Keeping Busy

Mom had her staples removed on Monday. The doctor said she is doing fine but cannot do much or lift much for four more weeks. Mom will be a basket case by then.

She has even gone shopping. If you know my Mom you know she does not like to shop. She went to Pet store, Pier One, TJ Max, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, and Ross all in one day.

She is on a redecorating binge too. She has been measuring windows, picking up paint chips and looking at new lamps. The computer room is getting full of stuff to try to sell at a yard sale. I checked and Skeeter and I are safe. None of our toys are in the "Pile".

She had to take an elderly friend to the hospital today. She was gone all day. He is too old to come home by himself so I think his family is going to have to put him into a nursing home or at least assisted living.

We have had lots of bad thunder storms. Last night there were several tornado warnings. WE escaped but came close again.Last night the lightening was very close. One shook the house just after we went to bed so I slept between Mom and Dad all night.

Mom can't dig a garden because of her surgery but a friend suggested doing some container gardening. We will try some tomatoes and peppers if nothing else. Time to go shopping again at the nursery.
