Cookies & Smiles

Last weekend Mom had some good days. Even though she was still unable to finish most of her sentences, she was more alert and present than she has been in a while.

On Saturday, Dick and Grace came from South Boardman to visit. They haven't seen Mom since we stopped at their place last July. They stayed for several hours, long enough to visit with Suzy, Paul and the kids after the church yard sale. Mom was all smiles during their stay.

On Sunday Tina drove up from Traverse. She had been scheduled to volunteer at the annual college barbecue, but her supervisor told her to go see Mom instead. So Mom had a nice visit with Tina and received her traditional manicure. Tina stayed long enough for one of Suzy's cookies baked fresh for Sunday night youth group.

Since we're not monitoring the cancer anymore there isn't much to tell you in the way of Mom's health. She seems to be getting weaker, but then she has good days, like last weekend. We're all grateful for every day, good and not so good.

This weekend, Bill and Pattie plan to visit, and Jon and Linda are planning to drive up from Alma on Memorial Day.
