Busy Week- New York, Dad, Sping Sighting, Moose Sighting

What a Week! I'll start out with an update on my Dad. I was in New York until Tuesday and didn't get to see his temporary "digs" at the Rehab center until Wednesday. Spent the afternoon with him. Here is a pic of him - He looks so good compared to a week ago and a week before that!

It's hard to believe this all has been going on for almost a month - Hopefully he'll be able to go home soon where he belongs. He's going beyond what therapy expects of him and they are already talking about moving up his release date. It was so funny - I went to therapy with him the other day and they were trying to show him how to walk with a cane - of course he lets them go on and on not telling them he's been doing laps in his room continuously! He wants out of there NOW! One thing I will tell you - if you ever have someone in this type of environment - please just pay attention - there were several things that happened and thank goodness my Dad has his wits about him and knows what meds he's supposed to take and knows his own body otherwise I may not have been able to take that picture due to incompetence. Just amazing on some of the little things that happened - yet this place is supposed to be "one of the better" ones. My old bosses mother was in this facility and they "od'd" her at one point - but it was suppose to be better since they have a liaison now that oversees things! We shall see!

When I got home from New York - I walk in the house and I guess Miles was saying "Hi Mom- I'll be right with you after I finish my dinner" Geez - of course he got a big hug and a squeeze and then put back in front of his dinner. Riley gave me the cold "paw" for about an hour - wouldn't let me kiss or hug or hold him - however he wouldn't let me out of his sight - then finally he allowed rubs and hugs! Cats are too funny!

Today I went to my guild meeting in Flemington, New Jersey - as I was leaving i looked over in my garden (if you can call it that) and I do believe Spring is coming - some daffodil's were peaking out -just had to take a pic of proof.

Also there was also a rare sighting of Sharon B today!

Just kidding Sharon! Everyone seemed to enjoy seeing her picture a while back so I told her I had to take another one for the blog! Sharon brought some wonderful rugs everyone loved for show and tell at the meeting - and darn it - forgot to get a picture! So after the meeting we went to lunch (thanks for lunch Sharon!), and then went to a couple antique stores! So it was a good day out and the bonus was the sun was shining!

New York was a fun time. We did everything I mentioned in my previous post. The Marvelous Wonderettes was a great fun play - the Sex and the City tour was fun - would have been so much better had it not been raining. And the ABC Daytime show was great as always - tried to take some pics but we were in the balcony and I had someone sitting in front of me that was almost a head and a half taller than his girlfriend and he didn't sit still - so they aren't that clear - Here's a pic of Cameron Mathison (who MC'd the event) Susan Lucci and him both did a dance since they were both on Dancing with the Stars:

Here's a pic of Anthony Geary (Luke of the Luke and Laura fame) singing his heart out - who knew a lot of these actors had such singing talent.

Last Friday before I went to the hospital I stopped at the local "primitive country" store that sells hand-dids and such - I picked up this adorable 'crock bunny" - just found him so grungy cute - just couldn't leave him there. Thought it was cute idea - You can see how he's made -

And here he is in one of my crocks:

I'm hoping they offer some other "crock" animals like maybe a cat - will have to mention it to them - been wondering what to put in this crock!

Hard to believe it's Friday already! Time really flies. After the guild meeting today - came home all inspired to hook - so hopefully will get to pick up a hook sometime this weekend. I am going to look tonite but I think I finally got all my rugs whipped that needed it and just need to re-steam them and label them (yes Kathy then they will be finished!)

Wishing everyone a great weekend with whatever life brings your way - joanne
