Better (cough cough cough) but not (cough cough cough) well.

Being sick sucks!
Of all the things my great granddaughter has given me, I like this cold the least.
Wednesday morning I awoke with a raspy cough.  We went into Ankeny to babysit.  I sat in the recliner and went to sleep.  Ella woke me to move the truck so that Beth could leave (I was parked behind her).  I sat down and went to sleep.  Ella woke me to take Charlotte to school.  I returned to Nathan and Beth's and went to sleep.  Around noon, Ella woke me to drive home.
I sat in my recliner and went to sleep.  Around 5 some friends called and ask us to join them at Village Inn for pie.  I went.  I ate half a sandwich and ordered a slice of pie to go.  We didn't stay long.
I came home and sat in the recliner and went to sleep.  About 10:30 Kramer the cat stood on my chest and meowed.  She wanted to know why I was in the livingroom while Ella had gone to bed.
I went to bed.
I slept until about 9 this morning.
I've taken several naps today.

A couple days ago I posted a picture of the moon Venus.  That night Jupiter was also shining brightly.  However, I wasn't close enough to the moon to capture them together with my cell phone.  The following night Jupiter and the moon were much closer in the sky.  Here is the picture ... I know it will not win any awards, but here it is.

Here are a couple pictures of the youngest great granddaughter doing "chair aerobics".

Here he she is in a quieter mood and showing Ella some love.
