It is so funny, Jamie, how much happier you sound when things are moving and shaking! LOL! Unfortunately, I UNDERSTAND that feeling all too well! I LOVE progress of any kind, type or whatever! Love crossing things off a list (that I always have going by the way!)! Yea for you! I went to see Mom and Dad today. Mom had both eyes open and was eating good when I got there. I mentioned to the girl that she didn't eat that well for me Wed---just barely opening her mouth---and the girl said that that's the way Mom was at breakfast this morning. She was opening wide at lunch. Dad had eaten and had the sounds of a UTI when I got there---he looked at me for a few minutes before it 'clicked' who I was. He settled down and wasn't as irritated as when I first got there. He kept asking for a cigarette! Anyway, Mom had had a bath and they gave Dad one right after lunch. He was cold, so I got his jacket. He said a couple of times he'd be glad when he could go home so he could do what he wanted. Bless his heart. All in all not a bad visit. Ok, I'm dodging rain showers and need to put a second coat of primer on my porch. I just stepped out on it and naturally it is still in the tacky stage---as in tacky to the touch AND tacky in the way the paint looks! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie
