We had an absolutely beautiful day--sunny skies, warm temps, and gentle breezes.  Our day was a pretty busy one.  Following our walk, we did a few chores around the house, got cleaned up, and then headed up to Sara's for haircuts.  From there we drove to Bemidji where we had an appointment at the bank.  We were early and had some time to kill, so we went to Burger King for lunch and then made a quick stop at Home Depot to check out some tile and paint.  John and I concluded our business at the bank and from there went to Menards to look at some of their tiles once again,  It was decided we liked the Home Depot colors better.

By now it was time for John's doctor's appointment.  He has been having some back pain and stiffness and had me call for an appointment yesterday.  I couldn't believe that he got in today--I expected a two week  wait.  The doctor told John it's arthritis and prescribed an anti-inflammatory for the next month and see how he responds.  

Now we were back to Home Depot where we picked up a gallon of paint and a couple of tile samples.  We've decided to paint the bathroom first, install the new sink, and then make the final decision on tile for the back-splash and floor.  We also looked at new doors for the linen closet and light fixtures for over the sink.  There was one final stop at the pharmacy in Bagley and then we hit the road to home.  After all that running around today, it felt good just to veg out tonight reading and watching some TV.
