Stayin’ Home Again

Sue, my love for you is endless, and I will always be thankful to you for all the things you did for our family! You gave me a fantastic life.

We would walk for miles and miles all around the Huntington, but we would end up having tea in the old bowling and card room, now known as the teahouse. We almost wore the wheels off the wheelchair going through the many gardens, and your favorite was the cactus area.  You always worried about how hard it was for me to go up and down the hills, but I enjoyed the challenge.

Time for a spring visit to the Huntington Library and Gardens 2017 right after the medical issues began in earnest

So this morning’s activity is to go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and pick up some herbs.  I finally have an appreciation for why you wanted fresh herbs around the house.  I shall populate the garden with your favorites!

Home Depot was open, and all the herbs were outside on racks, so I made my selections.  I planted them, and now they are happy!

It’s a start

After the planting, I made my “taco kit.”  Rebecca brought me over a chicken taco kit, and it was delicious.  I had three taco’s and was not hungry for the rest of the day! She also made chicken dumplings; I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  Thank you, Becca!

I needed social contact, so I called a staff meeting at Vicky’s house!  Ed Roberts joined us in the driveway at 1:00 PM sharp, and we both killed off a bottle of wine while we met with Vicky and Del for a couple of hours.  

We decided to compare our “bucket lists” next week!and then Joe

I planned to go home and rest for a few minutes before going back to work around the house.  Best laid plans of mice and men; I woke up at 7:00 PM when Robin called.  The wine did a job on me!

Colleen called then Joe, so it was a busy evening.

I love visiting my grandsons on the Bat Phone!! All sorts of crazy!

It’s 9:00 PM, and I am heading for bed, watch a little TV, and crash.  Tomorrow, I plan to work work work!  No more staff meetings!

About Paul

Just an old retired guy trying to finish out my last years on this planet. I lost my best friend and wife in early 2020. I was blessed again by reconnecting with Dr. Mary Côté, a long-time friend. Mary and I got married July 28th, 2021, and are enjoying life together and plan to spend the rest of our lives being a blessing to our friends and family.
