Spring flowers

They may be small, but I'm sure happy to see them.

We Planted a Tree


We bought a mountain ash at the bare root sale at the greenhouse. We had one in the Rapids. I hope we have enough years left to see it grown.

it's getting to look alot like spring

The dock is in, the gardens are raked (none of which I did). I think the back situation is finally going to get better. I went to swimming yesterday, it was great to get some exercise. Howard has been golfing twice here.
I'm back to doing all my busy things, way too much eating out. There is a style show and lunch on Saturday and Potluck on Sunday.
We had a fun Easter, alot of Easter Egg hunts. The weather sure has been beautiful. It's time for the flowers to come up.

Another Day in Rice Lake

I had x-rays on Monday and an MRI today at the clinic in Rice Lake. It looks like imflamation due to arthritis in my back and neck. The Doctor had given me drugs on Monday and they really helped, so I was ready for this diagnosis.
The big H went to the eye Dr. while I was having my MRI, he had complaining this winter about his eyesight getting worse. He was told he is getting cataracts, they aren't far enough along yet to do anything about, but will be in the future. Oh the Hell of getting old.
Tim we are sorry about your Grandmother. What a way to celebrate Easter, I guess that's what it's all about.

Doctor Visit

I went to Rice Lake to an orthopedic doctor about my back today. I had xrays done and have to go back on Wednesday for an MRI. He gave me anti inflamatory drugs, so it feels much better tonight. Either the pain medication will make it better or they will find something on the MRI.
Sad news, Jack Suskey died, he was in New Mexico. He was a nice man.
I'm getting the unpacking done and filling the cupboards back up with groceries. I sure wish it would warm up, but until my back is better I can't work in my gardens yet.

There's No Place Like Home

We successfully made the long haul home. Friday was major rain all through the south. I,m busy unpacking. Why is it so difficult to fit all this stuff back in. I'm going to have to make some Dr. appointments this week, because the back is no better, but I did make the ride home o.k. It would be nice to have it start warming up.
