Mother's Day

I know this is later than my usual posts but I was just not feeling up to much.  Had a fairly busy week that made me not feel so well.  A church friend passed unexpectedly.  He passed out at work and hit his head.  Rushed to the ER and they found a blood clot in his lung and was rushed to surgery.  During the surgery he developed a brain bleed that didn't show up on any scans they did.  He didn't make it.  'K' was heavily involved in preps and setup for a reception after a memorial service.  After 6 hours of being on my feet or in very uncomfortable chairs along with 3 hours on duty at church the next day I was toast.  So please forgive my being a slacker.  I can't say it won't happen again.

Number 2 Son's wife was involved in a vehicle accident that totaled their most reliable car.  She had to go to the ER to get checked out since she is 6+ months pregnant.  Evidently there are a lot of little things that could go wrong being jostled around like that, like the placenta detaching.  We were blessed that she and the baby are both ok thankfully.  I don't know if I mentioned it but the baby is a boy.  They have a name already but they won't tell anyone.  It seems to be a touchy subject which I don't understand.  We were having some fun coming up with a bunch of goofy names and some good ones but they weren't well recieved.  Shrug. In the meantime everyone is calling him jelly bean due to him loooking like one on the sonar thing.

I grilled a couple ribeyes for 'K' for Mother's Day.  She seemed to enjoy her day despite my lack of energy.  I veged out on the couch after that.  A couple hours later we drug ourselves over to see my Mom.  She seems happy and she says she is but then complains about some things but it goes with the territory of not being able to remember small details.  But the visit went as well as it can get.  We lasted about 2 hours and headed home.  And with that I will say...

Happy Trails and Happy belated Mother's Day.
