Okay, you inquiring minds...Mom reporting in: safe and uneventful flights both coming back "up north" and returning to Florida a week later..crammed a lot of good stuff into the seven days..time with family, a meeting of my book club with interesting discussion of THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (Philippa Gregory)....quick dental and medical appointments for minor issues, a lunch with "girl friends"..etc.....The not-so-much-fun part concerned massive, detailed clean-up of kitchen areas where mice had been partying in my absence...Having been fortunate not to have had to deal with this type of invasion previously, the audacity of these critters was at times overwhelming...only two?...(.At least as far as those trapped.).How could only two create such a mess?.....Anyway, it was all back to normal for the best event of the week: Chip's 49th birthday party...with 13 of us at "Ramona's house" as insisted....Chip was delighted with his birthday dinner,the fudge-topped brownies, and his presents, but mostly with being surrounded by his family singing "Happy Birthday, dear Chip"...He was packed up and anxious to get back to Waconia the next morning..
Father Pearson is doing well, having finished his 4 days of antibiotics...is back on the golf course as of yesterday, today, and two more tee times this week...
