We were up very early this morning so Dave could get to an appointment in Erie to have the rest of the stitches taken out of his hand. He got a new cast - green color this time. His next appointment to finally be de-casted and hopefully start rehab will be three weeks from now. We stopped to have breakfast at the Edinboro diner on the way home and ( Read more... )

I felt less antsy reclining on the couch and fell asleep finally. I got up at 5:30 like usual, got the animal chores done and then went back to bed. Had ( Read more... )
