Saturday is always one of my favorite days...Larry has no meetings, he spends little time on the phone putting out fires and I usually find time to do some of the things that I want to do that I have been unable to do during the week. Today was one of those days and Kenny had a really good day too. I told you all before that Courtney and I have been working like Trojans to get our back yard around the terrace looking at least respectable. I really wanted to get some planting done this morning and, thanks be to God, I did. Papa was up early; he breakfasted in bed and then spent a peaceful morning in his chair reading the paper and watching TV. I took my cell phone with me and left Kenny instructions that if he needed me he was to call my cell phone. (Mind you, I was no more than 100 feet away at any time.) I planted my
vinca, periwinkle and alyssum in a wonderful round planter atop a 6X6 wooden post in the center of a round flower bed. Larry went to the beach to Costco and Sam's Club for me. (He is definitely Hyrtha's boy. He is a great shopper...he looks at every single item in the store.) He came home with some extra treasures but boy, was it worth it. I got to spend most of the morning outside in glorious weather. I came in to check on Papa several times and each time he would say,"Go on back outside. I am fine!" Precious man!
Tonight I had a night out. Casey and his family came to "Papa Sit". It was a treat for all three of us. Before I left, he said to me, "Ginny, you can get drunk tonight if you want to." (Well, I did have 3 glasses of wine but I could have walked home if I had to.) When we got home, guess what? At 8:00, he was in bed, waiting for me. We have had almost two weeks of wonderful days and fairly uneventful nights. We thank you all for your prayers for our well-being. Prayer works. We are evidence of that. In fact things have been so good that I may just update the blog every other day because otherwise, it seems like more of the same. If we have interesting days, of course , I will report it. If we have challenges, you can be sure that I will be online asking for your prayers. Have a great Sunday tomorrow.
