It was a looong weekend. I went home Friday at noon with chills, aches, intestinal issues, etc. I slept hard (the drool kind), but still felt achy when I got up. Around 7:00 p.m., I could feel the bug, or whatever it was, leaving my body. Terry’s niece, Tiffany, and her girls stayed with us Friday night. Saturday, I was feeling pretty much good as new. We (Terry, Brad, Tiffany & girls) drove 6 hours to Wisconsin and spent time with Terry’s family. It was good to see everyone. Brad and I drove home on Sunday. Terry & Tiffany stayed for Terry’s dad’s surgery on Tuesday (having bladder removed due to cancer).
On a lighter note, Tiffany’s girls, Jaelynn (3) and Gaby (11 months), were an absolute joy. Brad and Jaelynn built a fort with tray tables and blankets. Brad took it down, because he didn’t want Gaby to get hurt. Jaelynn came up to me and said, “Your brother took down my house.” Wow, that made me feel good, even if she doesn’t get the whole family tree thing! I can’t wait to be a grandma!
On the other hand, on the way home from Wisconsin, the McDonald’s guy asked me if I needed the senior discount; I am 45 years old. I told him no and explained it’s the gray hair thing. He got all embarrassed, but I just laughed it off and told him I should start asking for a discount anyway.
The weather is absolutely gorgeous! I had two good runs on Saturday afternoon and tonight. I don’t know how long the warmth will last, but I am going to enjoy this little gift from God while it is here!
