HOME AGAIN

This morning I took Nancy to her 11:15 appointment. We got there and found that the appointment wasn't in the computer. They asked her to come back at 1. Her son, John, had driven in from Oklahoma so we went to eat at the Old South Pancake and Family Restaurant. I had always wanted to eat there. Nancy had lived in FW for years and had considered it a favorite eating spot. We all enjoyed what we at. I had the Senior menu steak and it was good. I brought half of it home. I wondered about the size of the regular menu steak.

I dropped them back at the doctor's office and came on home. Nancy gave me the report that she can keep the sling off unless she feels like she needs it. The stitches are healed and almost all gone. She has some small exercises but has to wait for more healing before she uses the arm for any heavy lifting. Has to stay under one pound. She got home and took a shower and felt great not to have the sling on. Her son's main job is to burn a brush pile tomorrow while the humidity is up.

I appreciated seeing all the water in the ditches coming home. I had a little over an inch in my gauge. My glass gauge froze and broke last week. I didn't have any mail in my box so tomorrow it will be full. I did get a UPS delivery tonight after dark and now have a new steam iron. It says to use tap water, but I will still use distilled water in it.

On the way home I stopped to visit with Pete and Mary from my SS class. Today is his 90th birthday. He looks great and has no pains until he gets up to walk and has a little pain in his hips. I hope I am that good when I hit 90. I took one of those internet tests to predict how long I will live and am shooting for 120 although it said 106 was my best bet. This is a different perspective for me because I never thought I would get past 67, the age my father died. All of his and my mother's brothers died at that age or younger. But I finally realized that they were all heavy smokers. Makes a difference.

Kathy and Vaness are on the way and will be here any minute.
