Quiet Monday

It was a wild week end with daughter and four little grandchildren. Rose turned 3 last week so we had cake for her. She sang "happy birthday to me" along with everyone else. Mom was here but she headed for Rob's once the chaos got in full swing. It was over much too soon and I hated to see them leave. I so miss my little ones.

Today was quiet. My first class canceled. My second class canceled. My third class got out an hour early. So much for one of my two best days at work. Mom and I got some apple butter started with apples the neighbor gave me. My house smells so good...apples and cinnamon. Mmmm.

Dad is struggling with nausea. He continues to lose weight. Carmen got a beautiful wig just in the nick of time. Carmen said, "turn me away from the mirror and cut it." So Judy at J C Penney hair salon did just that. Then styled her hair so it looks just lovely.

They are both trying so hard. Fussing over each other. Worrying about each other. They touch a lot these days. I took them over some birthday cake. I'm trying to fatten them up. It's not working too well, but I refuse to give up.

And now I'm sitting here, fire in my fire place, music on the radio, mom and I sipping tea and reading. It's quite lovely in paradise tonight.
