Thursday - May 18

Wow, the winds just keep on blowing......and now predicted at least thru Sunday!    Very sad news from yesterday's dust storm when there were multiple accidents across IL cause of poor visibility and one man was killed and several injured.
 
I walked this morning and then left for Panera and met Mary Carol for breakfast.    She is so much fun and after being with she and Tom in Vero Beach in March, we had made a plan to meet for coffee.     So good catching up and plan to do it again in September and this time with the guys.

I left Panera and went to Bickford House to see Norma......she and her family were neighbors for many years on Jackson Street.   Norma has been struggling with health issues in recent years and now diagnosed with Alzheimer's.    I had not seen her since last fall but heard she has some good days occasionally.     She is so frail and had no idea who I was, but just sat in her wheelchair and smiled occasionally and then fell asleep.

I have so many happy memories shared with Norma - babies, grandchildren, birthdays, weddings and fun girlfriend outings.    My heart is breaking for this very dear lady and her family and for all those suffering from this dreadful disease, along with their families and caregivers.

Back to Daisy - hot 'n sunny with the winds still blowing but nothing like yesterday.

We saw the boys baseball team play at the Corncrib (minor league team).    They each got to bat once and although they didn't do too well (Liam did get on base), it was a neat experience for them to play on the astro turf where the big guys play!    And a nice evening to be at the ballpark.
  
 All Stars
 
 A transport truck picked Toad up yesterday morning from my Aunt Dee's home in Daytona Beach and is now on its way back to IL.    We'll be in the Chicago area Sunday and will pick it up!
