The memorial service was very nice and a great tribute to our fallen Firefighters.  May God be with all those who are grieving the loss of their lives.

Today we met Sandi and Irwin  at Starbucks

  "Oh what a wonderful morning, oh what a wonderful day!"Yes, Damian is really singing and he is very happy too!

Now this little 7 year old has the right idea.....mom is on the patio... .." I'm keeping cool inside!"


                                                                                   

Irwin and Sandi agree with the little boy...it is too hot!  That little boy was smart to come inside!  lol!

Sandi needs to get a license if she is going to continue offering Vicki these services! Chin up!  lol!

Sandi asked me if I wanted her service too!  Vicki looks quite happy with less whiskers!  lol!

Here is your Rosine update for today....she would not smile so that Vicki could take her picture for the blog.  The nurse said she is doing so well that she may be off hospice soon and she may be walking soon!  lol!  I envision her  walking on water in her near future!  lol!  On the negative side ...she is experiencing neuropathy in her  feet and did not feel the pediatrist cutting her nails.

Now, there is a story I must tell you so you can better understand the dilemma we are having!  When Vicki's dad, Lolly, was getting ready to die this is what happened.  One Sunday afternoon Lolly's grandson came to visit.....now you need to know that Lolly had decided he had lived long enough so he retired to his chair and waited for the angel of death to arrive!  lol!  I am laughing because Lolly was 90 years old and was only suffering from a bad knee!  Anyway on with the story...all  of a sudden the grandson Robby, went marching out of the house with all of Lolly's clothes except for a few items.  "Where are you  going,Robby, with all of my clothes?"  "Thanks grandpa " and off Robby went with his new wardrobe.  6 months later, while in Lolly's assisted living room, Rosine packed up what little bit of clothes that he had left, put them in the suitcase and snuck them out of the room!  "where are you going with my suitcase?"  Lolly yelled!  You don't need it, Rosine said!

Now, you are thinking what does this have to do with anything?  Well, when Rosine was in the hospital and she told us that she would only be wearing hospital gowns from now on AND we were to give all of her clothes away....we believed her!  So, we did just like mama did and we got rid of all of mama mia's clothes!  lol!  Well, now here is the dilemma...she wants them back...how could we do such a thing?  lol!  It was really easy...monkey see, monkey do!  lol!  So, we have decided to go shopping at Goodwill!  lol!  Can you believe it?

We are hiding in the house.....we have a very busy day tomorrow and yes, I am going to the cardiologist and then to the spa day!

Tami is in Las Vegas but I don't know where she is staying!  Hope she gets to play a slot and win me a lot of money!

Be careful out there!
