Sunday

 Sunday was uneventful.  We finally felt up to working on the 2025 Christmas woodcarvings.  They are in all stages of progress... 26 are nearing completion...maybe. 

Minnesota weather: High was 54F and the low was 29F according to Far Guy...when I got up moisture was dripping off the garage roof. 

For supper we had salad, fish, carrots and pineapple.  The carrots that my baby brother and his wife canned were delicious!

My other baby brother and she who sees robins first came by to visit in the evening.

We have a fairly busy week with five medical appointments...however two are virtual...but one is far away....and so it goes. 

A large warm blanket a birthday gift from neighbor JoLynn!  Thanks Jo! She knows I like sunflowers!

Quiet Day

 It was a quiet day on Saturday. I went over to visit my baby brother, his bride, Smudge and Baxter in the afternoon.   Then I had a nap.  We started watching Poldark on Netflix....my kind of show.

Far Guy got the new battery hooked up for Tilly and drove her out of the garage!   

We had what is in the freezer meals for supper...I had vegetable beef soup and Far Guy had Jambalaya.

Evening Visitors were next door neighbors Steve and Jo.  Good to see them!

Minnesota Weather; High 55F or 13C  Low was 36 or 2C eh.

Visitors and a nap

 I am a tad tired after the busy week.  I spent most of Friday resting and doing quiet things.  I tended to a few things on my list of things to do and had a nap. 

Niece Katie, Hunter and Aubrey visited us they are here from Western North Dakota.  Aubrey is a Senior this year and has been accepted into the Nursing Program at Minot State University!  She will be an awesome nurse!! ( Aubrey is my other baby brothers Grand)

Thursday happenings

 Far Guy had his weekly infusion that protects his lungs while I went to the lab for a blood draw for my Rheumatologist appointment next week, then I picked up our grocery order at Wally World, then to the other grocery store for a few things, the pharmacy and the bank.  The pharmacy at the corner of happy and healthy has no idea what they are doing.  

When I picked up Far Guy we went to the next town South to the Dentist where I got a new crown and after that we went to the bakery for flatbread! (Cross off stitch removal, blood draw and the Dentist off my list!)

We came home and unloaded the groceries and low and behold the corner of happy and healthy had the correct prescription ready.   I was tired so Far Guy went by himself while I went to the couch for a nap. 

My baby brother, his bride, Baxter and Smudge visited in the afternoon.  My baby brother took care of the leaves in our yard on Wednesday before it rained on Thursday. 

Far Guy made supper; fried potatoes and eggs with toasted flat bread...yummy. 

Minnesota Weather:  High 64F or 18C Low was 53F or 12C with intermittent rain.

A double yolker!

Three appointments

 Three appointments down..three to go..and Friday is a day off!  

Far Guy saw his Oncologist.  A different maintenance medication will be tried, as the present one has a number of bad side effects...think thrown into the deep end of menopause.  The cancer is all gone however  the Doctor would recommend three weeks of radiation treatments.  Due to Far Guy's fragile lungs and his heart function a specialist in Radiology must evaluate him. 

We met with Great Grandson Hey Mikey's third grade teacher.  A donation was made to that classroom in memory of Far Guy's sister Jan who taught third grade most of her teaching career.  The donation will go for books, a field trip and water safety! 

Jen removed the stitches from my forehead with only a little trouble because they were very tiny stitches...she consulted a You Tube Video at one point while I waited under her lit magnifying glass. 

Sadie came home from Daycare to greet us and Andy made burgers on the grill...delicious!

The next morning Far Guy had all of his staples and stitches removed from his chest.  He talked at length with his surgeon.   Far Guy is his career #3 man with breast cancer.  Regarding radiation the Surgeon said he would  trust the opinion of the Radiology specialist and that risk vs reward is a tough call. 

After that appointment we headed home.

I drove most of the way...Far Guy drove the last 60 miles so I could rest a bit. 

Cloudy skies in our area.  We had afternoon naps...in my case more of a sleep and for supper we warmed up some of the fabulous Pizza we made on Monday.  Leftovers can be a blessing. 

Minnesota weather: High of 56F or 13C  Low was 50F or  10C eh!
