Ready to March

Happy New Year!

Didn't we just celebrate the start of 2017?

I looked at my calendar today and saw the date was February 28.

Two months gone, just like that.... Poof!

Happy March Month!

Weekend Novelties

Although some of the things I did this past weekend were "the usual" (such as breakfast out on Saturday, church on Sunday, and doing laundry), I also did some not-so-usual things.

Lew and I visited Mom at the rehab place on Saturday and Sunday. It was good to see her.

I intended to do our taxes on Saturday afternoon. I did not. We went out and bought a new chair instead. It is for me.  :)

And our taxes? I made myself do them yesterday!

Lew's Logbook: Old School Talk

(Lew writes today. Enjoy his post! ~ Tracy)

Today I happened to meet a person that I knew from elementary school through high school.

We knew of each other but did not travel in the same circles and rarely, if ever, interacted with each other.

That did not stop us from talking for about 30 or 40 minutes as we reminisced about all the people we knew and some of our shared experiences. Both of us were Munjoy Hill kids.

It was a fun encounter. We probably would have chatted longer but we ran out of time.

I went home and pulled out my high school year book and took a trip back in time.

My 50th high school reunion is happening this summer. My, how time flies.

Friday Fun

Things to do instead of write a blog post:

• Watch two episodes of Frasier.
• Start the dishwasher.
• Unpack the latest box from Amazon.
• Watch Last Man Standing.
• Look for more fun stuff on Amazon.com.
• Get caught up on some reading.

It's been a long week in many ways, so I'm not feeling very creative for today's post. (Not that I'm usually creative, but let's not shatter the illusion.)

Thanks for checking in.

Best wishes for a great weekend!

Mom Update

Dad went in to see Mom today. He said she is looking better but is in a lot of pain — especially in her shoulder.

We are not sure how long she will be at rehab. Apparently a meeting is scheduled for Tuesday to discuss her case, so she'll be there until at least then.

I haven't been in to see her yet, but Lew and I are planning on going Saturday after breakfast.

It's too bad we can't take the kitties. They miss her!

Dad 346: Spouse Is the One

(Please keep my mom in your prayers! Dad explains below. ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Another beautiful pre-spring day melting a lot of snow. Tomorrow should be even better.

This will be a brief blogpost on the last 24 hours.

Everyone has probably heard that one in three elderly people will fall this year. Well, Mary Lou took a tumble last night getting ready to brush her teeth before slipping into bed. Phone call 911. Of course, Glen was here as soon as the call went out.

Off to Maine Medical Center around 7:00 PM. X-rays showed a break above the left elbow and a fracture of the collarbone. Very painful. (Fortunately these breaks are on the stroke-affected side.)

I returned from Maine Med and was in bed by 4:00 AM. Was up at eight and spent the afternoon in the hospital. At 5:30 PM Spouse was transferred to New England Rehab for in-patient therapy. I'll see her tomorrow.

More details next week, soooo....

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!

Friendversary

Facebook wished me a "Happy Friendversary" today. It is my eight-year Facebook Friendversary with Lew, my own husband.

Thank you, Facebook, for telling me that friendships are something special. But I am amused that my "Married to Lew" relationship status didn't tip you off.

Anyway....

Happy Friendversary, Lew!
