Welcome you your weekend, everyone! Gram is back at Devonshire, as of yesterday afternoon. This time we filled the prescription for the more powerful pain medication, just in case she has another bout of this terrible pain. They found absolutely no cause except for the fact that it's part of the healing process. And it's been 8 months since the surgery!

I came home from work to find Pop up on top of the car port once again. He has spent many hours trimming all the dead wood from the 2 climbing roses that we planted there 4 or 5 years ago. There was a ton of winter-kill this year. He's pretty much a mass of little scratches and pokes.

The Mercury is still leaking some substance from under the hood, but we can't determine what it is. We really really need to find time to go car shopping, but the timing is bad since we're planning to leave town next weekend and be gone for 2 weeks. Any suggestions as to what kind of car we should buy? Gram needs to be able to get into and out of it.

I've been spending some of my "spare" time arranging for Medicare supplement insurance and Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage. The time has come that we're ready to dump the Nestle insurance. It's pretty expensive and provides lousy coverage.

We've been invited to Dave and Melissa's on Sunday. We'll be going up there after I get off work at 4:00. We had a fantastic dinner and a lovely time at D.J. and Michele's on Tuesday evening. Saturday night we'll be bowling in a candlelight bowl fundraiser for the Ulster Project. Should be interesting since I don't think I've been bowling in about 45 years.

Cheers! I'm off to make dinner...
