I could not take it any longer. My heavy winter quilt went out to the clothesline for a bit of freshening and a lighter weight one is now on the bed. There may be cooler nights ahead, but that is a chance I will take.

Slowly I am making strides in taking out some of the winter dust bunnies.

When Dennis and I were enjoying the morning coffee, it began as chit chat and before we knew it we were on our way to Mankato. The quest was for pedicures. We have used the same shop for several years with much satisfaction. We when walked in, we were recognized by the Vietnamese owner. Luck would have it as there were two chairs available. Other clients are shown to the wall of choices in nail enamel; she knows for us it is “no color.”

Dennis has feet that went through a lot while in Korea, mostly being wet 24/7 in cold conditions. My titanium knee don’t allow for the correct arc for me to do a good job of trimming my toes. So . . . the older ones on Stauffer don’t bowl, shoot darts or belong to card clubs for instant gratification. We treat our tootsies so they feel wonderful and carry us well. The massage and kneading of the legs isn’t all bad either. The very first pedicure in times past and Dennis talked me into it. One of the best road dates ever.
