I hope your weekend is treating you well too.

I just started a new medication for my sciatica and it is working! Feeling very happy.

Beautiful day here in Northern Michigan. Got all our peppers planted along with some celery and zucchini.
Tomato’s and cukes next. Going to have our first garden salad tonight. Spinach, radishes and some onion and beet tops.
Started root crop Mid-March.

Gotta get back to work.

I'm pretty new to DU, so there is no milestone, but in six weeks, July 1, we'll celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We got married in Mexico City and didn't know we needed witnesses, so we borrowed the next couple in line to do the honors. Hasn't changed much since then.

Due to some strange quirk (known only to Skinner), I had to renew my user name in 2009. I have been on board since 2004. But who's counting?
