Today I am thankful that we are leaving for vacation for a few days. Olivia and Olya will be out on their own in a few years so this will probably be one of our last vacations with the 4 of us!
Today I am thankful for the happy memory that Dan reminded me of. He is away camping by himself. His brother Larry was supposed to go with him but Larry got sick and couldn't go. In the summer they were supposed to go together but Dan got sick!! So Dan decided to go alone. He is not far from Olya's college campus so yesterday he picked her up and they went train watching and out to a Chinese buffet for dinner!!Dan has a scanner and Olya loves using the scanner for trains. I think Olya likes to go train watching!! When Dan called me this morning, he told me that he doesn't need an alarm clock because there are chickens somewhere close by the campground that wake him up early every morning. When I was a kid, 5 and 10 cent stores like Grants and Woolworths use to sell baby ducks and chickens near Easter. I don't think any of those stores exist today! The baby chicks and ducklings were dyed pink, green, purple, orange, blue, and yellow....
Today I am thankful that Dan and I had dinner with Olivia and Frankie. They went to the Renaissance Faire today. They went with two other couples and had a lot of fun! I got up at 10:30 a m and went to the cemetery with Dan. I took the marijuana drops when I got up, smallest dose of 2.5 ml, and felt so tired. After the cemetery I fell asleep on the couch until 6 p m. Dan thinks I should stop the marijuana drops because all I do is sleep. When I got up, we started talking about getting Chinese food for dinner. Dan called Olivia and Frankie to pick it up on the way home. It was all delicious(always about the food) I HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD SO MUCH! My scale says I have to shut my big mouth from eating too much! We got to hear about all of their fun at the fair! Since I am sort of housebound due to my sciatica pain, I need to live my life vicariously through others!! They took cut...
Today I am thankful for the wonderful day we spent yesterday. We went to a restaurant to celebrate Renee and Adam's birthday with about 25 people! Adam's parents and his brother Dan and his girlfriend came. Renee and Adam and his brothers and wives/girlfriends and parents are all going on a trip to Lebanon in August. Renee is excited because she has never been there! Walid's family, Adam's father, owns a huge hospital in Lebanon. It was nice to see all of them. Renee married into a lovely family! After lunch we all went back to Renee and Adam's house for a large party. I am guessing about 50 people were at the party! There was so much food. There were trays and trays of wraps, sandwiches, fruit, and vegetables. A huge tray of sushi was demolished in an hour! I am not a sushi lover or liker so I didn't help eat any of that tray! There were so many desserts that it was difficult what to choose to...
