I'm glad, Patsy, that the dishes look so cute. You've got to love them + the little chairs are perfect with little kids. I'm not sure when I'll get to use mine again! I touched up some spots on my porch this afternoon and now those spots stand out! I guess I'm going to repaint the entire porch floor tomorrow! Good grief! I hope that it looks smooth tomorrow, but I know it won't! It didn't 4 hours after I touched it up! GRRRR! My vacuum also isn't working! I'm on a roll! Anyway, I went to see Mom and Dad today. They were ok. Dad was just acting so tired. He didn't really eat much of anything for lunch----a few pieces of fried squash + most of his ice cream! He tried drinking the ice cream and got a little testy with me the second time I told him he could use his spoon to eat it. They did come and take him (I pushed Mom) to listen to music at 2:00. A man was there with 2 guitars and a half dozen harmonicas to play live. Mom was more awake today---she ate good at lunch. She told me to quit it right now when I wiped her face! I also went to talk to Chad today about the failed appeal. He wants to have the verdict revisited by the court + wants us to file a thing in circuit court about the case. He said it would cost about $500 to file that (circuit court) and that he wouldn't charge us any attorney fees unless we won. I'm not sure at all that this is what we need to do. I told Chad that Medicaid was now paying for Mom and were suppose to start paying Dad's as of Sun. I told him I didn't want to screw up what we had going---that's what I'm afraid of with the case filed in circuit court. Do I like the outcome as it stands now? NO! Could it be worse? Absolutely!! That's what worries me. IF we file it they could go back and revisit the entire case of both Mom's and Dad's application for Medicaid---COULD not WILL. Do we want to risk the chance that they could alter it as it is on the chance we could save a few hundred dollars each? I really don't think so. I'm going to check into it some more, but I'm really leaning toward letting it die down as is and us just pay our parts and move on. Anyway, I'm off to bed. Jeremy's bringing the girls by early (before 6:30) because Fara has to be in Blytheville by 9:00 and they have someone coming to look at their house (it's up for sale)! Good job Judy on Leisa and Bryan! I'm love happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you all, Jeanie
