On Sunday, we drove to Burlington to have dinner with my mom, brother, a cousin and his wife (Bob and Wendy). It had been almost a year since we had seen Bob and Wendy so it was good to see them and have a nice visit.

Today, I was up early and on the road by 7am. It was my turn to take my mom to a doctors appointment. Happily this one was in Burlington. Once a year my mom sees her heart specialist and gets an ultrasound of her heart. The Technician allowed me to be in the room while the ultrasound was being done. Pretty fascinating --- you could see the heart chambers and the values opening and closing. The rest of the day consisted of errands ... my mom's dryer died on the weekend so finding a new one was a main objective of the day. A nice simple dryer was found and should be delivered on Saturday. Think I'm become a handy person as I cleaned the vent outlet, installed a new vent pipe, replaced a towel rack and I only made one phone call to Ed for advise.
