Friday May 28

Hi, everyone!
Dad had a much better night after skipping the Ambien. And he seemed to sleep well without it. He's more coherent today, is responsive, and much easier to talk to!
His back hurts, but he's been laying down flat on the bed today more than in the past. I'm not expert, so I'm not sure if they're connected. Tomorrow will be another hot day, so I told him we'd try to get him out on the deck again. He said he'd like that.
I think Aunt Gwen will be here tomorrow to decorate for Memorial Day. I'm not sure if Rex or Larry, or both, are coming down with her. My cousin Bob Wilson is expected to be here, too. He has been wanting to see Aunt Gwen, and they'll be meeting here around noon, we think. So, I'm thinking lemonade & a fresh fruit desert might be refreshing. Anyone have any suggestions?
I've had a craving for biscotti all day. It would be so good with my coffee...so, I stopped at the HyVee...nothing. Called the Fareway store...nothing. What's happening here? Someone dropped the ball, and didn't re-stock the shelves! May have to start shopping in Maryville from now on, for sure!
It was a long day at work. Not sure if my busy schedule is catching up with me, or if the upcoming 3-day weekend was causing me to be fidgety and anxious for 3:30! Regardless, I'd like to work a movie into the weekend, along with spending time with family, church, and relaxing in the sun/shade!
Hope everyone has a SAFE and relaxing holiday! It's been a long time coming (the time between New Years and Memorial is longer every year!).
Let's all thank a soldier for his service in protecting our Constitutional freedoms and way of life. We wouldn't be here in this fantastic country without them and all veterans who have gone before. I'm proud to be an American!
God Bless the U.S.A.!
