First of all the black eye is to Sally Kerns who is a
state representative. She made some unbelievably racist
remarks and remarks about women in the Legislature. She was
not disciplined and I think she should be.

An A plus for me because I did some really great shopping
at Tuesday morning. I got an ergonomic digging tool, rockport socks for the men in my life and a very pretty
flower shaped outdoor thermometor and a pretty flower pot...a
big one and I wish that I had gotten two.

I had another day of sickening nausea yesterday and I will
be finding out what causes it, if it occurs again. I can't
imagine life if you had to be that sick all the time. I
could never be a good invalid and by nightfall I was able
to water the flowers and my minute garden. Good tomatoes
are all I am asking from it but it would be very helpful
if we could also enjoy some squash.

Rex has formed the terrible nocturnal habit of squeezing
in between us at night around midnight. I woke up when
I heard Ted yell, "Get off me you big ape" but went right
back to sleep and woke up freezing because Rex had pulled
my covers off.

Happy Weekend to you!
