Hey, all!

It's been a few days; things have been busy here among other things.

Golfer is doing okay. He had a re-check appointment last Monday. They fiddled with the pins holding the bones in place, took out the sutures, cleaned his hand and then made him a new splint. He goes back for another re-check in a little over a week. So no cast as of now. He can use his fingers a little more with this new splint. And we are supposed to take it off, clean his hand, and then put it back on. I wish I was better at doing that for him. Golfer also had to go get a cortisone shot in his shoulder. That seems to have helped the pain and he can at least sleep better. He's planning to go back to work on Monday.

Bikini, Brief, Boxer and Bloomer were here last weekend. It was great to see them all, and we appreciate them coming. They helped us with a couple things around the house and Bikini and Brief did some cooking. The kids were very good and are growing so fast!

Nurse J and Cable Guy had us all over for lunch and we got to see all the work they've been doing on their house. It is lovely! I especially like the work on the fireplace and the new banister on the steps! BeyB got her first choice and will be playing the flute for band. She was also getting her new glasses yesterday. We have not seen them yet.

I had a couple days of scratchy throat, aches, headache, and blah-ness. Also some increased joint pain. I've been taking it easy (for me) the last couple days and am feeling a little better. Going to see the orthopedic doc on Wednesday.

The new fence work was started. Hit a snag right off when things just didn't look right on one side with the property line. And we couldn't find the marking pins. I had to get to work so we called Nurse J and Cable Guy to come help Golfer look for them. We appreciate their help, but the pins weren't found and we had to hire a surveyor to come out and find them and mark them. Turns out the neighbor's fence is at an angle and not really running correctly on the property line. But our fence will be fine with our property. And all of our sprinkler heads are fine also. We were afraid we were going to have to have a few moved. Turns out the line is closer to the neighbor's house than everyone thought. They have already shown concern about the location of our fence posts, but Golfer explained about the surveyor and the correctly marked stakes, so that's that. Rain and soggy ground slowed down the work a little for the fence company, but the guys said they would be back Monday morning to start putting up boards.

Our new chair for the "reading room" was delivered. The furry kids seem to apporve of it and have been taking turns sitting in it. It's a La-Z-Boy wing-back with turned wooden legs, dark green print fabric. I still have a little more rearranging of things on the shelves to do and then I'll take some pictures. I love the room! It's just like I had pictured it in my mind!

We hope everyone is well and happy. Stay safe!
