It was errand day in downtown St. James. I was surprised how messy the parking lots were with slush. Several cars were caught up in the slush to be stuck. I am sure it was a crapshoot as to whether the warm temps would take care of it or if it would pay to have someone come in and clear the area. I chose wisely where I parked.

We are down to 11 days of getting Dennis into the pre-op scheme of things for his carotid surgery. Today, out of the blue, an RN nurse from the Veterans Health Care facility here in St. James called to check in on Dennis. Whenever I hear people bash the service that veterans receive form the VA health care service . . . I wonder who they are or where they’re from. Dennis has always had the highest regard for the gals out here in St. James.

We are awaiting for a great “Dennis Hotdish” for supper. I am also keeping granddaughter Megan in my heart as she is entering competition in Duluth this weekend. When I texted her, I allowed her to know I had been practicing my lunges and would be right behind her on the ice. We love that gal.
