To Infinity and Beyond

Lew and I stopped to see Mom at the rehab facility this morning. I brought what I call "astronaut shampoo" and washed Mom's hair. She said it felt good. (The "astronaut shampoo" is No Rinse Shampoo, used by NASA.)

Dad, Lew, and I watched some college football this afternoon via streaming. Josh's team (Maine Maritime Mariners) had a tough day, but Zack's team (U. Maine Black Bears) had a good win.

Lew made a nice dinner of beans, hot dogs, and brown bread for our household. It was a meal that was yummy for the tummy.

A few loads of laundry rounded out my Saturday. Exciting!

😊

My Weather Report

It's getting cold outside.

 

STINKY!

Dad 488: Snow, Spouse, and Shed

(Snow soon? Say it isn't so! Enjoy Dad's post. ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Temperatures in the 50s today. Quite sunny. Tomorrow we'll see a little showery weather. However, after the rain slows down we are expecting snow. Along the coast only less than an inch. Further inland one to three inches. A couple pockets in the mountains will get three to six inches. This tells us winter is not far behind! STINKY!! (That's Tracy's adverb... or maybe it's adjective.)

 

Spouse seems to be gaining each day. Today she said she is ready to come home. She needs a little more work before making the jump. The sooner the better for all of us.

 

The shed piece of our shed-for-trailer-swap is up. Only must put shingles on the roof and get the siding on. And also needs the barn doors. Quite a nice looking building. We are ready to fill it up and get Lew's truck in the garage. We are progressing well.

 

More next week, sooo....

 

Until next time!

 

Toodle Pip!

 

Derf!

"They Want It More"

Last night while Lew was watching Monday Night Football he yelled out to me, "Guess what they just said?"

Apparently the Giants were doing so well, one of the announcers said, "They want it more."

Lew and I get a kick out of that statement. Perhaps it is true for a specific game every now and then, but we don't think it's great sports analysis.

Even if the Giants did "want it more," it didn't make much of a difference. They lost the game!

Progress

The new shed is going up! The platform was done on Saturday (it looked like a dance floor), and the frame was pretty much completed today. It's taller than I thought it was going to be.

Mom has been sitting up on the side of her bed all on her own. She told me tonight that she wants to start walking with her hemi-walker, although she does want two of the rehab center staff with her when she does it. I'm glad she wants to start working on getting stronger so she can come home.

I am still working on eating all of the Halloween candy. We got zero trick-or-treaters (which is what we usually get), but we still had candy available just in case. I hate to see it go to waste, so I guess it will go to my waist!

A Good Football Day

No losses today for my nephews' football teams!

Josh's team, the Maine Maritime Mariners, had a bye week. 😉

Zack's team, the University of Maine Black Bears, won 47-31. (It was a fun game to watch.)

Let's go, Mariners!  Let's go, Black Bears!
