Wishing for Spring
Well, I am sure wishing that the weather could just be nice like it was yesterday until it is springtime. Sometimes it just isn't fun living in the Midwest when it is nice one day and cold and wet the next! Oh well, it will be spring before we know it.
Well, mom and dad had a pretty good Valentine's Day. Dad ate his soup at supper pretty and was up for quite a while last night. I talked to him for quite a while. I can't always understand him on the phone, he was on a roll last night talking about something. I caught bits and pieces of it, but it was quite a conversation, so I didn't care. I was just happy to hear his voice. He ended our conversation with, "well, I think I will sleep now, here is your mom". Mom said he had been telling her the same thing, but he didn't rest for too long before he was back up. Later when Danna called she was telling him about the flowers and balloon she got from Kevin that talked. Apparently he was quite interested in it and wanted her to bring it down so he could see it, right then. Mom and Danna got quite a chuckle out of it. He was very animated last night. He then got upset with mom for talking on the phone. He said he was trying to get her attention and she just kept talking and talking and talking. (Which may be true, we all call and keep her on the phone most of the night, but she is always very attentive to whatever dad needs!) He was just full of opinions last night.
This morning mom said that dad slept pretty well and was up for breakfast about 7:30. Which was good since today was the day for him to get cleaned up. She washed his hair, shaved his whiskers and brushed his teeth, too. She said he was sleeping pretty good after all that and was still napping when I called. Before rested both Grandma Scott and Aunt Kathy called. Dad talked to each of them, which was good. Mom was hoping that Aunt Kathy could come down tonight so she could go to the boys basketball game. Tonight is Parent's Night, so she may call Glen and Sandy Howard to see if they could come over. Mom said, it is hard to believe that basketball season is almost over, they missed the whole thing. They usually hardly miss a game.
Mom was also doing a few things for school when I called this morning. She had baked some rye bread that one of the students started yesterday for his foreign foods unit. She did redo her grade sheet for grading the cakes the kids decorated. Plus she was going to have to make more frosting for the cake demo today, because Mrs. Wood called and they used most of the other she made in the 1st hour class. Mom also said that Apria came by this morning to get the C-pap machine that dad hadn't used in a while. They got a bill for it and thought it was pretty worthless to pay for it, since he wasn't using it....
I wanted to thank Verlee for the post yesterday. You are very kind. I told mom that you posted a comment and she said that was nice. She said that we have met, just as I had thought, in Harlan, before you moved, it was a long time ago, though! : ) Have fun with the wedding plans! Congratulations to your daughter as well!
Thanks to everyone for checking on dad. We really do appreciate it! Hope you all have a great day!
