During dinner today the Fabric Fairy (Karen?) put a nicely-folded-triangle fat quarter on each of our pillows. Marie wasn't able to be here. Her husband has esophageal cancer and is undergoing chemo. This evening we searched the Internet for a demonstration on how to use a bidet. There were some youtube videos that weren't worth the time we spent viewing them, but we finally found a cute cartoon that was exactly what we needed. Who would have guessed you could sit either direction?! |
