It was cold and dreary but at least we got half an inch of
rain. It was really needed. I had to go stay with Ashley
because she was very sick. The Dr. said she had strep throat,
and the flu as well. She was also verging on pneumonia. Three doses of antibiotic and tamiflue and she was much better
today. She was able to eat well and keep it down and looked
so much better when I left.

I made a casserole and some chicken noodle soup while I was
there. I also watched a good Greer Garson and Robert Mitchum
movie.

Ted and I are trying to improve the looks of his studio. I
rearranged and got enough room to put up a table. It has good
north light and two skylights as well. It is a rotten shame
that we aren't more talented.
