Bill is doing great. He's a good patient and it was kind of fun to have someone to really take care of for a day or two. But except for slight soreness, he's back to normal. We'll be seeing his sister, Becky, March 26 and they can sit and compare notes on their procedures, while her hubby, Ed, and I can sit back, drink a beer, and listen.

My DWR is coming down the home stretch. I decided I want to have the top finished by end of this week. I plan to take my machine in Friday or Saturday for a spa treatment while we go camping next week. And I hate to leave a project half done. It always takes me a while to hit my stride again, so I really try to finish things up. I'll probably take my travel machine and a more relaxing scrap project camping. Weather at the ocean in March isn't really conducive to sitting around outside.
IRISH - I know YOU are celebrating today! Your Kathy sounds like an awesome young lady!! And I do so hope you can make a trip to the PNW. Our trailer is our guest cottage and we've had a lot of guests take advantage of that while they take day trips to Seattle, Rainier, St. Helens, etc. But we just might be able to meet up with you someplace, too. Traditionally our summer weather doesn't start until after July 4th. Mother Nature's little joke on us. So, just a head's up . . .
BECCA - sorry Denise and Mark's trip is delayed but at least it isn't cancelled. And anticipation is fun, too. Nice they or Marty will be able to fix that lock. I know how frustrating it was for my brother when he lost the dexterity in his hands and could no longer do small simple tasks.
TINA - how is the closet coming along? Hope that plastic keeps the silt at bay. And remember, as long as it's Lent, it's not forbidden!
JANA - poor Sarah. My SIL had a deviated septum which caused him a lot of problems, but after he had that fixed, he's been fine. And Becca mentioned Trigeminal Neuralgia. My mom had that and it caused her many sleepless nights. I sure hope they can fix your Sarah up soon! And what new skinnies did you get?
LORI - well, maybe we're long lost cousins! Some of my mom's aunts/uncles (her dad was eldest of 13) migrated to CA, though mostly in the Bay Area. But one might have slipped further south. Any McDonoughs in your heritage?
I'm not sure about supper yet. I'd love Irish nachos but not sure Bill can handle them yet. Maybe just mashed potatoes (colored green, of course!) and gravy. I have fresh asparagus in the fridge but not sure about that either. We'll see come supper time what he feels like.
Enjoy your St. Pat's Day!!
