Now Playing: A few days with Mandy home
Well, I made it! I am 56 years old! It feels so strange to state it. I think of myself as a young woman. I don't feel old. I don't think old. So, I guess that means, I AM NOT OLD! Yee ha! 56 is not old, just seasoned and ready for the next half! Or so.
Mandy came in on Wednesday and Wilbert and I picked her up at the airport from her 3:10 flight. She looks wonderful. I had not seen her since her emergency appendectomy. When she showed me the scars I was very surprised. She has a "dot" at the edge of her belly button, not really noticeable. She has a well healed almost invisible scar diagonal to that a couple inches to the right, about 1/4 " long, or even less. And a really tiny one also at the pubic hair line. How do those doctors do that? I am amazed at the medical technology of Laproscopy surgery. She healed well and feels great.
We went to Willie and Jackie's from the airport. She was so surprised at how big Cohen got. We waited for Willie and got Popeye's chicken and fixings for supper. After we ate, we set off for home. We stopped at Kendra's on the way back so she could see the Chouest gang. Ironically, she said Lauren still looked much the same, just a bit bigger. Yes, a wee bit bigger!
Then we came home. She had to get to bed early because Thursday she went with Kendra to Children's Hospital Clinic for Justin's chemo shot. That was a long day as Eric also had an appt at 3 for an EEG. It doesn't seem that it is seizures. We have not gotten the results from Dr. Bacuda yet.
I cooked a roast, veggies and rice for supper and everyone ate.
Friday, I went to clean Sharon's house. Since Mandy was going to sleep late anyway, I didn't see a reason not to go or to wait until today. So, I went and was back around noon.
Willie and Jackie came in on Friday night. So we really had a full house. Willie, Mandy and Isaac got up very early and went fishing. They were back for about 11:00. We nibbled a bit here and there, and then Wilbert boiled the crabs. They were good. Fat and full of eggs and really meaty. We had a few left, so we gave them to Lisa to bring home to her boys. She had come over to see Cohen and Mandy. Then late in the afternoon, Mandy and Isaac took off to go get snowballs. They came back with snowballs, but also with a beautiful birthday cake made into the shape of a hat! Red, of course, with purple trim. It was so good!
Last week, before I forget, also, on Thursday, Wilbert and I went car shopping and ordered a new car. It will be in in about 5 weeks. A 2006 Chrysler 300. It is so awesome! What a great car that is!
When Willie and Jackie left on Saturday night, Mandy went with them. Her flight was at 9:50 A.M. and since they live just a few minutes from the airport, it made sense to have her go with them and they took her to the airport yesterday morning. She called me when she got in. Tim was there to pick her up.
