Gail, Audrey, Shelby and I just spent 4 days at Granny Belle's and Jim's. We had a great time, thanks to Aunt Jodie, who provided most of the entertainment. The girls spent the days at Smallworld Two, where they swam and bowled and had an all round good time. They couldn't wait to get there in the morning. She also provided the supplies for us to make duct tape purses(CUTE). They were ready to get home though, because Thursday night was their stay-up-all-night time. Shelby was soo excited, she just knew she would make it all night.
Mom still has issues with their medications, although she doesn't realize she has issues. She's is convinced that the doctors are prescribing more medications to get more kickbacks from the drug companies.
Mom's new sofa is real pretty and looks great in the livingroom. Now if we could get Dad to get rid of his recliner in the tv room. When I left Dad was putting up a new mailbox. One that opens from the back as well as in the front. Now they don't even have to step out into the street to get the mail. Soo high-tech.
Dad's back is still bothering him. To what extent we don't know, it kind of depends on who is listening to him, and who is there. Gail is concerned that if he continues to favor it, it is not going to get better and he'll stay slumped over. He walks slouched over because if he straightens up it hurts.
We tried for 4 days to get them out of the house, finally we went to lunch on Wednesday, and went to Wal-mart and Lowe's. Gail insisted that Dad change his clothes and take a shower. He changed his clothes.
I feel sometimes like I'm snitching on them when I relate what is going on when I'm there, but still I think it is important that we all know what life is like for them. Really, They are both quite content, and I wonder to what extent we should disrupt that contentment. I just want them to be healthy and vibrant for several more years.
