I really don't need to go into detail here because you already know how our week went and that we were back at the hospital on Saturday morning. Joe is feeling MUCH better now and we just need to connect with the urologist today (hopefully - please God - today) to get the foley removed.
The weekend was low-key after we got home. Helen and Cheryl came by for a visit. We did not go to church yesterday, but I did do some cleaning, some laundry, and baked some pumpkin bread from my mom's recipe. It is the only pumpkin 'thing' I really like. It makes two loaves. I gave one to our Canadian neighbors, who just arrived yesterday, and got a big hug from Jill. It is nice to have them back for the winter!
Our friend and fellow church member (and our Sunday school teacher) came by for a visit in the late afternoon yesterday. It was good catching up with him. We always have good conversations. His wife and I worked together at the Museum for years before she retired. She was our Deputy Director and had the office next to mine. We have known him (and her) since 1997. Judy died of a brain tumor but fought a hard battle for a couple of years. This is them at Mayfaire back in 2008. Her hair was growing back in.
We ordered dinner from Cheddar's. Take out is a great way to go!! Joe had the sirloin steak and I had the New Orleans pasta. While we were eating, Sharon (next-door neighbor) popped in and talked with us while we ate. She had eaten and didn't mind at all. It was a bit awkward but we enjoyed her visit.
Later, Joe had the baseball game on. Vinny decided to get on my lap while I was reading blogs and Facebook. I put the cat video on for him and he watched for a good 20 minutes. Silly boy!
And that was our weekend. Counting on them being more fun as Joe heals! We have Art Crawl coming up on November 2nd and I am determined to attend. It is an outdoor art festival of up-and-coming artists (meaning their work is more affordable than those at Mayfaire). It is in Lakeland's central park, Munn Park, and the Farmers' Market will also be going on. Hoping my knees will hold out this year. I haven't been for two years!
Thanks for your visit today!! Peace & hugs!! God bless!!
So nice of friends to drop by and glad to hear Joe is getting better. Getting that foley out will make him feel even better. Take care of you along the way my friend.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that friends have dropped by to visit, and that Joe is healing now and you are feeling so much better too. I do hope you get to go to the art show, but one day at a time. That pumpkin bread looks wonderful, and I'm sure your friends appreciated it! I know I would! I love that your Vinny enjoys watching the "cat videos" on the computer. That is so funny. You are blessed to have such sweet fur babies to snuggle up to you while you work! Have a blessed week, and try not to overdo it, but enjoy each day together. You are blessed!
ReplyDeleteI hope Joe is able to get in to see the Dr today. Mmm your pumpkin bread looks yummy. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHope you can get into see the doc today! Sounds like you have everything under control. You make a very good nurse, Terri.
ReplyDeleteHope he feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkin loaves look wonderful! That Vinny is a hoot! Thinking of y'all and praying Joe's urologist makes time to see him today!
ReplyDeleteThose pumpkins loaves look wonderful. And - I am glad Joe is better.
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed to have so many good friends that care and come to visit. Yummy, the pumpkin bread looks delicious, I'm a pumpkin lovin' lady. Prayers for Joe, hope all goes well with the urologist.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a nice weekend and that pumpkin bread looks delicious. Makes me want to bake something when I get off work tonight.
ReplyDeleteYour pumpkin bread looks amazing, Terri! Maybe, you could share the recipe with us here?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Joe is steadily improving with each passing day. Hope he gets that Foley removed soon!
Blessings!
Martha Jane, I added back my "Recipe" tab above and the first recipe is my momma's pumpkin bread. I always use pecans but walnuts work too, or no nuts at all.
DeleteI've been so busy with my momma in the hospital - I didnt even know Joe was back!! OH MY GOSH!! So glad he's doing OK now.
ReplyDeleteSounds like your weekend was ok in spite of the issues Joe had. Glad he is improving!
ReplyDeleteRunning behind here in keeping up with blog posts. SO SORRY Joe had a tough time with the UTI! That's a real bummer. I hope he got the relief he needed today at the doctor's office!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Joe is doing well better...Those pumpkin breads look absolutely amazing...one my favorite fall treats. I think I will look for a good gluten free recipe. That cat watching the video is pretty funny. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteGlad your hubby is better and may the healing continue.
ReplyDeleteI love that Vinnie watches videos. How cute is that!
