Steve is doing ok. We went to Springfield this afternoon to take a new bookshelf to Elizabeth. Steve made it for her. I am posting pictures tomorrow. I must tell you that once again he did a beautiful job. He is the master wood builder. I know it is something that Elizabeth will treasure. In fact, she sent us a message with a picture of the shelf already decorated with her books and pictures. We took Elizabeth out to, yes, you guessed, Hinode. Steve just loves that place. He was once again a dog tick when we left. He complained the whole time we were eating that he was eating too much. Same song and dance every time we go. After we unloaded the shelf, we headed home. He fell asleep before we were a mile down James River. I stopped at the Republic Walmart, and he never even woke up. In fact, we were just on the outskirts of Republic, and he finally woke up. He asked me if I was going to stop at Walmart. I just laughed at him. He is a deep sleeper when he naps. He came home and rested and watched some basketball. We saw the ending of the North Carolina/Flordia State game. I was a little disappointed with the NC coach. You see, NC was ranked 3 and they got their butts handed to them by FS. The last 30 seconds of the game. The coach and the starters walked off the court and left 5 benchers to finish the game and battle the students storming the court. I think if you are a team, you all are trampled or no one is trampled. I think that sends a bad message to the 5 left on the court to combat the crazy students. Sometimes I wonder what goes through some coaches' minds. Steve's feet are bothering him again. It seems to get worse in the evening. If he forgets to take his medicine, they really cause him a lot of pain.
I have been working on a couple of projects. I mentioned the quilt earlier. My sewing room is all set up now. Yesterday, Steve bought me a new sewing machine. I just love it. It does everything under the sun (no embroidery) It has features that I never even dreamed they had on machines. Already I love the tie-off feature. It also came with a huge work space table to the left of the machine. I hope I can do the machine justice with my sewing. I know this machine is way smarter than I am. It is going to take some time to figure all the gadgets out. There are classes that I will take at the Quilt Sampler that will teach me the ins and outs of the machine.
I had to take Samurai to Dr. Dake's this morning. He has not been feeling well for about a week. Come to find out, he has allergies. His eyes are infected and he has a spot above his tail that is a bad spot too. He has eye drops and two kinds of pills that he must take for 14 days. If the medicine does not work, he will have to have allergy tests. He may have to be on a special diet and take special allergy meds. Steve says it is just like a kid. Dr. Dake does a good job of helping us take care of Samurai. Dr. Dake is very informative and Samurai likes him but is a little afraid of him too. I guess that is a good combination.
Koleen's 21 birthday was yesterday. She had a good day. She stayed up in Columbia but will be home for Aubree's birthday around the first weekend in Feb. They went out for supper and then headed to the nearby casino. She is now legal to drink and gamble. What a combination. I remember turning 21. Those were the days! :) I am sure that I am the reason my mother and father now have gray hair.
