursday.
Supper: BLT's.
Far Side
All of Far Guy’s medical appointments went well. Return in one year, one month and two months. It was a full day with three appointments. One was at a new location but we found it easy enough.
We had breakfast for supper, Far Guy made the potatoes, I warmed up the little smokies and ham and Andy made the eggs….so it was a group effort!
It was a beautiful day with the highs in the 30’sF. We hardly needed a heavy parka!
I am still sorting photos. Still. It keeps me out of trouble.
Four of our Shetland Sheepdogs or “Shelties” that were a part of our family for years. 1986 to 2001.
Misty, Moses, G’day Mate and Captain. All Shelties with different personalities. Misty and Moses had a litter of four puppies and Mate and Captain were part of that litter.
Far Side
Lots of odds and ends filled the day. Photo sorting, some online work trying to straighten a couple of idiots things out, a bit of organizing and cooking. I made boneless pork chops, smashed Yukon gold potatoes, green beans, coleslaw and raspberries. The green beans from Aldi were awesome! Fresh in a microwave bag...very tasty for those of us who like green beans.
Weather is mild for January. High was 36F or 2C the low was 34F or 1C eh! Nice! The icy deck out back got all dried off!
Tuesday is appointment day as Far Guy has three appointments.
Andy has returned to teaching and Jen went to Maddie and Brentons to take care of Peach because she was not feeling good enough to go to daycare, she had a slight temperature.
Far Side
Wow it took me forever to get past 1990 the summer of the goat.
We had a Summer exchange student by the name of Anke from Germany that was the same age as our oldest daughter. Far Guy took all the girls to a centennial celebration over in Ponsford and a goat was being sold at auction…so he bought it for me. The girls thought it was all great fun. BUT I had always wanted a goat. We named him Seger (Ziege).
One of the camping people put the shucks from sweet corn in a bag on top of his car…well you can guess where the goat went. So I had to rehome the goat. It was a sad day when I left him with other goats at a tourist attraction where he had lots of room to roam with a tall fence and bridges to cross.
Seger was a very smart goat. He learned that if he lowered his head and ran at teenage girls they would scream and run from him. He tried it with me…I stood my ground and he would stop and press his head against my leg to be scratched.
I have very fond memories of that goat!
Far Side
Sorting through the years.
February 1990 my Aunt Marie and I took the train from Detroit Lakes Minnesota to Seattle Washington for my cousins Clark’s wedding to Mary Jo.
We had a quiet day sorting photos and watching a movie, we decided not to cook and went over to Arby’s drive through. The influenza A is going around so the less we encounter people the better.
Far Side
I am doing a deep sort of all the photos that I have with me. I brought a huge tote of photos with me. I will guess that I brought about 3,000 photos with me. I am making progress. I have begun the sort for our own album/albums. I have mostly finished with our daughter's albums. So there is forward progress.
It all takes time. Since we have a few less Doctor appointments I do have some time. I discovered that I should have brought Far Guy's album with me to redo...alas it is back at home. Oh well I will get to it someday. In the meantime photos that should be included in his album are being sorted.
We had a quiet day on Thursday. I slept late as we had no place to be. I did some laundry, cleaned out a drawer and a cabinet in the kitchen (if I do one a day soon they will all be cleaned out before you know it) and worked on my photo album project. Far Guy and I watched a movie in the afternoon. I do appreciate quiet days!
Far Guy's weekly infusions have been switched to Friday mornings for all of January.
We had leftovers for supper...no cooking only warming up. Soup is often better on the second day anyway!
I read Fever 1793 by Laurie Halse Anderson. It is about the Yellow Fever Epidemic in Philadelphia through the eyes of a teenager. It is Historical Fiction.
