Pat McH. R. wrote me yesterday to say she had read my entire blog! Good grief, she must be a glutton for punishment, as the first entry is in September, 2005. I post almost every day, although not always (when Pat was in the hospital, say), so that's at least 350 entries. True, some are fairly short, but still...
Well, I decided to emulate and yesterday, sat here for almost two hours reading every word of my deathless prose. Some of the stuff was not bad, some just plain boring--even to me, for Pete's sake!--but all in all, it was sort of fun.
Okay back to now: What did we do yesterday? Not a helluva lot, actually,
aside from me getting some stuff for Pat's cold at Rite-Aid. Again, the cashier said I had to give my birthdate and again, I told her "January 15, 1982--ha, ha, that'll show 'em!
Called Mary Ann V. just to see how Bart's doing. He's about the same; she said he went to the doctor the other day, and the doc is satisfied with his condition. I was surprised to hear they don't go to a pulmonologist.
I gave Pat an "oven-fried" pork chop last night and I had an old favorite of mine: pasta with broccoli and garlic hummus. It was okay, but really didn't taste as good as I remember. Could be because I can hardly taste anything.
Pat and I both slept well last night, thank heavens. Of course, I took Ny-quill and although it's hard not to throw up because it tastes so vile, it really knocks me out.
Was thinking about ham steaks for dinner, but maybe I should have chicken of some kind instead, as we've been having a lot of pig lately. Okay, I'll get a rotisserie chicken, have it tonight, then cut it down to make chicken potpie later. Think I'll also use my basket of apples to make either baked apples or applesauce.

Yes sireee Rosemary I did read the whole blog and enjoyed your musings. I must have read Oct '06 first because I'd forgotten you already had gone to the St James gala when I asked if you were planning to go. Some of your entries just 'broke me up'...that's what we used to say in the '50s. I will email you replying to yesterday's newsy email from you. Thanks for Muckie's phone #...I think I'll call her.
I started reading Uncle Frank's blog....I love to read how things were way back when. I've only read the first entry so far, but what caught my eye is where the farm was located.
When I was a Public Health/Visiting Nurse in the late 60s my area was all of Roxborough/Manyunk up to Domino Lane. So there, another connection.
At that time Domino lane was fairly developed, but had enough open areas that I can picture Uncle Frank's farm.
I wish you'd stop talking about all these tasty sounding meals you whip up each night. I feel so guilty....we eat lots of Stouffer's or pizza or pancakes. I am seriously considering getting a crock pot so I can become more domestic. I'll be asking you for recipes.
Sure hope your cold is on the wane....like that word...I think I learned if from my mother. I wonder if I gave your son his first bath at St Francis....just checking to see if he is reading this.
more later.

Delighted to see your comment, Iloveac! (And yes, I do know who you are.) Thanks!
As for the son you mentioned, maybe he is, maybe he isn't...

Thursday

Well, it started off nicely, but things got murky later. R.E. agent Kim emailed me the Certificate of  Occupancy, which means the house pass...
