I slept in late this morning....and then as I was waiting for the toast to pop, I got a call from Janet (from another planet! my cuz) as I had called her yesterday and left a message and asked her to call me back. Sooooo, I now have a ride back and forth from the airport arranged. Anyway, that is why I am writing this so late, and as soon as I started, the sun came out! I'm sure it is the SON!
I stayed in bed late this a.m. as I think this low pressure system that is coming in and supposed to be bringing us rain today, is also giving me a sinus headache. The coffee and allergy pill haven't done a thing for it. Actually it started yesterday afternoon....after I got home from the greatest lunch.
Not only was the food terrific, but the company was even better. I had lunch with my cousin Louie and his wife Nancy Grams. Louis is the only child of my dad's sister Lonie. He is the cousin I've asked you to pray for several times in past blogs. He has a Caringbridge site (https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/louisg/) that I read everyday. His autonomic system is slowing deteriorating, and causing lots of problems, like breathing, swallowing and things like that....that we take for granted. He also has had both hips and both knees replaced and lots of back problems and surgeries. When I start feeling sorry for myself, I just read one of his entries on the site and thank God for all my blessings. He also has a great support system, a good sense of humor,a strong faith and a close relationship with God. His writing is always an inspiration for me.
We talked about our families, our lives that have come together at different times in the last 66 years, pictures of our folks when they were young that I brought to show them. I explained the history of my last 16 years of life with cancer....he didn't need to tell me his medical history, as I read about it every day....but I've caught them up on mine. I think I ended up doing most of the talking. Surprise, Surprise!!! But Louie is a good talker too, so next time I've told him, he gets to do most the talking. It was just so nice to talk face to face and see the smile on his face. We did discuss how we think we look, and that everyone tells us how good we look (they lie to us to make us feel better)....but as I was walking back to my car, the thought came to me that we look pretty good for the shape we're in!!!
We spent almost 4 hours at the restaurant but it seemed like minutes. But after getting home and eating dinner....that sinus headache started creeping in, and I couldn't make myself go to the Women's Club meeting....actually I took a nap instead. Then after napping didn't go to bed till midnight, and then slept in this morning.
Okay enough....must get dressed!! Love and prayers, m
