Basket of joy...

Mom's cousins came by and brought a HUGE basket of fruit with the most sweet card. It really touched moms heart since she had been feeling a little down. She has had a really busy few days. Which, I think is good for her. Thursday she wasn't feeling so good so we didn't go get her blood checked and rescheduled. Todd and Lisa made their daily visit early in the day then Misti and Lily came over for a little bit, mom just thinks Lily is so precious, we all do. We had a late dinner and then mom went to bed. Friday I heard something in the washer, and assumed it was Scott...I got up and mom said she washed a load of clothes! She is really starting to do so much better. Her friend Debbie came over and I had plans already and dad was tired, so Debbie volunteered to take mom to her appointment.

I call her on my way home and she said her and Debbie went out for Pizza.....oh wait, let me tell you what I did *giggle*. I called her and she said hello and I said Helllllo really loud and high, and she said Regina???? HAHAHA I couldn't resist, I said yesssssssssssssss, hey Ruby how are you? We talked like that for a couple of minutes and then mom asked if I (Regina) was working a lot and I said ohh no, I am staying home taking care of my mother. She said what?? I busted out laughing....oooo she was gonna woop me she said, but then she laughed too. It was so much fun.

She had a full day and it was so nice to see her tired from doing things than being tired from just laying around. She is getting it all back and I am so happy!

Today she got up and helped us some with the yardsale. I had made ham and sausage and biscuits and she put the meat in the middle. THEN I came in and she had made gravy with the drippings .... mmm so good. She got dressed and daddy drove our car to take her to let Lori cut her hair. She got there and Gladys was there, Ed too maybe and Lori cut her hair and they all had lunch. Louise and Elmer came too. I had printed the pictures from when Ellen and Eddie were here and sent Elmer his and the loved them. When she got home she was so happy and just really had a great day. I went to get some chicken for her, she wants to make Chicken and Dumps for church tomorrow.

It is just sooo great to see her getting along so well. I am so happy for her and all of us. I love that feeling of my strong loving mother being here a good while longer.

I can't wait til tomorrow :)

Mom's spirits are up quite a bit more....she has had visits and such, I know she is sick of looking at just me and Todd every day so it really has been a breath of fresh air! God is good....all the time!
