Labor Day

We went and visited my dad today at the nursing home. He's doing and looking much better! This last stroke has taken it's toll on him. I was very surprised and pleased at how well his memory was, but every so often you could tell his mind was somewhere else. Mike went to Moo Roo's and got him some ice cream, he really enjoyed that. They're working with him on getting in and out of his wheelchair. His balance is very bad. He really wants to get out of the nursing home, which I can understand--but I really don't know how he can live by himself, even if he has nurses to check on him. He's not going to be able to get his own meals and other things that he needs and what happens if he falls when no one is there? But, I've just got to put that into the Lord's hands and leave him there. I can tell Dad how I feel, but the bottom line is that it's out of my hands.

The rest of Labor Day was spent well laboring. Something's wrong with that! LOL! We're just getting everything ready for Thursday and then it's down hill from there.

I hope that everyone had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Love to all!
