Bright Sunshine!

Well this morning mom commented about how bright the sun was shining. It always makes the day start off better when the sun is shining!

Yesterday the visitors were Uncle Cliff and Bill and Alena Fichter. Bill and Alena had just gotten home from Seattle. They said they had a good trip, they didn't get home till about 1am, so thanks for coming when you had just gotten home! Mom said something about Bill only getting peanuts on the plane, and he only had 20, or something like that, I was on speaker and she was cutting out a bit.... But that way dad can hear both sides of the conversation, instead of just mom talking to me!

Mom did get to sit on the porch and drink her coffee, yesterday. She said they had a pretty good day at school. They didn't get to have their 7th hour meal because the person in charge was gone. But they had a good conversation about what they are going to do next year after they graduate. Only one of her seniors in that class has applied to college. She was surprised by that and told them that if they were going to do it, they better get busy!

Last night dad was getting cold. Which usually means that he will get sick, but surprisingly he did not. Mom had a good time watching "Lost", we talked about it and found the different things that we got out of it. Amazing how you can watch the same show and pick up on different pieces. Next week should be a good one too, I can't wait.

Last night we got a snow blower. A guy that Kirk works with was selling his. It is a good one, that would have been well out of our price range, but since it is used, it was just about right. Mom told dad, and he said "good". I said since we now have a snow blower, we probably won't get any more snow this year. : ) Which would be ok with me!

I don't believe that the last couple days blogs are getting posted, because Andy's kids have been sick and he has not been working, so I apologize for that. I am without my email too, at home, Kirk got a new computer, so he is changing everything. The old pc becomes the new server and the new pc gets all the stuff from the old pc, plus some new stuff... and so we have been without email at home since Tuesday! It is driving him crazy. But the story with that is that I don't have Andy's email address at home with me at work, so cannot send it anywhere else....

This morning mom said that dad slept pretty good. He woke up about 4 to go to the bathroom and went right back to sleep, but she couldn't get back to sleep right away. So she let dad sleep in a bit today and was running behind. She put me on speaker phone again since she was shaving dad when I called. The next tasks were to brush his teeth and wash his hair. Since he was sitting up I could hear him pretty well when he talked to me. He sounded good, but tired.

Mom also said that the lights were on all night at the new neighbor's, the Davis'. It is hard to tell during the day because the sun shines on the windows, but when she was up at 4, she saw the lights. So, don't know if that was intentional or not, but perhaps they are getting closer to moving in.

Today Colleen Alley and Jill from hospice are the visitors today. She had to change Friday's schedule because Paul has something else going on. I can't remember what for sure... something to do with a family member and a Dr. visit, I think. Sorry.

Well that about sums it up for today. Hope you are all having a good day and thanks for checking on dad!
