Monday morning blues…but Mamaw says she’ll make it. Boy, has she been sick—and ON BOTH ENDS! She wonders if she ate something at the restaurant for Mother’s Day that didn’t agree with her diet. She’s lost another 4 lbs and she’s so proud! But, again it is rainy and we don’t enjoy our walks. I hate the umbrella she wants to use and I refuse to walk with her. The thing just scares the poo out of me! So we only had one walk today—between rains. But the wind was so strong! It knocked a chair over on the deck! Boy, I howled when I heard that I can tell you! And then Mamaw’s little Cocker Spaniel that lights up at night got knocked over too. Oh my God—not our Angel too? Well, all of the plants are still in the house and Mamaw says they are staying in until the weather invites us back out. I think she’ll leave our “pretties” laying down too—just to protect them.
We did laundry, laundry, laundry yesterday in spite of the fact Mamaw is “recuperating.” She says she’s got to stay on top of stuff so she pushes herself.

Poppy had to go do some of his “volunteer work” today. He goes and helps give free eye exams to children in elementary schools. He says they gotta be able to see before they can learn. So he does this from time to time. I kinda like that idea cause I see him giving back to the community.

We played “refrigerator cleanout” for dinner tonight. Poppy ate the left over pepperoni pizza (that’s okay cause he loves that) and Mamaw had some toast and later a bowl of Special K. I think she eats that sometimes to help her with her diet—they say it works!

We spent a very quiet evening; the three of us. Poppy was glad to be home and Mamaw just wasn’t in the mood to talk. I decided to give them both a break and just do as I was told. And with that—I’ll just say goodnight all.
