No, but I live in the Sunshine state, so I can go out and sit and bake my
head in the sun for about 15 minutes.  It's very salutary.

Being sick, too!

Elizabeth helped with cooking (and dishes, some, too) and Keys mowed lawn.
Our acre was up to 2 feet in bahia grass.  Much easier to mow, now, though,
since we got the riding mower.  He also did some dishes.  But you know how
they multiply.  The laundry, on the other hand . . .  Eh, manana.

So they did help some, but also had to rest, so there still is much to do.
I think we kinda sorta just kept even.

That's desperation, if not insanity!  Stay away from hospitals, if you can!

Thank you!  I am, too.
