Pictures 75 - 81

Oops - I thought I had posted this! So sorry!

Tuesday, March 16th - The inside of my dishwasher as I was filling it. I couldn't get a decent picture of me doing it. Not really anywhere to put the camera. It was about all I could muster that day. I was still so fatigued.

Wednesday, March 17th - St. Patrick's Day - I don't really care about S.P. Day, but decided to go with green anyway. These are two of the old 7-Up bottles we got from Dad's stuff. Memories of my childhood. Thursday, March 18th - The day we decided to "retire" our bedspread quilt. Goodbye, "Old Fr..." well, it wasn't exactly a friend, but it did its job!

Friday, March 19th - We drug our bodies out to eat and went to Perkins. Dale said we couldn't go to someplace really good like Montana's until we were feeling better! I agreed!

Saturday, March 20th - Our waitress either accidently served us real coffee, or she was too lazy to make decaf. Anyway, unfortunately, we don't know about it until very early in the wee hours of Saturday morning. So, I took a picture of the clock over my computer to let you know both Dale and I were still up and wide awake at 1:20 a.m. I didn't ever get back to sleep, but Dale did. Guess we'll have to go into the kitchen with the waitress and watch her put the decaf in the carafe next time. Ha...

Sunday, March 21st - Dale is still sick - well, he never really got well and went to work in spite of still feeling sick, so he didn't have time to really get over what he had. He had a relapse on Saturday. He actually came home Monday afternoon and stayed in bed the rest of the day. Men! Why can't they learn??! So, I found my little stool and put the garbage can on top of it in the kitchen. I find that bending to put stuff in the can is so hard on my back. This was a good idea and really makes it so much easier for me!

Monday, March 22nd - I was feeling better on Monday and decided to tackle the storage room. Before Dale's "relapse" on Sat., he managed to put the shelves together we had bought the week before the flu hit. So, they just needed to be organized. I think they will work really well.

The Saga of the Bedspread Quilt

This is the quilt we used as a bedspread on our bed. It has become increasingly worn out and torn in spots. I don't have my sewing machine anymore, so to repair it, even a little bit, by hand, was becoming a daunting task. I had been on the lookout for a new one for ages, but couldn't find one I liked. Plus, we needed one a bit thinner than this one. Finally, Dale had had enough and said, it has to go! So, it went!!

This is the quilt Mary Lundell gave us after we had our fire. I have always liked it and we use it to wrap up in while watching TV or having to sleep on the sofa or whatever. It is a nice quilt, but a little small for our bed. However, it served its purpose while we waited for our bedspread to arrive. Our new bedspread finally came and we picked it up on Saturday. I really like it, but it is thinner than I thought it would be, so now we are waiting for a thin microfiber blanket to put under it. Not that we are ever that cold, but I find the bedspread itchy, so it will have to be pulled down.

I know this isn't much of a "saga", but it has been the most excitement we've had lately. How boring is our life??
