The picture shows a Robert Shiflett fantasy fixed blade. It's been freshly oiled. I put it on display again.

My mom's dog swiped a roll of paper towels and ate some of them. She texted my daughter to talk to her about it. I have no idea what to do or any advice to offer.

My mother-in-law had surgery today in the Dallas area. I'm pleased to say that it was a success. We fed my brother-in-law dinner last night, because my sis-in-law was in Dallas for the surgery. I made hamburgers on a George Foreman grill.

The end of the work week is upon us. I suppose we'll make our usual pilgrimage to the grocery store. Peace and love from the Lonestar House.
