It's amazing how much I continue to enjoy the companionship of this little bird-dee! She is such a joy. Each day she seems to do something new to entertain me. DH made his way home from the frozen land of Ohio this evening. I am glad to have him back. I had another almost 9 hours of sleep last night. I am afraid to hope that I'm getting any better with my cough. I took an old friend to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday. It was a fun time.
