Well the weather here has been perfect with bright sunshine, blue skies and warm temps; however Nancy has the A/C on which I can take or leave. She is a hot natured person but of course she is in the kitchen cooking and preparing meals and that is what she did yesterday with Bobby's family coming today along with the Ross kiddos. It's Amy and Tyler anniversary so they are headed out to eat while we celebrate Bobby's birthday with lasagna, cobbler and salad per his request.
I did get in a little walking around the yards and tried to stay active as I slowly recuperate from these ailments. The coughing is subsided about 75% except for an occasional outburst. I'm starting a new regiment of the Eliquis which is half the amount I was taking for the last week or so. I'm seriously hoping I can get off it completely in about 6 weeks or so. I'm spending some time outside hand watering the gardens and the tomato's are close to ripening as I write. The Roma's are loaded and now I see a bunch of the celebrity tomato's filling out as well. The leafy greens are still producing and we had some last night with our salmon and rice. Delicious and so good for you. The cold touched the cucumbers slightly as well as the pole beans as many of the leaves are turning brown.
On a sad note a friend from Viet Nam passed away at the VA yesterday. I think that he might have survived had he gone to the ER at Morton Plant like I did and got different care. Anyhow he was younger but maybe waited too long to seek out medical care for the covid. He was on a ventilator which just about assures you of death from what I learned about this illness.
We spoke with Bobby as he was traveling back to the airport and then coming home after a late night flight. We did get to watch the service for Paw Paw as the funeral home taped it live and then shared it on You Tube. It was a fitting service and Bobby gave my eulogy for me along with the sisters final words. It was cold and wet there and the weather wasn't fit to have much of a grave side service.
That was about it for the day as we dined on salmon, ginger rice and leafy greens which were awesome. Today we need to purchase a ceiling fan for the kitchen as our old one broke when the pull chain pulled out. Bobby has indicated he will replace it which shouldn't be a big issue when he comes for supper, LATER
