Dutch- Apotheek English-Pharmacy

Okay, So I start this blog, miss a day and start getting harped on by Sue, the blog Police!!!! Just kidding Sue! We are actually coming off of a fairly relaxing weekend. We decided to "lay low" as Olivia is still not feeling 100%, physically. She has been struggling with congestion and complaining of difficulty breathing. Today she missed school and we took her to the "House Doctor". Yup, you guessed it, his office is in his house! The first house on our street. So strange, we did not even leave the neighborhood. Dr. Jannsen came to the door, invited us in, we talked a while and checked Olivia out right there at his desk in his office!!! Totally a home office!!!! Anyhow, they do not prescribe antibiotics right away here, instead a nasal spray decongestant and an oral pain reliever. Olivia opted for the oral when faced with the common dutch choice of suppository medication, when she understood that suppository is "in your bottom", there was little to no hesitation for choosing swallowing a pill!!!! Bless her heart, pray that she feels better soon!!! Matt grilled burgers tonight, that was a trip!!! We buy "charcoal", what we get is pre-burned, driftwood!!!! It is so crazy, the smallest everyday things, like grilling, become first time experiments. It's like the "wall paper marriage test" every day!!!! WOW, we will be built to last, by the time this is over!!!! Spoke to Tony tonight, he's going riding with some friends in Duluth today, Have fun Tony!!! Be safe. Sure do miss him!!!! By the way, spent much of the weekend enjoying our package from My mom which included MN State Fait Sweet Martha's and Kraft Scooby Doo Mac and Cheese and the Chaska Herald!!!! Who loves us????

Greetings "you Dutchlanders" - We're having our third day in a row of beautiful MN fall weather - only today it feels more like summer. We missed you for this long weekend - our grilling was actually quite boring! Sure hope "Miss Olivia" starts feeling much better! 100% would be just right! The blog is such fun - I agree with Anne - Jennifer, you need to write a book. Love ya, YOM, MOM & Gramma Sharon
