Construction at our house today. Our downstairs toilet leaked, so it is getting replaced, along with the floor in the bathroom and hall. If you look at the picture carefully, you can see where about one foot of the wall is cut away due to water damage. Hopefully this will be done in a week.

Today I went outside and raked a few leaves, for the first time since my knee sprain last Monday. I am much improved, but the knee still hurts when I stand.

As part of the celebration of our 40th anniversary, we took Jim and Kathy out to 'conveyor belt' sushi at Kura. They even had robots to deliver soft drinks!
