Good Morning!
It will be "write and run" today as I have much to do, and am already on my 2nd load of wash...
Roberta has to be at St. Vincents Hospital for 6:15 and will be having a 'hida' scan. They said it will take approximately 2 hours... (not sure of the spelling on that). After that, I have to run back home and meet with the installer guy who said he will need about 2 hours of my time. And then, down to Appleton to pick up some toys! (Methinks it will be a busy, busy day)!
Berta has had some godawful pain; perhaps today they will find out what is going on, but as you know, I have lost plenty of faith in the medical profession...
I am also going to remember that today is garbage day. (Generally I DO seem to forget this)... Will bring it down to the end of the driveway after I call Roberta and wake her up. CaseyAnne will be watching Master Gabriel while we are at the hospital.
Casey will be heading to The Dells this afternoon. She played in the Wisconsin State FFA Band for all 4 years of high school; and each January they have a reunion party. Happily this coincides with her birthday this year; (that is why we celebrated last Saturday, a week early, at the Olive Garden). She is also sicker than all get out with a nasty cold... If you want to wish her a happy birthday, please follow the link in my blast!
The picture above is of the newly potted plant in my bathroom over the shower! I took this plant home, once upon a time, from work. Someone had hung it in the Ladies bathroom there, and it was all but dead; having about 3 leaves, and about 2 and a half vines that were still partially green... I cut it almost all the way down to the pot, figuring what the heck, lets see what happens. And now you do see what happens!
I'd better close and get on with my busy day. I am hoping that you are having a great day; and for those of you that 'disappear on Saturday and Sundays, I hope you have a grand weekend!!!
XOXO
Anne
