I have apparently spoiled my mother-in-law. When we arrived I wanted to help out as much as possible. The only thing I am qualified to do is dishes so I took on that chore for myself. At first it was difficult to shoo her out of the kitchen. Then, as time went by, she would start to work at the sink if we lingered too long at the table. This morning Wakana started to laugh because her mother finished her breakfast and simply wandered out of the room, leaving her dishes in the sink. She noticed that her mother very happily rises from the supper table and goes in to watch TV without giving the dishes a second thought. I think that woman is going to miss me when I go home.

It snowed yesterday. We got a few inches by afternoon but we didn't have to go anywhere so it was no big deal. I went out and shoveled the area in front of the garage and the walk into the house. By evening the areas I shoveled were already clear of snow and today there is almost nothing left. It is a fine clear day with bright sunshine and warm temperatures.

Back at the end of January I ordered some warm clothes and they finally arrived a few days ago so I am more comfortable. One day Wakana pulled some yarn and a knitting needle out of a drawer and began knitting. After about an hour she asked me to give her my foot. She was knitting me a pair of slippers. She finished them quickly, working with no pattern and no prior experience in making slippers. They are very comfortable and warm. At first they lived up to the name of slippers, I nearly killed myself getting down the stairs, but we got some antiskid tape from the hardware store and attached it to the bottom.

It was a bit of a jab, Charley, to see that updated Roll & Go website. I was wondering when you would get around to taking my picture out. I'm looking forward to hearing the new Roll & Go configuration. I notice that Jennifer's picture is also gone. Did she finally quit?
