Actually managing to get to bed before Midnight last night felt strange but very much appreciated when I got up this morning. I managed to get a few things read on my Computer before Kathy came out of the bedroom. As a change of pace we had Toast for breakfast with a bit of Jam.

Back at the Computers it didn’t take long to have our second cup of morning beverage before I headed off to shower. While I was doing that our daughter Karen called inviting us over to see a new puppy they had in their house. Since we were scheduled to go for a visit this afternoon Kathy told her we’d drop by after.

We made Chicken Noodle Soup for lunch with a shared Apple, Nanaimo Bars and Yogurt Cup for dessert. Not wanting to overdo our fluid intake we opted to having Juice Boxes as a refreshment.

We did sit at the Computers for a few extra minutes before we headed out the door. The reason for that is we didn’t want to arrive before the agreed upon time.

The last time we visited with my aunt Anna she was still living at the Devonshire Retirement Home. When Coronavirus closed everything down they would not even allow her daughter Jackie to visit with her outside the Dining Room Window since the window in her own room on the Third Floor faced a Brick Wall. They also started adding additional Covid-19 Care Costs to the monthly bill.

From the Car I could see arms waving in the window.

All her daughters care deeply about their mother and agreed she needed to move. Luckily they had put her name in at the Riverside Care Home shortly after their father had passed. Then in early May they received a call that there was an available room if she was still interested. Jackie made arrangements to pick up her mother with a “To Go Bag” that afternoon. Twenty Minutes later they arrived at her new residence. Her other belongings were picked up at a later date.

There was my Aunt Anna waiting for our arrival.

It wasn’t until I spoke with the Duty Nurse yesterday that I learned we would need to make an appointment through the Office Manager before we could visit even outside and she did not work Weekends. The alternative was for us to visit outside of her window but the question was which one was her’s. My aunt said she would see us pull into the parking area and she would be waving.

It was much easier to find then we had figured and as soon as we got out of the Car I could see Arms waving behind a window and there was no mistaking who it was. We stood on course gravel around shrubs that surrounded the building. We visited outside in the Century High Humidex for Ninety Minutes while my aunt stood inside her room by her window that was slightly ajar. Since she has been confined to her room until yesterday we are certain that this visit was appreciated. When we got back to the Car we appreciated the AC after standing in the Sun for so long.

Our next stop was at our daughter Karen’s house in Tecumseh. There we got to meet miss Nova a St. Bernard-Standard Poodle Mix. She belongs to Jessica our grandson Tyler’s girlfriend. Nova is definitely a Cold Weather Dog and already eats more then Sanford does. Also being only Seven Weeks Old she still needs a lot of naps. We also had a short visit with our granddaughter Ashley who just got out of Quarantine after returning from her teaching job in Spain.

For supper Kathy served up some Pulled Pork from Lou’s Kitchen on Hamburger Buns along with Orange Slices, Cookies and a Yogurt Cup for dessert.

Again our 6 o’clock Local News was preempted by a Golf Tournament so we had to watch it at 11:00. In between we watched a special lead up to tomorrow’s start of the Republican Presidential Nomination.

Sanford got his treat from Kathy today.

Tomorrow should be a busy day. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
