My visit with Kathy D. yesterday made for a great day. We shared lunch - I made our favorite mac n cheese, and Kathy showed up with fruit, fried chicken, and homemade cookies! Handsome joined us for lunch and then he disappeared with the dogs to other parts of the house.
Meanwhile, Kathy and I had a great visit. I saw the counted thread sampler she's currently working on from a retreat she recently attended on Madelein Island in northern Wisconsin. I showed her my stalled progress on the bluebirds, and then we just got caught up.
Of course, I never took a photograph of a single thing while she was here, so that's why you're seeing a silly photo of sleeping Claudette instead.
Late day today, I got a chance to speak with Mum. She's still in the hospital so they can monitor one of her blood levels that's been off the charts. Once that's regulated - thanks to the surgery results - she'll be able to go home...hopefully tomorrow. She sounded really great and is content to wait there, as she's quite sore from all the prodding and poking. It's the best place for her right now. It was so good to hear her voice and know she's okay. I told her I'll speak with her again soon.
Handsome has his last concert this evening. We're hoping there's no rain so it can be open air at the park, rather than indoors at the fairgrounds. The outdoor venue is so much better.
It's going to be a busy day, too. Physical therapy, a doctor's checkup for Handsome, a scheduled classmate dinner (I'm not sure how we're going to get to that), and then the concert. We'll see. I'm going to make sure I get a good nap in there somewhere, and ice my knee after we get home from the clinic so I can get around for the concert. That's the one thing I absolutely won't be missing.
How are you doing?
Claudette is too funny!
ReplyDeleteGlad your Mom is doing well.
It sounds like you have a busy day, don't overdo it.
I'm doing ok, I go to the Ortho tomorrow, hoping to get rid of the boot.

aaaaah - does indeed sound like a pretty wonderful day and so glad to hear your Mom is doing well. We finally got some rain here yesterday and I think most everybody felt like celebrating after so long without. It's probably too late for the farmers though. Hope your rain holds off until after the concert and that you're able to go.
ReplyDeleteThat was indeed a very good day, and today sounds like it could be another good - great! - day, as long as you don't overdo. Tomorrow might need to be a slow day 😊 Hoping all works out for an enjoyable evening at Handsome's concert!
ReplyDeleteSherryofcreateology: Ahhh I like the photo of Claudette. Sounds like a perfect day with your friend. You have an overly busy day today yet I know you really want to go to Handsome’s last concert of the summer. Lots of ice and rest for you dear. It is good to be busy yet exhausting too.
ReplyDeleteClaudette may be a bit too spicy for spicer Jack.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your mum is doing so good. It really is so nice when we get to hear their
voice and can make our own assessment of their situation.
So nice to catch up with a friend in person.
Your day is set on cruise control, it won't be long before you are back on
the Energizer Bunny schedule.
The rain is here all afternoon and into tonight so hopefully you'll be dry.
