Gene & Jeanie’s Surprise!
My brother and his better half picked us up at 3:45PM to go out to dinner, an early birthday event. They changed locations on us and we went to Lucky’s in Almont some 50 miles from home.
Jay had Pecan Crusted Walleye, I had Stuffed Salmon, and Gene and Jeanie had steak. An excellent meal. But the surprise came on the way home.
Jeanie’s four daughters, one son, and her grandkids had cake, ice cream, and gifts for me. Such a warm thing for these people to do because I had only met them when I clowned for Jeanie’s birthday party. Just gives you a little lump in the throat. Thank you guys!
Sorry I Was Reading
I last posted on Valentine day? Where the hell have I been? Deep in the world of Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods.” What an adventure that has been! 588 pages that at first seemed insurmountabe but flew by my eyes and fingers in record time.
A trip to the Dr.’s office yesterday confirmed the results of the scan . Little or no change in the condition of the lungs. In fact Dr. said if anything the condition has improved a tiny bit. Well my mom used to say I was as big as a horse so I guess being as healthy as one is the next step!
I am still in shock over being able to read most things without my glasses after having them perched on my nose everytime I picked something up to read. No I don’t have a sugar problem. We checked that last fall when I first noticed the change in my eyes. Believe me I’m not complaining—I’m delighted!
Tonight the blind guy I live with and I are off to dinner with my brother and his significant other. Four old farts on the loose!!! (in more ways than one)!
As my kids used to say I Love You (mommy) I’ll try to do better (and not leave you alone!)
