It's the coldest morning we've had this far according to the computer though I haven't been out to check.  Rose is practicing her guitar and Shirley has gone to Whole Foods to pick up a few items. The  garage door motor broke night before last but luckily someone got it repaired with one car out and one car in. It got fixed yesterday.  Costly but worthwhile with winter coming on.

Had to take a break because the physical therapist came and we did some exercises and she showed me some new ones.  A Martha's Hands helper is also here and the therapist showed her how to assist me with repetitive exercises.  The therapist stressed the importance of the repetition.  I'm trying.

I finally got in touch with the Maddens.  Mike got married in Italy and lives in the Kansas City area,  He said any of the Family who ventures that way to just let him know. They have plenty of room.  Mike sells the same cleaning/health product that Linda Orso sells, and we are advocates.  He still has his vineyard.  His brother Sean has a grocery store in Ozark. Aunt Virginia, their mother is the only one of that older generation left, and Mike sees her occasionally.
