Hi GANG!
I had a day that should go down in the history books.
Read on if you don't mind my ramblings!
I got a call at 7:10 A.M. (yes, in the morning) from a life long friend from church. We grew up on the same street!
He was in the hospital last week because he fell. Firemen suggested he get checked out at the local hospital, so they took him there. He got a total check up and was fine. Nothing broken, heart okay, etc, etc. BUT they wanted him to go to rehab since he spent 4 days in the hospital.
He and his sister live together and she's starting to get forgetful. So, he made plans for her to stay at the rehab in a separate room so he wouldn't have to worry about her. (yes, he has enough money to pay for this). Well, there is NO REHAB THERAPY on weekends. So, he decided to check himself out of the place and call for home therapy on Monday.
The reason he called me was he need to get his sister home since she couldn't ride in the ambulance when he was to leave.
Okay, no problem.
Art and I had breakfast and I drive over to the Rehab facility and of course they are trying to talk him into staying until Monday when they could start rehab. (MONEY WAS THEIR MAIN REASON I'm sure) Nope he wasn't having any of that. I called an ambulance and they said since it wasn't an emergency it would be 2-3 hours. OKAY! I made sure his cell phone was going to be hooked up to charge, since it was on 1) got his sister loaded up and off we went to the house. I got her inside and all the luggage and I noticed her cell phone was on 2 bars left of power. Hooked that up and then got a watering can and watered all the hanging plants etc since they were all but dying.
Then I left.
I then drove about 1/2 mile over to my friend Elaines's to drop off the Protein Drinks that I bought at Costco. There is no way that 88 pound Elaine could lift that heavy box from the shelf to the cart to the car to the house. We talked awhile and I left.
I wasn't sure if the Rehab place would feed my friend Paul, so I went to a Subway and bought him a Sub and took it back for him to have. Of course, the place did bring him lunch! Ha Ha. He said thank you a hundred times and kept the sandwich for later.
I left and came home.
It was now 2:10 pm in the afternoon!
If I ever felt a tiny bit like our Karen, it was today! Bless our girl for all she does for others ALL THE TIME!
I called Paul to make sure he got home okay, and he did. Whew!
That's the end of my story. Relax, there WILL NOT be any tests on this essay.
Lee: Nice car show. You really need to come over and see the WOODWARD CRUISE sometime. It's so HUGE that I don't go anymore. Just too many people and it's normally always way too hot in Aug.
Mike: I picked 4 cherry tomatoes and ate all of them today. They were good. I also picked one of the BIG Patio tomatoes to have on a BLT for lunch this week.
DAVE: Glad you made it to see where you'll be driving to for your tests. Just leave early and pack some drinks and snacks in a cooler.
I did get to see the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics. Loved the HORSE trotting on the water and Celene was just AMAZING.
Karen: I missed listen to the church service today. I did see that Rev Lisa must still be on vacation. Hope you had a good day.
Bill.......last but not least. I can't wait to hear what your doctor thinks your HEEL PAIN is all about. Really nice that it goes away as you walk on it. Must be something to do with a NERVE that didn't like the surgery! 
Watched a lot of Olympics this afternoon. The best was the Fencing. Amazing sport.
The Canadian Women's Soccer game was good too. They get to move on to try and win the Gold.
I'm out of here for now.
