I talked with my son in Florida this week, a day late for his birthday but due to all the commotion of this week. I forgot to call him. He got our card though and money to do something special. He chose to drive his bike to the state park and investigate all the bike and hiking trails. He intends to send me pictures but I know he can't afford to get them developed after he takes them. LOL, he'll have to learn to do one roll at a time.
He informed me that he loves living in the RV and he cleaned out the kitchen cupboards and found 5 cans of Rainforest Tea. My favorite and I forgot I had put them all in there. He made himself a cup of it last night and loved it so said it wouldn't go to waste. He didn't offer to send any back though. I'll bet that's the first time those cabinets were in order too! He also washed the floor, cleaned the bathroom and spot cleaned the carpet. I think he is going to do just fine there. He sounds like a little home maker to me. He didn't get THAT from his mom.
Yesterday I had to go for lab work. It was sooo cold out and hubby and I were both hurting bad, but it was important I get them done right away so off we went. We arrived at the hospital and were told to get our flu shots after we left there. Luckily for us the pharmacy had flu vaccine and could give us our shots within a half hour. Then we came home to the mess!!
Earlier in the day Hubby had been taking the toilet apart and putting new gaskets, etc. in it and after putting it back together, it was working great when we left. However, we arrived home to find our oldest son home from work early, and cleaning up where the toilet had leaked and gone down through the ceiling in the utility room. Thank God it wasn't their living room. His wife tried to call us on our cell phone but couldn't get us. Neither could our son. He had to come home from work to find the problem. When he came upstairs to call us using the house phone, he heard my cell phone ringing just fine from where I had left it on my kitchen table. LOL, I'm known for that kind of thing since cell phones are not the first thing I think of. This morning I am charging it and went to find my purse. Do you think I could find it? Now the hunt begins. Darn I hate getting older and forgetful. It could have been from the pain, once you have that, the mind doesn't work as well but that's just the way it goes.
Haven't thought of Christmas but won't have a tree. The new one we bought last year my son would like to borrow if we don't use it. LOL, we couldn't fit it in the living room. We have 3 recliners in here now plus the computer. Another recliner we bought and wasn't happy with, now resides in the den where we always put the old chair to make room for the tree. LOL. I will make a decoration of greens and pine from out back and put them in a beautiful copper pot of my mom's and I can put little red bows and small shiny red balls and berries in it and that will do for me.
Oh, yesterday all our deer friends were waiting for us. 7 at once so hubby hurried out to feed them. This is going to be a cold winter so I guess we will still feed all our critters until we get down to living on oatmeal and soups. Then it will be a toss up as to who gets fed the best.
