Spring ?!?

Finally we have Spring, at least for one day! Maybe the lawn will dry out enough to be mowed.  Unless you live in a Northern climate you won't understand what a delight it is to go outside in the sun and not be bundled up.  I just can't believe that I was sitting outside in shirtsleeves, it was awesome. 


This weekend is the ALS Gala and auction.  Marlene came up from Bakersfield, Kari and Garrett will be here from Eugene and Todd and Cindy will be joining us at the gala.  Marlene had to come up early and stay late because it takes two of us to keep Dave in line.  This is one of the major fundraisers for the association and it always has fun things to auction. 


In the meantime, Marlene and I will try to get into as much trouble as we can.  This might include a trip to the nursery to give Dave something to do in his "spare time".  We might be helpful by walking Quincy once or twice, but we don't want to be too helpful. 


After 28 straight days of rain in March and 5 so far in April, the soccer fields are soaking and the city has cancelled all games.  That means the grandsons are only involved in two baseball games rather than 2 baseball and 2 soccer.  Almost like a weekend off. 


After Dave's dad spent several weeks in the skilled nursing section of his retirement community, he is now back in his own place.  Of course there were restrictions placed on him by family and caregivers, the big one is that he was informed that he couldn't drive anymore.  They also have medication management which takes a big load off of him.  Now he will be back eating breakfast in the dining room so that he gets more nutrition and that one wasn't a battle! 


Just to make sure Dave had enough stress Quincy needed some medical help too!  I think Dave would have run away if he could have, but things are looking  better, Quincy is doing fine, his Dad is better and I'm still here!  And, Sherry makes sure that I'll always be here.  Least life isn't dull!
