ON THIS DAY
On March 4, 1933, the start of President Roosevelt's first administration brought with it the first woman to serve in the Cabinet: Labor Secretary Frances Perkins.

Our friend jvb in hosp in sf CA
is making tiny step progress.
He remains on a feeding tube, will begin physical therapy soon
and is able with effort to say some words.
We don't have any authenticated information as the 'family' is
not sharing with friends. Brain fissure has been mentioned.
Research says there is hope for independent recovery in about 3 months.
A few of Jb's friends are going to court to block action that may jeopardize
jb's rent controlled apartment in the city. Anyone who pays rent in CA knows how important this is.
Kitchen: cabinets have been ordered. Maple with a "wheat" stain.
flat panel with squared edges and crushed stainless steel 8" pulls.
3 of the doors will have be 'mullioned' which means open for glazed glass panels.
Countertop: formica polished (shiny) blackstar granite # 4551-01
Backsplash: 12 inch tiles in terra cotta and gray
This is very exciting for us- if you cannot imagine what this will look like- we understand- it is very difficult to put this sort of thing together unless you are watching HGTV 24/7 -
Visiting Sophia tomorrow.
Little Gizmo - one of 2, 15/yo dogs who have lived next door for about 11 of those years- passed from heart failure last night. He is being buried in the yard- right next to our fence. Won't be planting vegetables there. We don't mind.
I like the idea of a private cemetery.
Enjoy your day/weekend ~~
