From Tish: Well, it's been awhile, but it's great getting in touch w/ all of you again. Hope the entire, extended family is well. Jeami, it was great seeing your post. Maggie, I haven't seen you in awhile...I understand your man was in town this weekend. Hope you enjoyed his visit. We certainly had gorgeous weather. And, finally, Valerie, I loved your story about the cat. Of course, I'm a cat person so you know I would find that story very endearing.
Kate and I visited Mama and Papa yesterday. Papa was up to a visit w/ Mama so we wheeled him over to the other building. Getting him across the street was hysterical. Kate and I will have to tell you all that story one day. Once at Mama's, we took them outside and sat on the patio. Of course, Mama wanted outside of the gates so we wheeled them around the perimeter of Mama's building. All of this exhausted Papa so I took Papa back while Kate got Mama back inside.
After buying Papa more batteries for his hearing aid, we then took off for the hospital to visit Liti. It was a beautiful day, so Kate, Liti and I sat outside and spent a couple of hours chatting etc. All in all, I think we had a good visit with both Liti and Mama and Papa.
On personal note, I know some of you have not had the opportunity to visit my home in Delaware, but Don and I bought 10 Arborvitae (to act as a barrier between our house and next door neighbor's...they have 3 donkeys and llama) and a bunch of holly bushes. Hurray...we are doing some landscaping on one side of the house that is sorely in need of it. Kate, I got absolutely no housework done when I got home yesterday afternoon. Don and I took that drive up to Hoover Reservoir...it was beautiful.
Well, that's all for now. Love to all, T.
p.s. Dr. Harris took Papa off Lasix altogether and Mama has a chipped tooth. Kate is going to call about the chipped tooth because there is nothing in the log to indicate what happened. A little disconcerting. I am going to call Dr. Harris' office to see if I can find out why they took Papa off Lasix altogether.

Hi from Fran.
It is good to see some news from Columbus. I also loved Val's story
about her cat. Tish, I am glad to hear that your and Kate's visit with mama and papa was good. Regarding mama's chipped tooth...Mary told me that last Monday (I think it was Monday) she and Rich went to visit papa and mama...when they went to see mama, they could not find any personnel in the unit. They had to search and search and finally they found someone in another part of the unit that didn't know where anyone was. There was someone visiting another patient that showed Mary how to jimmy mama's lock so she could get into her room as her door was locked (she was in bed). From the little I have seen of the memory care unit (and from some of the things I have heard) I am certainly not as impressed as I am with the assisted living facility.
Mary said that she and Rich got mama over to see papa tjat day and they had a nice visit together.
Congratulations to the high school
graduates, Luke and Joe and a very
big congratulations to Dan for getting his Master's!
Yikes Tish! I can't believe your neighbors have a donkey and llamas.
I'd be putting up some bushes too.
There is really nothing new from down south. We have had some really nice weather (of course not much rain, which is a bummer) and it is already getting in the high 80's, low 90's.
Hope everyone has a great week. Kate, are you finished with babysitting? Now, on to the next chapter in your life...good luck with the job search.
Love to all,
Fran
