When we got up this morning, the sky was overcast with heavy clouds and a little mist. John was still struggling with back pain, so I once again grabbed my MP3 player so I could listen to music while I walked the golf course.

Since John can't sit for any length of time, he didn't go to carvers this morning and pretty much spent the day resting in bed, walking around the house, and taking pain meds. I spent the morning taking care of the monthly finances and doing some laundry. After lunch, I started some more organizing of the things that need to go home to Minnesota.

By dinner time, John's back was finally starting to feel better--not quite so stiff. After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, we took a little walk down the road to see what was happening with the new house being built. While we were looking, John and Libby from Unit 38 stopped by--they also wanted to see what progress had been made on the new house. Sam Lark then drove up and stopped to join the conversation. After John and Libby left to continue their ride around the golf course, Sam returned with us to our house for a little longer visit.

John's back is improving more and more--he thought he would try to walk tomorrow morning. I told him not to try to do too much, he needs to be in good shape for our company this weekend. The evening ended watching the final of the NCAA tournament.
