Our Last Three Days - BUSY!

Thursday was the day we got to see Jamie's family and "catch up" on a few things.  In the morning we actually took a walk around Lititz, got Waldo ready to go to the storage place, and were on our way to Jamie's house by 12:30.  We drove to Jamie's house separately, parking Waldo in front of their house.  Bria and Cali loved getting in Waldo and looking at our photos and pins we bought on our West Trip.  We were so excited to see them and spend time checking out their rooms and playing games.  We are so blessed.

After getting Waldo in his level, well-stoned spot at the storage area we stopped at a local produce stand for fresh fruits and veggies.  The strawberries, blueberries and raspberries are so delicious and we are so grateful to have so many roadside stands for buying garden fresh veggies and fruits in Lancaster County.

That evening we went to Bria and Cali's swim meet in a nearby town.  It is amazing to see how much they have improved in the last 2 months.  Both of them are strong competitors and love being part of the team.  They continually improve their times.

Cali lost her front tooth at the swim meet.  Earlier in the day
it was soooo loose and she was obsessed with it falling out.  So
glad it happened before her swimming events this evening!

They may be small but Bria and Cali are mighty swimmers!!!!

Friday I was able to me my Planeteers (formerly the Curvettes) for breakfast. So good to see all of them again.  We had a nice time chatting and "catching up" on life.  Ken had breakfast with his friend, Gary.  Then we both did some errands and by 2:30 we drove 40 minutes to visit Lanie and her family.  Katelyn and Samantha were playing at their water table and running through the sprinkle when we arrived.  Again, it is so great to reconnect with family.  Lanie and Bob made a great dinner and we had so much fun spending time with their family.  Again, we are so blessed.

Katelyn did well not getting us wet with her squirt gun, but I
think she really wanted to!

Katelyn loves running through the sprinkler!

Sam too!!!!

Saturday, we took a walk and then Ken went to another swim meet.  I decided I needed to stay home and do some clean-up and work on Katelyn's scrapbook pages that should have been done for her birthday in April.  I am almost finished with the twelve 12 x 12 pages, but it is rather time consuming.  I enjoy doing it, but fining the time to do it is the biggest challenge.

We spent the afternoon visiting with my parents at Masonic Homes.  Dad has been in his room except for going to the dining room since he returned there Friday, a week ago.  So, Ken brought him to mom's room on a wheelchair for a change of scenery.  He really wanted to play Pinochle and we thought it would be a good thing for stimulating his mind and memory.  Well, there is no longer any doubt about his mental capacity!  Ken and Dad won 2 our of 3 games and Dad was as sharp as ever!  So thankful that he is doing so well and recovering so rapidly.  Dad told Ken on the way back to his room that it was a GOOD day!

Doesn't Dad look great for 91 and all that he has recently
gone through concerning his health.  He is one tough Marine!!!!

In the evening Fred and Doloris came by and we sat on our balcony having margaritas and visiting.   We were so happy to see them and we also discussed the dates for some possible camping trips this summer. Then we went to La Piazzo for a delicious light dinner, returning to the apartment to play Skip-Bo and Pinochle.  It was a victorious night for the men.
