Sunday Dinner, Doctor, Cute Children
On Sunday I made dinner for Paul and Pat because they were so good to take Suzie in for the week I was in Vancouver. Chicken cacciatore and salad with a light chocolate frozen cheesecake (no calories whatsoever) washed down with a bottle of Zinfandel. I think it was enjoyed by all. I know Suzie enjoyed her share, although she gobbled it up so fast I don't think the food touched her tastebuds on the way to her stomach.
Pat recounted some of the funny antics that Suzie went through and said they had many a good laugh while she was visiting. I know they enjoy having her, but still, it's nice of them to take her. She'll be going to Uncle Paul and Auntie Pat's again when I go to BC in July.
This morning I took Mother to her regular three-month family doctor appointment. All the way there she groused about having to go, and why should she have to go when there is nothing wrong with her, and, how about the good old days when people only went to the doctor if they were sick, and in the old days doctors came to your house. As Dennis would say: Sheeeesh. I told her it was all about prevention and keeping conditions under control these days. So she said, "What conditions do I have to keep under control?" Sheeeesh number 2. How shall I count the ways? Well, there's diabetes, high blood pressure, her pacemaker, her check of her blood thinner, etc, etc, etc,..... On the way home she was happy as a clam and said it was so nice to visit with nice Dr. H. He was so happy to see her. They had such a good talk! Sheeeeesh number three. I love her, but she do go on some.
In the afternoon I subbed at my favorite school, a grade 1/2. The first hour of the afternoon they were in Phys. Ed. and Music so I went to another room and read one of my stories to them. The little darlings made me a bunch of thank you cards. They are so cute. Two of the girls wrote that I "have a good sense of fashion"! How can you beat that? I love subbing.
