My Weekend Recap on Monday...

This recap has no photographs because I was remiss in taking any at the couple of events that made up our weekend. My bad.

Backing up to Thursday, I started my day early with yet another appointment at the Watson Clinic. It was time for my every-two-years bone density test.  I'm happy to report that I hadn't shrunk anymore since I was there two years ago.  I have lost an inch since I was in high school but I blame most of that on my bad knees.

When I got home from there, Helen and I went to visit with Cheryl.  We were happy to learn that she would get to go home on Saturday!  I haven't mentioned Cheryl's roommate but Dorothy is an older woman who is just so nice.  We included her in our visits and she and Cheryl talked a lot and sat at the same table in the dining room.  We have become Facebook friends with her.  She almost cried when we left with Cheryl on Saturday.  We also got to know her daughter and learned that they are looking for an assisted living place for Dorothy.  We can meet such dear people in some unlikely places.

On Friday, Helen had her usual weekly hair appointment at First Choice and while she was there I ran to Walmart (around the corner) for a couple of things.  From there, we (of course) visited Cheryl again and brought some of her things home (to Helen's house) so there wouldn't be so much to lug out on Saturday.

Saturday morning found us springing Cheryl from the Opis rehabilitation center.  She was ready to get home and it was also her birthday!! What a great birthday present to be doing so well only two weeks after open-heart surgery (aortic valve replacement)!!  She asked to go to Cheddar's for her birthday dinner, so Joe and I went over around 4:00 to pick them up for an early dinner out.  We had picked up a birthday cake the day before to have after dinner. We all had a nice time and it was Helen's treat, bless her heart.  The cake and ice cream back at the house was good.

We told them we would pick them up for church on Sunday.  Cheryl won't be able to drive for a few more weeks so they will be relying on friends to take them places and make sure they have what they need. The first Sunday of each month, their church has a potluck lunch after the service so I made a pasta salad to take.  Joe went with us.  Everyone was surprised and happy to see Cheryl so that was nice.  The luncheon was good.  We took them home and reminded them that we were just a phone call away.

I got laundry started yesterday but am finishing it up today.  Unless Helen calls us, we have nothing on the calendar for today or tomorrow. I can assure you that I will not be setting the alarm clock and if I sleep until 9:00ish, so be it!!  LOL

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!!  Thanks for your visit!  Peace & hugs!
