13 June 2008 – Friday

Worked in yard and it is starting to show. I gave our slide to our neighbors. Hopefully their children will get more use out of it than our grandchildren have. The day went by in a flash.

The Alexanders could not go out so we went to dinner at Macaroni Grill. We went early so the service was great – lots of hot bread. The only blip was that they were not serving fresh tomatoes so my personalized pasta was not what I would usually order.

My cold continues to dog me so I took three hot baths today because it seems to make me feel better. Unfortunately nothing was going to help tonight and the longest I slept was an hour until I finally fell asleep at about 4:30.

I figure I am continuing to learn patience and faith – two attributes I have been working on for the past 16 months. I have done what I could to get over this illness and I have to just let it run it’s course. Hopefully by Monday I will be feeling fine and can get on with visiting all the people I have not seen since we left.
