etienettebluetFriday i catered to the knee and stayed off it as much as possible, used a cane as necessary and was successful in getting back to normal by Saturday. Shelly's mother came back to the hospital Saturday and Shelly's staying with us awhile again. We had to be quite insistant that it was no intrusion, nor too often. We said, "You've become a household sister and had best listen to big sisters and come quietly." I went out Monday in spite of the snow for lunch at KFC but by the time I was done the accumulation was such that I skipped errands and only stopped in at the library awhile before getting myself back home. I found the scooping had already been done thanks to the enterprising young man who'd come last time. Tuesday we both went to fighter practice at Easterday. Leofwyna is one of the entry key persons. Little Jane turned five yesterday and wanted to challange the fighters to 'five strokes' with her boffer weapon. She plans to be a figter when she grows up. I figure she'll probably be queen in her own right some day. At the sewing table I'm still trimming and piecing blend strips into more tops.
