Easter

Ron did laundry and washed dishes, his contribution to our mutual well-being.

I vacuumed and cooked, breakfast, lunch (matzo ball soup) and dinner (ham). Ron fixed veggies, asparagus and carrots. Superb.

Picked up Alpha at 1, and we did the transfer station run. Piles of recycling. The transfer station has a strange schedule: closed only on Christmas, New Year’s Day and Fourth of July.

Alpha Bona’d the kitchen floor, planted the window boxes and helped me change the sheets.

Good Week

Worked at the bakery four days this week. Got grocery shopping done and checks deposited last evening.

Ron had PT again yesterday. He’s doing very well. Peter drove him home so I could work.

Made a mess of my GoDaddy renewals yesterday but they straightened it out today.

Got out of work early, picked up pansies at Soares, groceries at Shaw’s and beer and wine at Kappy’s. Burgers for supper. Too cold to work outdoors.

Chicken Soup

I finally put up the fowl bought on sale a while back with celery, carrots, onion, tomatoes and a few green peppercorns.

The aroma is old-timey and comforting.

Ron is doing better and better. I’m scheduled to work tomorrow through Saturday.

The first day of Spring snow was less than half an inch and never accumulated on the driveway or the street. I shoveled it off the decks.

Carpenter dropped by this morning to talk with me about cabinetry and a backsplash for Edgewater later this year. He has some good ideas.

Fixed a problem for one of John’s clients this morning.

Ron wanted to get his hearing aids adjusted and the nearest Beltone is in Hyannis, so after his appointment, we redeemed my birthday gift from Not Your Average Joe’s. What a meal, and great service! We stopped briefly at Keyes Beach, too cold and windy to linger, and took the scenic route home through Craigville and Osterville.

Armillary, Alpha, Day Two Post-Surgery

Ron slept much better and although he was still in pain, did the cellar stairs and even made coffee! He’s been sleeping in his recliner.

Alpha helped at the transfer station and baked gluten-free chocolate chip cookies! She also helped me change the sheets. Grateful for her assist. Leftovers for supper.

I picked up an Edible Arrangment for Laura. Her birthday was Sunday.

Threw some Chickity on the front gardens before the snow. Doesn’t look like it’s going to amount to much.

Splurged on an armillary for the back yard and a shelf for the bakery.

Post-Surgery, Day One

Ron had a rough night but he’s doing quite well now. We’ve had the ice machine going all day. Eric brought over more ice so I didn’t have to go out. BIG help, I’m hurting and tired myself, fell asleep after work.

Everyone at the Lion has asked after Ron. We are lucky to be part of such a good group! Had 4 hours of yesterday’s dishes waiting for me this morning.

After dropping Ron off at the surg center yesterday morning, I stopped in to the Coffee Table for cookies and ordered a quiche for today. Picked it up this morning; it made a nice light supper with PDF greens.

Day 3, Trustees, Cardinals

Day 3 of the brush cleanup at Edgewater. Made two trips to All Cape.

Met with the Library Director and two Trustees to talk about roles. Could have used a translator at times; I have never been good at foreign languages!

Laundry.

Take out clam platters from Cooke’s for supper.

Cardinals on the deck this morning!

Good Day

Cathy and Cindy took me to brunch.

Did the transfer station run and cleaned up the tree hackings at Edgewater. Can’t believe we fit so much into the truck.

Greens and sauteed shrimp for supper. Watched first episode of Bosch, season 2.

70

Worked at the Lion for a couple of hours.

Picked up greens at the Farmer’s Market. Saw Emma last night and today at the Market.

We couldn’t get in to Bobby Byrnes for a birthday freebie, so Ron took us out to eat at Asia. We had some terrific sushi, which he felt measured up to Bay Area standards. Imagine!
