This week our weather was on the upswing and best of all, the golf course opened.  When I don't play, John plays with several retired teachers, business owner, and mail carrier.  Sunday evening he got a text from one of the guys saying they were golfing the next morning, so bright and early Monday John headed into town to golf.  He said he played fairly well considering having a long layoff.  He made up for it by playing Monday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings.  Thursday the course was closed to the public due to a high school tournament and Wednesday was the appointment for his stress test.

In addition to golfing, John cut more wood.  His pile had gotten pretty big, so this morning he had our grandson, Josh, come over and help with the splitting and stacking in the shed.

This week he also got the garden tilled and today planted the onions.

Last week we purchased a new stove and decided to replace the hardware on all the kitchen cabinets and drawers.  After looking in Home Depot and Menards, we finally found what we both liked on Amazon.  We spent Thursday morning removing the old knobs from the cabinet doors and replacing them with the new--that was the easy part.  We replaced the knobs on the drawers with drawer pulls
and that entailed removing the front panel of each drawer and drilling new holes.  Thank goodness there were on seven to do.  I took advantage of the drawers being apart to clean them out and get rid of what we don't use anymore.

Now for the most important news.  On Wednesday John went for his nuclear stress test.  It took about 3 1/2 hours for the test.  He was injected with something and then had numerous pictures taken and then had to go to the cafeteria to eat, come back for another injection and more pictures.  The cardiologist told us to call in two days for results.  I called Friday morning, but they weren't in yet, so instead of calling and talking to reception, I emailed the doctor in the afternoon.  She got back to us right away, told us the test was normal and that John could proceed with surgery.  Now we are waiting to hear from the surgeon's office as to when that will be.  We are not sure what happened with the EKG at the hospital, but are glad to be moving forward.
