Happy, Happy Birthday Annette!!!
The Birthday Girl and Carlos

Stormed early this morning and then foggy, dreary and chilly.   After breakfast I left Bob and Linda's and stopped at St. Mary's cemetery to put a basket of spring flowers on Mom's grave.   Enjoyed a wonderful massage from Judi.   My shoulder has been so achy with the cold, damp weather we've had,    Judi is "wonder woman"....along with being our very special, treasured advocate for Dad, our cousin, friend and nurse, she is THEE best massage therapist.  Pure heaven for one hour with the hot stones.

Stopped to see Dad - doing a little better today and a different nurse from yesterday says he does not have shingles!!!  Not sure what's going on, but she's thinking a combination of so many things caused from the COPD, congestive heart failure, etc.   At least Dad was up more today and went to the dining room for breakfast and lunch.    Between the pain patch, Vicodin and Tylenol, we're praying for some relief SOON!

The sun came out after lunch and what a pretty day!    Nice drive home and temperature reached 80 degrees!    YEAH!!! Mark was sure a good doobie while I was gone - had cleaned out both garages, raked the front yard and other odd jobs here and there!   He's a keeper!

Good to be home, but just for a bit as we'll head north again tomorrow afternoon for my Aunt Dorothy's visitation and then funeral on Monday.

We played phone tag with Annette, so hope to catch up with her tomorrow!
