Hello From Rockville
No rain today but not a lot of sun either.

Tomorrow I'm going to help Harold & Marilyn and Ed with a garage sale, plan to leave here at 7:00 AM and stop at the Cold Spring Bakery for goodies then on to the garage sale, it starts at 8:00. Denese and I went there tonight to put some stuff on the sale.

I do not have any cell phone service as Sue is changing from Version to T-Mobile and that won't take place until tomorrow when I get my new phone, my number will stay the same.

Harlan and I went to Culver's for a treat, we each had a hamburger and it was so greasy I'll think twice before I get another one there, no ice cream.

We had a good day, tomorrow will be good too......Fran

Hello From Rockville

Oh! did it rain today! We really don't need it.

I stopped at the mall and picked up coffee and BIG chocolate chip cookies, because of the rain I didn't want to take Harlan out, we had our treat when I got there. Harlan had oxygen on and was laying down when I got there, I'm glad I hadn't planned to take him out. He kept looking out side hoping the rain would stop, it didn't. It rained most of the afternoon and is still raining, radar shows a lot more on the way.

Just as I was ready to leave, Harlan had walked me to the elevator, he noticed some one coming in the front door he recognized. He said ,"Some one is coming in I think I know", He was right Pastor Campbell stopped to see him. I went back with Harlan to his room, Pastor read scripture and prayed and Harlan walked me back to the elevator and I went home.

We didn't go out but we had a good day together and tomorrow should be better, no rain...........Fran

Hello From Rockville
My day started with an 8 AM appointment for a hair cut.
Harlan and I gassed up the van and gave it a bath, it sure needed it and tomorrow it's supposed to rain wouldn't you know.
We were near the Park Diner, Harlan likes going there and it's near the car wash it just made sense to go there.
When I left the VA I needed to make a stop at the mall to check on T-Mobile and just across the street is Walgreen's they do flu shots so now I have a sore arm to prove I'm protected, I hope! Please all of you get your flu shot too.

Hello From Rockville

The morning started with a weekly Bible study with Mary and also laundry day.

This afternoon was spent with Harlan and we went shopping for a belt for him. I thought Walmart may have some bargains as they are closing this store and moving to the North side of St. Cloud just off of Highway 15 but no such luck and the belts were gigantic in size I may have to try Target or Kmart. After shopping we stopped at McD for a hot fudge sundae and a wild berry smoothie then back to the VA for a rest time, Harlan did take a nap and I think took a little one too. After Jeopardy I went home.

Well so much for a quiet day, until tomorrow.......Fran

Hello From Rockville

Harlan and I went to church as we do every Sunday but I was in a quandary what I should do as I had signed up to go on a pontoon ride at three this afternoon but I had to be home before 2:30 to change clothes. I know it's hard on Harlan if I don't keep a routine and change his schedule and it was such a beautiful day I knew I'd enjoy the pontoon ride. To make everything work we left church before the service was over and went directly to Perkins for lunch, they were busy, we ordered, ate and returned to the VA a little after 1, I helped him change out of his suit and had time to relax with him and I got him involved with watching the Twins before I left.

The weather was great and the pontoon ride was so relaxing and fun, this was followed by a snack time at the 400 Club all free provided by the Rockville Lions. They do this every year and it is for Senior Citizens, I'm glad I went.

A funny thing happened at the VA when we were walking out for church. I was a few steps ahead of Harlan and just about to the exit when I heard this loud stomping sound, when I turned around to look it was Harlan stomping as hard as he could while walking he looked at me and said, "You make a noise when you walk and so I thought I could too," that was just too funny I really had to laugh. Note: my dress shoes make a clicking sound when I walk but they didn't sound like the sound he was making.

On that note Good Night.........Fran

Hello From Rockville
Just another uneventful day. Bingo at 3:00 and he did very well he won two games then our treat was at Culver's and back to the VA for a rest time and I came home. His breathing is still giving him problems, but it does seem some better. Tomorrow will be a busy day and I'll write more tomorrow........Fran

Hello From Rockville

More rain this afternoon and evening but a nice warm-up and no rain for the week-end.

I took Harlan to the Park Diner for his treat and he enjoyed a hot fudge sundae, today was a very quiet day, after the treat we just relaxed at the VA, Harlan did his meds and I came home. His breathing is still giving him problems and I'm sure the rain doesn't help.

Maybe tomorrow will be more exciting, we'll see.............Fran
