Tad had to visit Helen yesterday, so I went with. Bought a few odds and ends on the way and visited for several hours, though for much of that Helen was getting ready for company, namely us, and Robin who came down from Hiram. Robin and her grandmother have a very close and special relationship. After seeing Helen, the three of us returned to Tad and Carol's where we talked Carol into going out to dinner. There is an Italian restaurant right across the street from Mary's Syrian place. Tad said it was reputed to be pretty good, though he'd never eaten there. So I took the four of us to 2Tomato in Newcastle. It was pretty good. Had a martini and a glass of wine so my back was feeling OK again for awhile. The antipasto was very nice.
Robin came back with us and stayed the night at her parent's house. So this morning, she got up, 8 1/2 months plus pregnant and made Slavic crepes which I will not try to spell. Very nice, though I had only two. Then for lunch, I had only a bit of watermelon. Odd that I still feel full. Maybe not so odd.
Today I started a few exercises. I did some planks and took two short walks. I was afraid the planks might hurt so I was very careful with those, but they helped. The walking hurt, but is no doubt something I need to be doing. Walking upright is a treat, and I can do that now.
There are many, many birds around here. I've seen the bluebird, blue jay, Baltimore oriole, flicker, red bellied woodpecker, blackbird and cardinal. Also bunny rabbits all over their yard, and this afternoon a very well fed groundhog.
The weather yesterday afternoon and today has been dry with a lot of blue sky. Have not seen this in awhile. Rain again tomorrow, clouds the rest of the week.
Not much going on from my invalid point of view. Hope to be more entertaining soon.
