Too funny Addy! did you happen to see David and Susan there? they went and stopped back by the house on saturday night to practice singing. Mommy and Rita had just come from church so I fixed Mommy a bite to eat and asked her if she wanted to go to bed or stay up and listen to us sing. She said "If there is gonna be singing, I want to be listening" David and I were practicing Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone, Mommy twisted her face up and said they took a good song and messed it up. Doesn't that sound like something Daddy would say. LOL So after we sang it that way, we had to go back and sing Amazing Grace the RIGHT way for her. We went to church Sunday morning and then after lunch, Emily and I took Mommy to her house to see all of the flowers and trees in bloom. Everything is budding and blooming. Daddy would be happy. I told Mommy it looked like Steve had uncovered all the little sprouts so they could stick their heads out. She wanted to sit on the porch and look but didn't want to go in the house. The Mama kitty has moved her kittens to the garage so we didn't get to see them but we could hear them. Tom Cat was there for an appearance too. We stayed for about thirty minutes then she got up and said she wanted to look in the tater house. After that she was ready to go. When we turned into her road where Kaye Martin used to live she said I don't think this is the right way to my house. And she continued to dispute the road I was taking until I showed her the road where Goldie and DAve used to live. I told her if it was pretty we would ride up today, look around. She seems to be content to do that. She got chilly while we were there and I pulled one of Daddys old blue jackets out of the closet, pretty sure its the one he wore every day while he was sick. She liked that and she wanted to wear it home. We got about a forty minute nap then we went to church again at 3 for a deacon ordination service at our church. We plan on attending the luncheon at our church at noon today if the nurse comes and goes by then. Hopefully we are going by to visit Vera afterwards. Blood pressure has been good for her all weekend so I think that part is finally licked. Although I think from the time of Daddys funeral til now she has had another mini stroke. Her speech is so much harder to come and her balance and ambulation is not so great. Also I have noticed the way she holds her hands are similar to when she had her previous strokes. But hopefully Physical Therapy should start working with her soon and showing us some strengthening exercises to do for both her legs and hands.
Love to all,
Trish
