Road Warrior....Back at Home Base

 I spent a lot of my working years as a road warrior - up early, traveling long distances to meet with customers.  Yesterday, I was up before dawn headed back to home base.  
One thing I like about being on the road is the unique foods you can sample along the way......


It was a little early in the morning for diesel fried chicken. So, I did not try it :)  It was an easy drive, but I don't miss doing that all the time.

 While I was gone, Catherine set up her table in the house to give some massages.  However, Walter has decided that the massage table makes a great bed.  This is his new "spot".




We enjoyed a great meal, some college football and a new visitor last night.  This little fella came up in the yard to nibble on some weeds.

It  did my heart good to see my mom again. She is doing as well as can be expected and seems to be relatively happy.  The staff has good things to say about interacting with her. Although, they acknowledge she can sometimes "be fiesty". It seems to be working out well.   I am happy I could make the trip but it was good to be back in my own bed last night. :) 
Hope everyone has a happy and safe labor day!

  1. So glad your trip result was positive and made you feel better. I think your mom showing some feisty-ness occasionally is not a bad thing :)

  2. I wouldn't worry about her fiestyness. Isn't that a rite of passage into the golden years? :)

    Diesel fried chicken?? Hmmm, don't think I'll try it.

  3. Glad to hear your Mom is doing well and is 'feisty'. I think 'feisty' is good. Next time, maybe you should even bring her some of the Diesel Fried Chicken to really get her revved up!

  4. SO nice to hear your trip to see your mom put your mind and heart at ease. Good thing you didn't try some of that diesel fried chicken or your stomach wouldn't have been at ease!

  6. I remember that sign. It did not appeal to us either. Glad your mom is doing well.

  7. Glad you got to see that your Mom is getting proper care and medicines. It's good to know she is doing well and see it for yourself, but it's difficult to understand why there really isn't much you can do to change her disease. Just take care of yourself so you can do the best possible for mom!!
