Even with Fridays off, my weekends still seem too short. Friday I had to drive Jerry to Lincoln for his appointment with the arthritis specialist. The diagnosis is gout and hopefully will be able to control it with medication. He has some arthritis in his joints, but not enough to warrant surgery. We had lunch with Cindy and Tammie and got home in time to play 9 holes of golf. Jerry just did some chipping as he is not ready to hit the long shots. We had our usual Friday out with friends.
Saturday. Jacob had his last wrestling match in Madison (only 12 miles away) so I went to watch him. He lost all his matches and was really disappointed. Then I joined Jerry and the Utechts for 9 holes of golf. The geese are already nesting so will probably have more little ones to watch again this year. They are fun to watch, but boy are they messy. Steaks on the grill (yum, yum & Donna cooked) for supper. Then we watched Kansas beat No Carolina in the final four NCAA BB tournament. Would like to see KU go all the way, since they are Big XII. I also hung some laundry out for the first time this year.
Sunday, Church, grocery shopping, more laundry, etc. I started washing the 15 windows in the sun porch (one of my least favorite jobs.) Six of them got done before the wind changed and made it too cold to work on the porch. The lawn guy called to have us flag the sprinkler heads so he could aerate the lawn on Monday. Checked all the sprinkler heads to make sure they were all working. Since all this extra left no time for cleaning, I am hoping Jerry felt like pushing the vaccuum cleaner today. Probably should try to mow tonight, don't want the neighbors to get ahead of me.
Spring is in the air and the robins are looking at the downspouts for nests.

I'm not over the hill. I'm on the back nine.

Jerry's prognosis sounds encouraging. I have heard the gout thing can be controlled by diet, too. Good luck with all that.
I see a W-P paper now & then and check for pix of Joe's kids on the sports page. Haven't seen any yet.
Abby is in track. Unfortunately their meets are not at a time I can watch. Her relay team did place second in a meet last Friday.
Next sports will probably be softball for Abby and "coach pitch" baseball for Jacob.
