It's a day off so that means a busy day. I love busy days. I've walked. I'm up to 3 miles a day! I find that I don't mind walking a particular route every day that I know takes me the distance I want to go. Anyway, I'm all ready to leave the house. I'm going to my parent's to color and cut my mom's hair, then take my mom with me. We'll go to Old Country Buffet, her favorite. It's been months since we've been there. I'm not sure what we'll do after that, but Mom will spend the night with me tonight. If the weather permits, we'll go to her community pool tomorrow for the day. It's the same one I grew up at, and most of my book club friends are members.

Kit and I spent a few pleasurable hours hanging out on the porch at Sherwood last night. I got there long before her, and laid on the outdoor couch reading a magazine. It was great therapy.

Time to head off, but here's a few new pictures from Emily:
