6

 Cee Cee is 6 years old.  We celebrated her properly with a great supper...mac and cheese, pulled pork on buns, coleslaw...and birthday cake! 

The candles relit but she was a trooper and kept blowing them out! 

Hard to believe she is six years old!

2nd eye

 Far Guy had his last eye surgery yesterday.  The left eye this time.  It all went well.  

The total number of drops in EACH eye is 159 over four weeks.  Good thing we have a chart to fill out with the times. 

8 out of 19 appointments completed. 

Some of the snow has melted in the front yard. Dirty snow remains.

Minnesota weather:  High was 32F or 0C  Low was 13 or -11C. Mostly cloudy.

As I write this on Tuesday late afternoon...Andy is cooking up a storm in the kitchen...it is Cee Cees 6th birthday and she requested a surprise supper...but she said "It better be good!"

Book Club 2026: March

 We read another historical fiction book for book club.

The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

I gave it an 8 out of 10 on my scale.  Parts of it seemed to be interjected willy nilly and didn't really go along with one of the female lead characters. 

Everyone said they enjoyed the book.

Puzzling

 I cleared off my end of the table and started a puzzle.

We had a quiet day on Sunday. Andy returned and we went out for supper at Pizza Ranch. Sadie is thrilled that he is back home. 

This week we have four medical appointments.

The sun was out and it was a warm day for March. The high was 51F and the low was 32F.

A winner or not

 I do like a Tootsie Pop!  Grape or cherry...orange in a pinch.  Far Guy likes the brown ones.  At home I have a jar full of them and our Grands knew they would get one for their trip home after a visit. 

I got the fellow in a headdress shooting a star!!!  In the olden days I would have saved the wrapper and turned it in at the local grocery store to get a free Tootsie Pop.  You know back then they were sold individually and usually displayed in a box on a rack in the candy area.  They used to say it was good luck to get the fellow shooting a star...it happened about once in every 4 to 6 pops.  Not every store followed the unwritten rule about the free one!

Springing ahead. I am not a fan...I will be discombobulated for at least a week.

Minnesota weather: High 43F or 6C  Low was 33F or 1C eh.  Mostly cloudy and we might get some rain.
