Sunday April 15

It has been a long week for Mom with much going on.  Starting with her good bye to Linda and Rob as they headed out for a vacation on Wednesday. They drove down to Texas going to areas they lived many years ago and not sure what else they had planned for their anniversary get away.  Wednesday Mickie and Mom came to pick me up and we headed to Wal Mart to pick up a birthday present for Brian. Came home and had sandwiches, beets and fruit for lunch.  When Denise got off work she came. She made meatloaf for supper. Yum. Thursday Doug, Mom and Karen went for coffee at Target running into Pat and Rene Buttweiler.  When I told him I was just showing Mom a picture of Olga Lund on a trip to Colorado Pat had to tell the story of driving home in a snow storm and Denise and Linda first drove with Irv and Olga then drove with Pat and Rene. (or it could be the other way around. So that was fun to hear. Thursday lunch was Dickie's (what else to eat on aThursday??) Pork sanwiches then home for lunch and rest. Karen scared the beejeebies out of Doug. I tripped over Robbie's dog and injured my knee. Doug put a brace on and that kept swelling down. Thursday supper Annie came and home made pizza. Denise came and we visited. Friday Ann, Mom and Karen went shopping to see if we could find Mom some new clothes. We found a few things. A lasagna supper Denise, Hannah, david, Leo and Cecelia. Katie, Stevie and Christopher were there to visit also.  Mom's sisters-Doris and Maxine came and finally got to eat after driving down from Bemidji. Saturday found us of course at Saver's. When Mom had had enough she said I want to go home. Home for nap. Roast beef supper for 16 that night. We started celbrating Brian's birthday with one of the 2 cakes Denise made. Cousin Mary and her son came to town for the day to see Mom and joined us for supper. Finally up to today. After Mom's shower we waited for Brian and Mickie to come cook a birthday lunch. Mickie made chicken enchiladas. Yum. more cake and more presents for Brian. That is all for now. I will post photos in a few posts because there are so many of them.
