Friday and Saturday

After arriving at granddaddy’s place, we helped him with his breakfast.

Glenn fixed the swivel chair to only rock. He used good old rope. That did the trick.

Ben came by around 9:30 and visited with Sherrie and Glenn. Then he chatted with dad. His BP was quite low. Ben said “John, Frances is calling, but the Lord said, it’s not your time yet”. Dad smiled.

Ben is Philipino and all I had to say was “Jolly-bee” and he gave out a big belly laugh. Jolly-bee is a Philippine restaurant. It specializes in fried chicken and spaghetti. Strange combination. We ate there last year when we visited the Philippines and there’s this same restaurant chain even in Dallas. Off of Greenville Ave and University Blvd.

Dad slept most of the morning. Glenn helped him get dressed and back into his chair. Sherrie went over some important procedures and instruction for Glenn.

Sherrie texted Gary and he was able to FaceTime granddaddy and Gary, oh for about a good 20 minutes.

Later Brian and Sarah dropped by, too bad dad was asleep most of the time. Then Beverly and Catherine and Clay showed up with little Charlie.

In the meantime, Glenn is the caregiver for gdaddy the whole weekend and I headed to Houston with Sherrie. We arrived at Sherrie’s house around 9:30. She’s been gone for 4 weeks and she really needed a break.

On Saturday, I went to a movie to see Malania. Good, especially since I didn’t see any if the inauguration stuff last year. Walked around the mall. Hobby Lobby a few miles away then back to Sherrie and Steve’s house so I could get my DMC thread that I needed from Michael’s.

The 3 of us went out for pizza and salad. We stopped at Cato’s and I got a new blouse. Stopped at a British store for Steve then we were good and hungry.

At the casual restaurant called Mod pizza, we played Kings corner and they taught me Trash. That was fun. We had some good belly laughs.

Tired. We’re going to sleep in tomorrow. Steve is going to drive to Tim Hortons to get doughnuts.

Speaking of doughnuts, we stopped by Voodoo Doughnuts. Very creative and artistic doughnuts. Steve bought the Memphis Mafia which was as big as his hand.

Fun day. Tired. The Royal Caribbean ship is arriving later than expected. So instead of us boarding at 11:30, we’re boarding at 3pm. Medical emergency where a passenger with malaria had to be rescued off of the coast of Mexico and with high winds, the ship will not dock til 10:30
