SD is now going in to her 2 trimester but she sure do not look pregnant at all.  I think it is because of her size as it is.  She is a big kind of woman.  In fact, she was told not to put on any more weight for now and she is doing a very good job at it.  The scrubs she is wearing at the hospital is still wearable for her.  She was telling her dad that good thing the hospital does not require the nurses and nursing aides to wear those nursing uniforms which she thinks are too stiff.  Like her grandmother’s days as a nurse, all nurses have to wear uniforms and there were no Medical Scrubs and they were never heard of.  That is what my MIL told me. 

Anyway, SD likes those peaches scrubs by Katherine Heigl Collection.  She likes them because they are V-neck and are not 100% cotton.  She said she will have make a suggestion to her supervisor why she like them so much.  The Katherine Heigl Collection can be bought at ScrubsAndBeyond.com.  She was telling me that if she can’t get it for her work, she will get one set for herself to wear them at home.  The color is nice, rose, instead of the blue that she is wearing now at work.   They are very comfortable for just wearing it to lounge around in the house.

My friend, Ruth and her hubby are both retirees.  They both retired at an early age.  I knew Ruth when we were working with the wicked witch of the west.  Ruth and her hubby sold their house they own in Hopkins and moved to their cabin by Lake Mil Lacs.  I have been to the cabin, it is one beautiful cabin. 

Ruth told me before they had the cabin built, they had to look up Log Home Plans at HousePlansAndMore.com to find the one and only cabin plan they like most.   Initially they thought of moving to Texas or at least to Oklahoma where her brother is.  They want to move to somewhere warm and was looking at Ranch house plans.  They want a ranch type home because it would be easier where every thing is on one level, no up and down the stairs for her arthritic knees.  However, their hearts are still in Minnesota, they went ahead and looked for the kind of cabin that they want to build.  The website was easy to use.  All you need to do is pick the type of plan you desire, fill in the basic search criteria like number of bedroom/s, bathroom/s, square feet, and estimate costs and the zip code of the area you intend to build.  The result gives them a few different plans to choose from.

This log cabin is now their spring/summer/fall home in Minnesota.  When winter kicks in, they will head south.  Like her, her brother is also looking at the bungalow house Plans for a 2,500 square feet home with 5 bedrooms for his family of 8.  At HousePlansAndMore.com he thinks he will be able to look for one at a price that he wants and most importantly, the customer service he will receive and what he gets for the price he pays for the blueprint.
