Gray days bring out the homemade sunshine. Even without the bright natural light, the ice is dwindling. The air smells like spring and the early morning birds have found their voices. I am about to graduate from Chiropractor 101. The hurtful butt cheek has given up and now I have just what feels like a steel belted radial band across my back. We are making progress. With the chiro’s magic elbows and me faithfully doing the home exercises I should be good to go within the week. The water has gone down on our patio and Dennis has taken his rocking chair off of the table in the garage porch and has once again resumed his stints of watching TV in the garage porch, albeit a bit damp. It will be quite a while before the carpet can be determined worth saving. Tomorrow will be a trip to Mankato as Michael’s has called and two of my stitch projects (one in 2001 and the other in 2002) are ready to be picked up complete with UV ray protection glass to protect from fading. I did wash the two items as they have been previously framed with no glass and I knew it was totally safe as white dish towels have been embroidered for years using DMC embroidery and they have withstood countless laundry days complete with Hylex. Have a day everyone.
