Jenny came! Daddy had started down the hill with the snow plow and Jenny started up the hill so when they met, Daddy backed up and quit, and Jenny had to back off the hill and try again. She made it and brought a trainee this time. Daddy's weight hasn't changed since last week, and he told her his appetite had improved!! He did come to the table today, I think he took Mommy's hunger strike serious!! I had Ruth's canned Pork Loin with gravy, mashed potatoes, and of course, the butter beans and Cornbread. Daddy ate a spoon of mashed potatoes, the bacon out of the beans (yuk), at least one piece and put the other piece in the pork and gravy. I fished it out after he got up from the table and fed it to the cats.
You wanna hear something funny? Trish and I bought groceries yesterday and Trish hasn't been up here since I brought them up and put them away. Trish suggested we buy them some oatmeal cakes so we did.
Conversation:
Me: Mommy, what are you having?
Mommy: Oh, I thought I would eat me an oatmeal cake that Trish brought me.
Me: How did you know Trish bought them?
Mommy: Oh, she brought them to me one day last week and said, "Mommy, I thought you and Daddy might like these and I told her Yes, they were one of our favorites." You want one?
Me: Yeah, I think I'll have one.
Mommy: You can have two if you want!
Yesterday, she wanted to know who that man was that stayed with them and Trish had to take him to get on 64. I didn't know what she was talking about and then it dawned on me, it was Steve. Trish followed him out Sat morning to make sure he made it to 64.
They're sitting on the couch drinking an RC Cola now.
