Days 55 - 59

Days 55 - 59 - February 24- 28 - I knew I was behind in this, but not that far. I guess I've been more tired and sleepier in the evenings than I thought. Plus, I think my days are off. I think starting in March, I'll just use the date. Will be easier for me to keep track of.

My last post was of Joannie's skate, so that was Wednesday, I think. Her skate was on Tuesday, but I imagine it was too late after to do it. So, this will be Thurs - Sunday.

Thursday the girls were here while Jodi went to her doctor's appointment. We had a good time together. They were watching something on TV and I needed to do something, so left the room. A little while later Bethany came in and said, "Nana, we aren't allowed to watch this show." So, I went into the living room and changed the channel. I thought that was very obedient of them to tell me they weren't allowed to watch something. Sometimes parents forget to say if something is forbidden. Usually the child won't say anything. Good for Bethie!! I am thankful that she is learning obedience, even though I know it is hard sometimes.

Friday we went to Elaine and Leon's after supper. I wanted to go through Dad's photo albums to see if I could find some pictures of Dale and I for our book. We had a good time looking at the pictures. Leon had fun teasing Elaine about her huge glasses (didn't we ALL have them?), but we did look rather like bugs back then! :) I did find some pictures, but I also found a picture Dad had taken of my mom and dad when they had visited back in 1980. It was such a good picture of them, almost the best I have besides ones done in portrait studios. I'm thankful for pictures and for the memories they evoke of our loved ones and good times gone by.

Saturday was just another regular day for us. It's our "run errands" day. It was cold and windy, but the sun came out and warmed things up a bit. Promise of things to come, I guess. I'm thankful we are still able to get around a do things for ourselves, even if sometimes we hurt afterward! Don't forget the cane!!

Sunday - Lucas was here for some "alone" time with us. He was in school on Thurs. and missed coming. He watched the race with Papa and tried to see some of the hockey game. We love having him here. The closing ceremonies for the Olympics was on, too. I'm glad it's over. I like watching some of the events, but 17 days is a lot! Me, I slept this afternoon and got a good nap in - THAT'S what I'm thankful for! And now my bed is calling me again. I'm thankful for that, too. Goodnight!
