Mom's Day

Time for the cards, bouquets, breakfasts or brunches. Mom's everywhere will be expecting their kids to pay homage to the giver of life, and rightfully so. Mother's day is this Sunday, and you'd better at least give her a call. Sweetser's are having us all over for a mother's day/birthday party for mom. Mom gets a double dip of party, given that her birthday is a few days before mother's day. I hope there's ice cream.

Roy dropped in on Saturday to wash his mustang. It was raining all day, and I told him so, but he was undaunted by it, saying "this isn't rain in Ireland." I said "but you're not IN Ireland, so this IS rain." He just laughed at me and continued on. Once done, we went to Bath to see Elizabeth, Penny and Chris. Penny and Chris are pulling stakes and moving to Denver, CO in 3 weeks. The small group of us who used to go to South Arm camping every year got together at Gimbels for a send-off party. It wasn't sad or teary at all, and I was glad. I wish they weren't going.

I'm going to see my primary care doctor tomorrow. Something wrong with the lumbar back area of my spine. It's been keeping me up at night now for about two weeks. It shouldn't be anything serious, but it's been preventing me from sleeping more than an hour at a time. When it hits, it's like a spasm and I can't find a position to sleep in that alleviates it. More on that later.

Hope this finds you well. See you soon.
