Just Chatting: March 2, 2013

"One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized, cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered" Martin Luther King, Jr.

Good morning all, hope that this has been a great week for you! The weather here has been fine, but it looks like we are going to get one more cold spell before it really warms up.

Really don't have a lot to say this week, I have been busy but nothing very news worthy.

Last Saturday, Judy & I took Dad to the Olive Garden for dinner. He is such a poop some times, Judy fixed him steak on Thursday evening and he hardly touched it! He reminded her that he doesn't eat very much! The secreat to that is he eats well if he likes what you give him, if not the I don't eat very much comes into play. I guess he has decided he doesn't want steak now. What was really funny he got a thing in the mail giving examples of what you should way and would you believe it...he was 28 lbs. overweight. He don't eat very much ( but he sure lives his sweets Here is a picture of him and Judy & Lana

Judy left on Tuesday for Salem, MA. She went from Dad sitting to Baby sitting for Eloise while her parents are away. Dad misses her something awful.

Have you ever heard of Mail Minder? Bill is always wondering if the mail has come yet, so Diana got him one. It is a two parter....one chimes in the house when the mail box is opened. The problem is to find something strong enough for it to stay on the mail box lid that is not permanent. But at first it worked fine and the chime is so nice. But then the mail man kept hitting it and then some car on the street set it off. We have decided to give up on it. I checked it out on line and guess what they don't make them anymore.

On Wednesday I was at Dad's and the Therapist came. This is her last week. She says he is doing well and improving on his walking but there is nothing she can do if he doesn't do it when she is not there. So much for that six weeks, but Dad really enjoyed her company. Then the home health care nurse came and he wasn't pleased with her at all. According to him she didn't do a very good job replacing his bandage on his leg. She knew nothing about him or what was wrong with his leg, she wasn't very organized. He said after she left he hopes she doesn't come back. If she does he won't be mean to her.....he just won't talk to her. Oh, my Lord I hope I don't do that to my children.

I want to wish my grandson Pat a very happy birthday on Monday. Nephew Chris Adams on Tuesday and cousin Jack Adams on Thursday! The best of Birthday's to you all!!!

Got a call from brother-in-law David in MA who seems to be doing very well. He is the one who sends me those wonderful animal pictures that he takes. Also heard from Sue, it seems she and Paul have lots of opportunities to do things so they can pick and choose. How about it, let me hear from you!

Got theses pictures of Face book, they sure bring back memories to me...it has been a long time but in my mind I can still see that plow coming down our road.
