Nothing new

I am going to try and stay positive for as long as possible today.  The weather just isn't helping any.  So much rain and grey skies.  What is going to happen this summer when we really need it?  Will it come or stay away?

I don't have a lot to do today, just a few piddly dishes, but I do need to get them done.  Arlen's dad was taken back to the hospital last night.  He has some kind of infection in his lungs.  He was in there Tuesday and they let him go home Wednesday before all of the test results were back.  I was very surprised at that.  Normally they don't let you go until they have found out what the problem is.  Hopefully this time they will keep him long enough to get it taken care of.  He is not a young man anymore.  He is in his middle to late 80's, so they really do need to get the infection gone.

One of the worst things they do down there at home is this,  when the weather is nice, they never open any windows to let the fresh clean air in.  It is kept wrapped up tighter than a Chirstmas present that you forgot about.  During the winter they re-circulate the air, during the summer they re-circulate the air, but never do they just breathe in fresh air, especialy after a nice cleansing rain.  I don't know if it makes a difference or not, I only know that I feel better after having windows open.

After our meal on Mother's Day, Lily received an ice cream cone for eating so well.  She is always a good eater, it's just an excuse to give her ice cream.  She really enjoyed it, but wasn't too sure what to do about the cone itself!  Thank goodness for bibs.  Now if they could just make a self cleaning ice cream, what a perfect world it would be.  It is so hard to believe that she is going to be 2 in a week or so.  Boy does that time go fast, even more so when you don't see them 24/7.

I hope that everyone takes time to enjoy ice cream today!
