Friday With Mother

It's good to be well again!I missed going to Fort Worth last week so today was the first time I've seen Mother this YEAR! Louis Dean went with me and we drove the whole way over in the rain. It was WARM rain with the high today of 68 degrees. Nice not to be freezing cold.

We took Mother to the Golden Corral for lunch - always a favorite place to go.

At least for Mother and Louis Dean!

HE likes it because he can eat all he wants and SHE likes it because she can choose exactly what she wants. At a cafeteria she can point but they don't always give her what she was REALLY pointing at and at restaurants it works best if they have colorful menus with pictures of the dishes.

Louis Dean got a bowl of ice cream with hot caramel for dessert. Mother was watching him and said, "I'm going to say 'THANK YOU' and then he will give it to me and he can go get another one!' (And she spoke this pretty clearly, too!) So he came back to the table and she smiled real big and said THANK YOU!!

He said, "You're welcome! Go get some!" I told her the joke didn't work, did it? She said - clear as a bell - "I didn't think it WOULD!" I got a bowl of ice cream for her and after she ate it all - SHE went back and got another one!

She ate every last bite!!

We had a good time!

We took her home and I showed her all my blog posts and pictures and videos from Christmas until now so she is all up to date on what's been happening.

I take her around on Facebook to see the pictures and posts of friends and family and that's where we found a crazy funny video of an 88 year old 'Nana' dancing to Runaround Sue!'
We played it over and over laughing all the way through every single time!
