April 19th already.....






Here I sit back at home already, I can't believe a week and a day went by and a few of the days are a blur. This afternoon at the hospital we were trying to figure out..."where did we stay last Saturday night..." dad had a good idea that one of us should have kept a journal of the past week. A few of the days kind of blur into each other.

I'm so grateful that the place we did stay at offered us extended/hospital stay rates can't beat $33.00 a night at the Fairfield Inn!!

This was the first Easter our family didn't celebrate together, it was kind of a numb Easter. Although I did enjoy a nice lunch at Red Lobster. Considering the circumstances with mom in the hospital, dad by her side, it didn't feel right to even think about Easter. So, we decided to celebrate when the weather is nice, the ground is dry and a nice breeze is coming off the lake onto the deck where we can all gather. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully, we can do this before May 31st when Emma leaves for two months to study at Purdue University.

Thanks to sis for this pic of ma sitting in one of her favorite places last summer. I think it's on the bridge over either Nett or Lost River. I may be wrong too, all I do know is this river is in a very remote spot on the Bois Forte Rez....way out there.

I always knew she was a tough, strong woman, but one thing I learned about her this past week is she's even tougher than the toughest narcotic!! Wow, she has one..strong..mind!

Tomorrow is Monday already, time sure does fly. One more thing....the cat survived outside for over a week!
