Tuesday in Fort Worth

We were like the Three Musketeers today!

Me, Summer and Candie!

They went with me to Fort Worth to visit Mother.

Last night as I was writing - and knowing I was going to Fort Worth the next day - I almost titled the post 'Thursday! THURSDAY!' instead of Monday.

Since we are planning on staying in the country for awhile, I thought it would be good to see her. Last time I was gone for a few weeks she thought I was sick.

Mother was especially glad to see Summer!

All the grandchildren call her 'Granny' - except for Amber and Benjamin who insisted on calling her Grandma. I like Grandma but I love being a MiMi, a Bella and a MeeMaw! I think each name is special because they picked it out.

I took Mother new make up and a couple of ball point pens.

She let me know of a couple more things she needs and then we asked how she liked her nightgown from Summer. 

Turns out it was not a hit. She wore it once but prefers pajamas. No problem. I will get her a pair and bring them on my next visit. What happens to the nightgown??

Win! WIN!!!! I get to take it to the camper with me tomorrow! So now I have a city gown and a country gown! It just so happened the fabric design is the same as the flannel sheets I have on the bed in the camper! How cool is that??

We left when they brought Mother and Lillian's lunch in.

Next time I come, I will bring them some food food as they barely eat the meals served there.

Today I brought them cookies and M&M's. I should have brought sandwiches and chips.

I felt kind of guilty when we had such good lunches ourselves at La Madeleine!

Our table was right by the fireplace!

I had left my iPad at the nursing home so we went back and I ran in to get it.

We saw this gorgeous tree as we were driving to Nita's to drop off Mother's laundry.

We left at 10:45 and were back home before 3:00!

Normally when Ruth Ann and I go to Fort Worth we do good to get home before 5:00!

Summer and Candie both live just about an hour or a little more from my house - in different directions - so they were able to get home before bad traffic.

I went back out to get some milk for Louis Dean and hit up two thrift stores and walked out of both without buying one thing. It can happen and does from time to time.

I leave you with these wise words I saw on Sister Luann's Facebook page yesterday.....

I think we will watch a little TV and go to bed early so we can get up early.

I've packed up the pantry food to take to the ranch and cleaned out the fridge.

That's what we are eating for supper tonight! All those leftovers that have accumulated!

What we don't eat will go down the disposal......unless I can bag it and feed it to the goats tomorrow!

I never feel as bad about wasting food when I know the goats need to eat, too!
