Today was the big day to take the bandage off my pacemaker surgery site. I was nervous. My daughter-in-law came over to do it for me. The good news: it looks OK, no infection or any of the other gross things they mentioned I might find. My son mowed my grass, DIL watered all of the pots of flowers, more than 20 of them. Then I finally was able to shower and wash my hair......after 5 days I needed that.
I went out to check on the Dahlias and the yellow one is finally blooming and has one more bud. I cut off the last of the burgundy color flowers too. See how tiny the burgundy one is. It is more like teacup size than dinner plate as the package said it was.
Today the big Sandwich Fair (DeKalb County, IL) opens and will run through Sunday, the largest and cleanest county fair in IL. It is usually really hot for the fair, almost unbearable in the center of the buildings on the grounds and this year it is in the high 60s and low 70s for the first time in many years.
Today also the carpet gets laid and I'm looking forward to that. I had my DIL bring up from the basement 2 boxes of 1.5" batik strips that I cut many years ago and I will play with them while they guys lay the carpet.
Thanks everyone for all of your comments and emails. I'm not up to answering them yet, but I really, really appreciate them.
