This was my weekend to stay with my Mother and since I was a little early getting to her house, I decided it would be a good idea to get some Chinese Food for our supper. I got Lee's famous Fried Rice and Mongolian Beef. Her favorite and my favorite!
It was so funny when, after a little while, I started preparing her plate. She was intently working a puzzle, so I didn't say anything to her, but when I put the plate on the table, she looked at it and SLAPPED her book and pen down in front of her. She had the biggest smile on her face, she just lit up. I asked her if she was happy about the Chinese food and she said "Of course I am, where did we get it"? I love her.
Next day I cut about 4-5 inches off of her hair. Whew, she has been needing a haircut. Trouble was, she moved her head worse than a three year old. Round and round, up and down, no matter how many times I reminded her. One time I told her very loudly, "Momma, quit moving your head"!! Then, I laughed, and so did she. But, we did get the job done and she looked much better.
I visited with Anne a while and she and Dale are going to have to find a house. So we talked about it and looked at houses listed online. Hopefully, they will buy one that is very close to Mother's house. It seems really nice and is very pretty. Has great curb appeal! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
On Sunday, I was able to visit with one of my favorite friends, Kathy Douthit, for a little bit. We are going to the U.K. in May of 2020. She's guiding me through the whole process, because I've never done it before. We have to buy plane tickets that take us to England where we meet up with our cruise ship. The cruise ship take us to all kind of ports in England, Ireland and Scotland. I'm so excited!! Who wouldn't be? I hope I'm still alive next May.
We talked about quilt retreat and our friends from St. Michael. I am so glad I got to see and visit with her. She always makes me feel good. And we think so much alike. so much alike!!
The last time I stayed with Mother I was very tired and so I didn't take anything to do, just my computer and Sudoku puzzle book. Needless to say, I was bored out of my mind, so this time I brought some scrapbooking projects to work on. I felt better doing something. I also ran across a great deal at Michaels for ATG tape, so I made a big purchase of 5 packs of it! BINGO, once again, I was very happy!
Overall, a pretty nice weekend, don't you think?
