I slept good again last night, returning to sleep even after the wake times. This morning I saw the sunrise, and was watching the sky and the lake. I knew I dozed, and I thought the clock showed 7:20. And not too long after that, I heard my phone ring. I figured it must have been the hospital, calling for help, before 0800. I dozed a bit again before getting up.

My surprise! 10:00 when I got up! And 0940 when the phone rang! Wow, I really did sleep well.

Frank was just waking, too. We breakfasted, and enjoyed the morning. He went out swimming, and I went out on the dock. He was out a ways when he swam back in, kind of quick. He said he saw a big fish...

We went out in the paddleboat. We found the cleared area where this fish was bedding (?) -- the silt and stuff moved away on the bottom, maybe 3 feet oblong. And there is a hole maybe a 8-12 inches around at one end of it. Frank thinks it came out of the hole. As we quietly floated around, we see it. Eww--eeek--it's big, and probably a huge catfish. Really, maybe 3 feet long. We actually saw it a few times, and I do wonder if it came out of the hole. Sometimes I just don't need to know that there are huge fish in this lake...

We went into Hale for a few groceries, then over to the ice cream store for a scoop (two for Frank). Back home, I spent the rest of the afternoon painting the closet in the back bedroom, while he went outside and worked on his car.

When I finished painting, I got supper together and ate, and Frank ate when he finished and came in.

It was a beautiful day, 79 degrees, blue sky, quiet/light breeze. I would have liked to spend more time outside, but I'm still a little low on energy even though I am feeling better. No thera flu today, just a couple of tylenol and a couple of good coughing spells.

Tomorrow I have to go home. Frank has the option of staying a couple more days.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
