GOURMET WEEKEND
Another of our gourmet chefs came this weekend when our daughter-in-law came in Friday night. Lou has been hurting a little less each day but still hurting and she appreciated seeing her son and his wife. She made great breakfasts with special muffins each morning. Saturday night their daughter, Ashley and her husband, Ross came in after they got off work. They both worked Saturday. They needed a break from their stress in FW and Dallas. Ashley works at Dallas Children's Hospital during the week on her required internship to complete her Child Life certification program. Then she works at Cook Children's Hospital in FW to hold her job and make a little money to balance the non-paid internship. Ross works 12 hour shifts as a nurse in FW.

This morning I taught SS and Mark, MK and Ross joined me for church. I appreciated Ashley staying to visit with Lou this morning. It really cheers up Lou to have family visit. MK invited Sue and Ike to come out for lunch. Again a gourmet meal. For breakfast she made a great egg casserole but included biscuits and gravy at Ashley's request. Also for Ashley at lunch she made gingerbread cake for dessert with a hard sauce made with butter.

This afternoon Ross and Mark got out my new Stihl chainsaw and cut almost enough oak firewood to last for the winter. I was amazed at how much they did in about one hour. We had some dead red oaks that made good fire wood. They wore ear plugs and Ross wore chain saw chaps to protect himself.

Lou says she will take some more pain pills tonight. I went to Abilene Thursday to get a new bottle of pills. I took the pickup because I had a really small chip in the windshield that the glass company said was no problem but they filled it with epoxy. I had it washed and this morning Mary Barton told her husband that I had a new pickup. It pays to have it washed once a year.

Tomorrow Mark flies to Orlando for a company 3 day meeting. MK will take her mother to Bryan to visit her brother, Robert, who is having prostate problems. They will come back Tuesday. Wednesday she will go with us to Lou's appointment with Dr. Hancock to see what new solutions he will prescribe for Lou. I will report on that Wednesday.
