Nice day but cool. Finished scrubbing down the stairs & washed wall coming down stairway. Cleaned little bathroom today. Tonite I subbed at Margaret's bridge club. Marian did too. Had a good time. Ron wasn't feeling very good & stayed home with the kids.
Ron came & took Todd to dentist after he got out of school & he drilled a hole where the boil was. Doesn’t seem to be bothering him much though.
