Thursday With the Ladies and Happy 7th Birthday to the Quads!

It was a Ladies Salad Luncheon at the home on Thursday.

I had planned to be there early before they brought lunch around but managed to get there shortly before noon. Both Lillian and Margaret opt to eat on trays in their room instead of going to the dining room. I don't know why. Perhaps because they don't usually eat the meals. I don't know which I would choose if I were in their place. 

I have decided not to serve the lunches I bring in their room.

Too cramped and it doesn't make it special like sitting together at a table does.

the home is being repainted and fixed up and our usual living area was still under construction.

The big open room at the front was already occupied by a family who had spread out a tablecloth and was serving a lunch much like the one I was serving.

So I used the private dining room which worked out just fine.

Margaret was in a good mood that day!

And I noticed that Lillian was wearing a bit of make up and a pretty blouse!

She and I are going shopping again in July. This time with a wheelchair so she doesn't have to walk.

The windows in the dining room look out to the back veranda where there is a whole row of rocking chairs lined up.

After we had eaten, we went out there to hear the birds and watch the butterflies.

The weather was perfect!

Neither one of them had been out there just to sit a spell. 

I think I would go outside everyday. Especially when it rains.

It made me feel good how all the staff stopped and paid attention to Lillian and Margaret.

They seem to be popular with both the staff and the residents.

We went in after 45 minutes or so and I changed the sheets on the beds and fluffed up  their rooms.

No need for a grocery run this time.

It will be 20 days before I go back so I lingered a little longer to sit and visit.

Next week will be a busy one for us with a medical appointment for one or the other of us every day except Monday and I am having a friend over for lunch that day.

After Louis Dean's routine appointment with his primary care doctor on Friday, we are heading to the ranch. No matter our yard is still under construction and nothing is really finished out there.

We have no deadlines. It will be there when we get back and my big goal this year is to be at the ranch for some time every single month.

I stopped at Hobby Lobby for quilt batting and thread and then drove the Express lanes all the way to Irving during rush hour traffic. Made it home in about 45 minutes.

For some reason I was starving and fixed a big glass of tea, ate two small pieces of Louis Dean's leftover pizza, the rest of the pasta salad from lunch and a big bowl of watermelon.

Finally, I was full!

It was 6:50 when I decide to take a little nap and 10:00 that night when I woke up.

I stayed up long enough to take a shower and wash my hair and went right back to bed and didn't get up until 9:00 this morning. I was more tired than I thought I was and I have rested a good bit today.

I had my morning coffee in this special cup Amber gave us.

Their party is Saturday but the family birthday dinner was tonight at Texas Roadhouse.

We gave them season passes to the pools for the summer as their birthday gift. 

Amber and all four of her children love the water!

This afternoon I wrote each child a special birthday letter and gave them tonight when we went back to their house for birthday cake and gifts. 

It was a Happy BIRTHDAY kind of night!!!!
