Frank came up to see us last week, and dropped in three times. CC even got dressed for one of those visits. See her hair is growing back a little but quite a ways to go to cover up those family ears. We never get tired of hearing Frank's stories. He really had Glad going on the phone with his tale of his one day WalMart greeter job - we all just laughed. He brought over Spencer on the lst visit - who has grown so tall and slender , he was just great to talk with about his sports and school. The next visit on Wednesday he brought in lunch... broccoli salad (guess he did not know about his sisters extreme dislike to that vegetable... wonder if he know she doesn't like cats!) but the cheese enchilada was really appreciated and she loved the small amount she ate. She headed for the back room and laid down with her pain meds for the rest of the afternoon. The third visit Frank brought over the younger half sister Shirley. They all sure look alike, don't you think? Frank said Colleen is always so "up and chipper on all her phone calls" ... that is just the way she is, she never complains. I encourage everyone to keep in touch and visit when you can.
Memorial weekend is here. We had intended to go to Coarsegold but mom was not feeling up to it. Mitch has plans of his own on Sat and Sun so I won't leave her alone unless I can get Olive to be here for Saturday, then I can get a quick trip down there for the peddler faire and to see Gary, Joanna and Janice and the family for a quick overnighter. Hope this works out... if not I can use the extra time to do gardening, housework, run some short errands and just be with mom. ... or a new gig saw puzzle. Mom finished a new collage yesterday - has been working on it for about two weeks... I remember when she popped 'em out in a few hours. But she was pleased to have it done and admired her work lovingly. I ordered the "new" Danielle Steele book (coming out on Jun 2) in large print for her... she has all her books, perhaps I'll read to her. Speaking of Reading... I rented on DVD " the Reader" with Kate Winslett . Mom and I watched together the other night (of course she doozed off and on thru most of it) and everytime she woke up... was in the middle of a nude scene. She finally commented... " I've never seen such a thing on T.V" (she reminded me so much of Granny at that point) I laughed and explained the "story behind the movie" so she had something more to think about... her final comment before she headed off to bed.... " I can't even remember the last time......"
