Hello From Rockville

Today was a good but busy day.

This morning we had our monthly board meeting.

Shirley called at 11 to let me know that they, Shirley and Joyce & Jim were on their way to St. Cloud, about 1 1/2 hour drive. I called Harlan to let him know I was taking him out for dinner, when I called him he was sleeping and was hard to understand, but when I got off of the elevator there he was ready to go. We had about a half hour wait before we had to leave and I didn't want to get to Anton's (yes, we went to our favorite place to eat) too early as to sit and wait is hard for him. We had such a good time with them, it had been two years since we had seen Joyce and Jim and we had a lot to catch up on. As to Shirley she just doesn't change, of course we do see her more often then every two years. Joyce and Jim were looking good although they both walk with canes. Their newest adventure, a lake home where they will spend their summers and their winters will be in Florida. The cold winters are hard for Joyce, she freezes the whole time they are here at Christmas time.

I talked to Nurse Gene, Harlan likes to sleep during the day and is awake at night, this arrangement makes it hard for Harlan to get proper meals. When I'm there we do try to get a treat, pie, pizza or maybe ice cream. I don't need the extra calories so many times I have the treat in place of my dinner.

I want to ask each one of you that reads my blog to send me a note indicating that you do at fplatzer@mywdo.com I'd love to hear from you and look foward to your responces, so until tomorrow and as Red Skelton alway said "Good Night God Bless".........Fran
