Tumble

Well somehow last night dad took a tumble out of bed and mom was not quite quick enough to catch him. He is fine. He said "I was reaching for the lawn chair" --- so it was kind of a restless night, because he was confused. He was pretty worn out this morning when I called and was
sleeping soundly.

Mom is feeling and sounding much better today. Not having to go to school yesterday really helped her rest up. Yesterday afternoon Pastor John did come for his visit and they had communion. He told Pastor John he wasn't going to eat dinner and he did, so that was good. Dad didn't eat his lunch, but did eat well last night and even had some ice cream
before bed.

I am off today, because I worked on Sunday, so I am heading down to Randolph to hang out with mom and dad tonight. Mom is working on sanding a chair and refinishing it, so I am going to Home Depot to check out paint samples for it and take those down. Then once she decides on
a paint, I will have a few more things to get. Then the projects will begin. When Kevin and Danna come down they are going to really talk about making the back porch into a sun porch and the new shelves and lighting. It should be a pretty quick makeover, since they already have
all the nice new windows in the porch. A few cosmetic changes, cleaning and some new storage and it should be about done... I am looking forward to the finished product!

Today's visitors are Colleen Alley and Jill from hospice. Mom had given the birds more food and water this morning, but decided not to run into the bank. Dad was just a bit to restless for that. But she thought she may have time on her way to school.

Short message today. Not many visitors and since mom was a bit under the weather, she was taking it easy. I am sure the stories about her students making pies will begin soon. Thanks for checking on Dad and have a great day!

Nic
