Lita came home for a few days last week.. We worked sorting bed linens and other stuff found while we were doing that. Took 3 garbage bags to Pet Friendz, a couple to Second Chance, and marked another couple for garage sale. If those don't sell, they will go to one of the others after the sale. So, got a lot more room in Trina's room, but still oodles to go through and get rid of.

While she was here, Bill asked if he might be able to get someone to take him up to Mackinaw City, so he could buy some pasties and smoked fish. Not sure how he would take such a ride, so going to get some smoked fish up by Bay City and get pasties another way. Nice to have him show interest in doing something, though.

The home aide that was coming regularly has taken in a couple of foster children, so I'm in the process of trying to get some other gals lined up to give me a break now and then. I knew it couldn't last forever, but was hoping for longer than a month. Oh well, we take what we can get.

Did you all hear that "our" (meaning the Thumb's) wolverine died? No one knows where she came from, but we know she will be stuffed and used for educational purposes. I was a bit surprised to know that although we are the Wolverine State, as far as 'the experts' know, no wolverines ever lived in Michigan until she showed up six years ago. Now, once again Michigan is wolverineless. I had hoped they would import a mate for her, but I don't think I would have wanted to share my yard with her and a family. :-)

Keep well. Enjoy spring.
