I am on the last roundup here on Stauffer Ave. Making a list and checking it twice. 48 hours to a new shoulder and Dennis knows I will be doing last minute items right to the time that we leave for Mankato and the wonders of Doctor Jesse. The items on the list are nothing unusual it is just the order of things as we leave behind snow and winter and transfer into spring. it was only 25 degrees this morning but I had to have the thermostat in the home at a very low setting. My metabolism ramps up my internal thermostat quickly. Will anyone check the sewing area for flailing threads during the next several months? No — but I would know they were there and — now they aren’t. It’s a good thing. I have had to go through surgery several times and knowing that the home front has been tidied – it’s the peace that passes all understanding.
