A Wild Week

Sunday we went to church at St. Joseph, the closet one to our park.  There was an interesting homily on the Eucharist that several so called “devout Catholic politicians” really need to hear or change their church membership.  

We went to Kelly’s for Father’s Day and to celebrate Cassie’s 32nd birthday.  The Cocomelon bus I bought CeCe for Christmas is one of her favorite toys and we had to sing along to all her songs.  She sings her ABCs but those are the only 3 letters she says but has the perfect cadence down pat.  Same with other nursery rhymes.  She is so much fun.  

Ted received Verizon gift cards to replace his Apple 6 phone because he was having trouble getting his to charge and being able to place calls out here.  Mine is a 13 and I was having no trouble.  He is now a happy camper!

I don’t remember Monday but Tuesday I got together with my old Voplex co-workers.  Deo lives “up north” and was coming down for doctor appointments on Wednesday.  She picked me up and we stopped to bring lunch since Barb is close to house bound.  She and Pat live in the same senior building so we met there.  We had a nice long visit discussing our time working at this Tier 2 auto supplier in the 80s.  

I finally got my nails done Wednesday and then went to the grocery because the kids were coming out.  Pat and Sam came to clean the motorhome roof.  It didn’t get done since we had not gone to the valley this winter and it was bugging Ted.  Kelly brought a small sprinkler we attached to the hose and CeCe had a great time running through it.  Her grandpa took her to the playground and she didn’t want to leave there.  

Bill had his shoulder replaced and we were staying in touch with Kara.  He came through fine but they kept him and would not let her stay.  She brought him home midday on Thursday.  We chose to not go in unless she needed us because they both needed rest. I did laundry and cleaned some drawers.  We had dinner and sat outside for awhile.

The phone started “dinging” and Kara told us she was was trying to reach the doctor.  Bill was in pain and running a 101.2 fever.  She eventually took him back to the ER.  She asked us to come in Friday morning and plan to spend the night.  

We stayed at the house because Kara stayed at the hospital while the kids bounced back and forth between home and their dad’s house. Cassie decided she was having friends over at Kelly’s.  In the meantime Kristin had CeCe there because Kelly, Pat, Ally and Bidkar went to Kalamazoo to a wedding that Ally and Bidkar were standing up in on Saturday.  We were called into action to help get the food ready for Cassie’s friends.  Saturday we were invited to a friend’s graduation party.  Kathy and Kara are friends and Morgan and Stuart were born 29 minutes apart in the same hospital and both delivered by their friend Dr. Robin.  They have been best friends for a very long time.  The photo is Kristin, me and Kathy’s mother Cynthia. 

Ted went to the hospital so Kara could make an appearance and then she returned to the hospital afterwards and we finally came back home.  Kristin took this photo while CeCe and I “watched” Frozen!

When I got home I went to bed at 11 and slept until 8!  All this running just wears me out!  

Sunday was our tea at Meadowbrook Hall at Oakland University.  This is the same place we visited last Christmas all decorated mostly outside, but some inside, for the holidays.  We were seated with the most delightful family - husband, wife and two of their 5 daughters.  It was a most enjoyable afternoon.

Ted, Pat, Kelly, Kristin, CeCe and I all went to church Sunday evening then out to eat.  We have breakfast with Carole and Margo tomorrow and lunch with Dave and Karen on Tuesday.  Kristin goes home Wednesday!  Whew!
