Things were just not normal around here this week. As Ron would say "What is normal?" I picked up some sort of virus and was under the weather for about 3 days. I had a scratchy throat and ended up with a cough and sore ribs. It left as quickly as it came on. I am still coughing a little but feeling much more like myself. So far Ronnie is feeling fine.

We are having Camp for one of our granddogs this week. Lucky's family went to Colorado where they seem to be having a wonderful time.

In the meantime back here on the home front we are trying to remember to check her bowl for water and food and buy the right stuff. We have shopped twice for it now. She does seem to love our backyard and is in a constant state of sitting on the back of the couch and barking to let us know whenever anyone is trying to get us.

Friday night we went to supper with Joyce and Dick Silvey and Larry and Carol Hicks. Had sandwiches at Tom Thumb. We then ran a couple of errands and stopped at the Dariette and each got a medium malt which we were sure would last a couple of days. It was gone before our heads hit the pillow. The diet goes on.

This morning we were Eucharistic Ministers at Mass and then went to breakfast at Mineral City. This afternoon we watched the movie "The Secret Life of Bees" Loved the book and love the movie. Cried during both.










Nice weather the last two days. We definitely need a little drying out period. God is so good to us.
