Not sure as I had a sleep study done at the hospital last night for sleep apnea.  http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/sleep-studies  I had little wires connected to my head with paste and a band around my chest to do an ekg and another band to measure the respiratory readings.  Plus a lot of other things connected with leads.  All together an unpleasant night.   I couldn’t wait to get home to wash my hair and take a shower.

One of my friends that I have had since I started blogging  along with her husband make many beautiful items out of wood.  Nancy is having a give away at her blog.  Please visit her, look at her beautiful items, leave a comment, follow her, and you will be entered in the drawing.

My direct order (remember I worked for the military) for you all is to stay safe and be happy!!
