 My oldest son turned 40.  I got up about 7 Sophie and Steve  were both pills last night.  We had to close the door in Sophie. My doc appointment was at 11.  Steve probably said 10 words to me before we left.  I had an ultra sound done in my legs to see why they swell all the time.  40 years or more and they are finally questioning why.  Any that took an hour.  Steve decided that he wanted to check out fain park. So we did.  Steve wanted to have lunch at Dairy Queen.   So we did.  We were stuffed. Came home .  It felt like Steve was looking for a reason to blow a cork.  Steve went out and worked in his shed.  I was able to sit and stitch.  We went to Colleen's to get the ottoman but it is too big for the room.  We took the dogs to the dog park.   We hung out  we had a very light dinner.  Finally it was time for TV and cuddles with the dogs.
