Sick and trying to function

 

A persistent cold bug finally has finally caught up with me. The over-the-counter meds make me dizzy, but they relieve the cough and make breathing easier.

I am such a baby! Our granddaughters have all had the same bug over the last two weeks. Of course, they begged to go swimming, and did not want to be left behind when the entire family went somewhere. I remember two occasions when it was different – two of our granddaughters had been up most of the night, and needed some sleep. They missed swimming lessons.

Today I am missing the gathering of the Kansas City Chapter of SAPFM. Could timing be worse? At least one of my woodworking friends promised to take some photos, so I can share on the blog. I could not ask for a better friend! Have fun, everyone!

Do YOU try to get things done while feeling lousy? Or

Can YOU take it easy (easier) until you start to feel better?

A time to be proud

 

Three of our granddaughters participated in the Savannah Swim Team this past season. The Team took 3rd place in the NW Missouri Conference. Sierra, our 10-year old girl, won the Most Improved trophy given by the Team to a member:

Sierra: Most Improved - 2011!

 

I can only imagine how proud Sierra’s mom and dad are. But I KNOW that Nana and Papa are very, very proud of Sierra!!!

Wooden hinges on a small cabinet

 

Do wooden hinges operate smoothly on a small cabinet?

Wooden hinges

Shawn, a reader in Idaho, asked via e-mail whether the wooden hinges on the small cabinet operate smoothly. The answer is YES! – the hinges operate very, very smoothly!
