I'm Here.....

Here is Ohio.  I would say Cincinnati, but I am staying in West Chester, Liberty Township, and Cheviot.  So, I will just say Ohio. Left Alabama Saturday morning and drove to Franklin, TN, for the night.  Had an uneventful trip.  My new car handled the drive beautifully.  Before I left home I checked all the schedules of the college football games, the Tennessee Titans schedule, and the NASCAR schedule so I wouldn’t get caught in any major traffic jam.  After a quick breakfast on Sunday morning I headed to Ohio.  Arrived at Jana’s early afternoon.  NOTE:  I got 35.5 mpg with my new car.  Jana had picked up Mom from the nursing home so she was also there.  Jana fixed an awesome supper (which we all enjoyed) and then we took Mom back to the nursing home.
 

Monday we just kind of got organized, then picked up Mom and took her with us to Frisch’s for supper.  We met Jana and David’s friends from their camping club.  It was good to see all of them.  When we left it was raining really hard.  We took Mom back to the nursing home.

 

Tuesday David went to the movies with his son Michael so Jana and I went shopping.  We really went so I could get a watch (I forgot mine).  We bought a lot of stuff and forgot to get a watch.  We then picked up Mom from the nursing home and took here to Jana’s for supper.  Took her back after supper.  We keep taking her back because she is not allowed to spend the night away from the nursing home due to insurance regulations.  She probably napped all day Wednesday.  She was pretty worn out.

 

Mom is going to start getting physical therapy this week.  She has been evaluated.  She is having a lot of pain in her feet.  It has been determined that it is arthritis.  The PT is to help alleviate some of the pain.

 

Oh yeah, on Monday and Tuesday we watched Dancing With The Stars.  Was surprised who was voted off. 

 

I am now in West Chester with Rita and Bob.  I arrived here yesterday afternoon.  Rita got home from work shortly after I arrived.  While waiting for her I took a nap.  Bob was out of town and didn’t get home until later.  So, Rita and I went to Skyline for supper.  It was soooo good.  However, it was “kids eat free night” and I think there were at least 10,000 kids in Skyline.  We were able to get a booth all the way in the back so it wasn’t bad.  Bob was home when we got back from supper.  So, we all had a drink (or two), watched the debate (YEAH ROMNEY!), Rita worked on some homework, and I don’t think we ever stopped talking. 

 

Their yard looks great.  Rita gave me some advice on a few of my plants.  In all the years that we had a Dawn Redwood on Boomer Road I did not know that they produced fruit.  She had a piece of the fruit that she picked up on one of her field trips with her class.  It was awesome.  I will have to watch the Dawn Redwood we have in Alabama more closely. 

 

Tomorrow I head for Brian’s for the weekend.  It’s going to be great seeing him, Tracy, Bradley, Steven and Samantha.  I’m looking forward to getting caught up on all the news.
