Sunny Day St Louis


Late lunch at Brio ... the wine was good! And the lamb chops too. And the salad - wow - a two watch, gold star day! Gnawing on the chops, and food tasting like food! Yea, mom's back!
Started at the jewelry store, where we left mom's diamond ring to be enlarged. Off to visit dear friend Mary Ross who is in St John's Nursing Care, recovering from a stroke. As her son told us yesterday, Mary has her smile back, and this she does, she is looking great. She was snoozing when we arrived so we tickled her toe and she came to, delighted to see us. Had a good visit and were glad to see how much improvement she has been making. She'll be 92 April 19th, day before mom turns 88. We'll be celebrating together as usual. Mary's OT came and ran her through some exercises and then we decided it was time for lunch, nearly 3 pm, which brings us to this lovely photo of my crazy eyed mama, wearing two watches. After the tasty lunch we headed over to Kaldi's for coffee and chocolate which tasted like coffee and chocolate. Yea! Things were still good so I took her to the Kirkwood library, got on the internet and showed her my blog, which she marveled at. No matter that she calls it a glog and demands an explanation of the word. Delivered her home to the apartment and said g'night. It was 6 pm and I was done in, as was she. We'll be back at it 9 am tomorrow, when appointments begin.

Almost finished this crazy scarf for mom which I began last weekend - it's made of a flat tape, which is about 1/2" wide (wool/acrylic). It's five stitches across on size 5 needles. Looks like a ruff or an Elizabethan collar, or "an underwater growth," says mom.

Your Mom looks just great and the scarf too! Sounds like a fun day it can't get any better than chocolate and coffee IMHO and yeah wine too! Keep on glogging. I love it!
