Tom arrived safe and sound on Thursday, the 2nd and we had a pleasant first night together, enjoying the enchiladas that I made for dinner.  It has been cool and cloudy but we managed to get walks in a couple of times each day, mostly short ones to the bus stop or up to Pleasant View Road.  

Easter Sunday turned out to be a very nice day with temps up in the 70s and we took the dogs to Minnetonka Regional Park and to Carver County Park to walk the paved trails.  It sure did feel good to get outdoors and see the sunshine without a wintry jacket on. I had brought left over spaghetti and meatballs, so we had that for dinner and not a traditional ham dinner.

On Monday, we started to gather our gear together to go back to my apartment and did laundry and some house cleaning so we leave the house in good shape for the vacationers.  Their flight wasn't landing until almost midnight.  We waited until we were sure that they had taken off on their return trip, let Yoshi out one more time, and then headed back to my apartment, getting there about 10:30 pm.  We unpacked and went to bed, hoping to sleep in the next morning.

The days have been cool and gray this week but we saw a little bit of sunshine on Tuesday.  We have mostly taken walks around the neighborhood, but did the trail by the Bloomington Ice Garden yesterday - almost a mile.

A very strange thing happened at around 5am on Thursday morning when I woke up crying out "Help me, help me, please" and crying from a nightmare.  What I can remember is that someone, I think Mike was asking for help and I was unable to get to him.  I was able to go back to sleep after settling down, but it was quite scary.
