Top of the morning to you all!! Wow! What a chatty bunch you were already this morning! Lots of good stuff for me to read.
Nancy - I'm starting a raised herb garden on our lanai. Seeing as how I am not supposed to use salt now, it was recommended that I use herbs instead. I have all sorts of dried herbs, but I love the smell of fresh herbs. Now I'm just waitinf for Lowe's or Home Depot to put the plants on sale. Tried growing from seeds a few years ago, but that never was very successful. Starting with plants will work better.
Dave - I hope you and Kathi had a good check up and that you both got told that the doctor will see you next year.
Lee - You totally cracked me up this morning with the first part of your post. I wonder why Canada has not yet started selling Kings Hawaiian rolls yet? By the way, not sure if you saw or heard that they now make pretzel rolls too. Can't wait to give them a try.
Kathie - Glad your corned beef and cabbage was good. We have 3 pieces of corned beef (13 lbs)to make today, plus 2 heads of cabbage, 2 lbs carrots and 5 lbs potatoes! M&J and G&E will all be here with their kids, so we need to make plenty. I will actually have to cook it in 2 huge pots. The good part is that while it's a lot of food, it doesn't take much to prep it and get the show on the road.
Karen - I hope the rains hold off on the reno, otherwise, the bathroom area could be considered an outdoor shower!! LOL
Ended up having a really nice day yesterday. After Home Health, our neighbors stopped by for a while. Good seeing them in a setting other than the hospital. Just before they arrived I got a phone call from Laurie who wanted to know if we wanted some company. I of course, said yes, as we don't see them very often. We had a great visit and they ended up staying for chicken cacciatore. It was just the right amount considering that G&E were staying over at the new place last night.
Got Home Health coming around 1:30 today. I told the gal that she can help getting our dinner started. Her answer was "HUH?" 
Have a wonderful day, everyone, and don't drink too much Irish coffee or green beer!!
