Moms house. Sue was in the nursing home and really couldn’t make decisions anyway. Since Chuck is her only heir, we three can now sell. It’s a brick home in a small town about 8-10 miles outside of a bigger town, but the house inside is in bad shape. I think, like the realtor thinks, it would be a total gut job. The property on the other hand is about 1/2 acre which is good for town and it has huge oaks in the front and pecan trees in back. I’m not sure if we will get what she would list it for but if we do, my sister and I would be happy.

I did tell her everyone was missing her. She said the last two years has been one thing after another, but in true Lilian form, she said nothing that God can’t handle. She is so inspiring and uplifting. I always enjoy our ‘visits’.

I hope it does too but kinda sad. It looked nice when mom was alive but she died in 2007 and the house has really gone down. Mrs. Lillian is like a fixture here. She prays for her Cutie friends and loves everybody. She never ends a call until she says in her slow southern drawl, “I love you Toogie”. You can’t help but love her too.

Tomorrow is Dalton’s 27th birthday and he asked me to cook for him one day this week. I told him it would have to be tonight because my week was full. He was off all week because they were having trouble getting supplies in for work. He still got paid for 40 hours this week so at least he had some income this week. Richard had given us cucumbers out of his garden and I used them in a pasta salad I made. Dalton also asked for homemade ice cream so my hubby made 2 freezers, one vanilla and the other chocolate. Everyone left with a full tummy or a bellyache-lol

I hope therapy goes better than I expect. Everyone keeps warning me how much it’s going to hurt. The doctor asked if I needed any pain meds. I told him I didn’t think so because I hadn’t taken any unless it was really bad. When I told him it aches at night so much so that I can’t sleep he told me he was prescribing me more. He told me to take one about an hour before bedtime so I could get a good night sleep and take one when I start for therapy. I counted when I got home. The ER dr had given a script for 15 and I had taken all of them. Then when I went to my doctor the week after he prescribed me 28. I only took 8 of those. I don’t like taking medicine if I can do without I told him but he talked like he thought I was gonna need it. I guess it’s better to have in case you need than need and not have so we got the script filled. I will know Friday if I’m gonna need them I guess. The doctor was happy that I had improved since my last visit but he wants me to have better motion and I do too. Guess what?
He told me he used to quilt!-lol I asked him if he had ever been in military service. He said he had. I then explained about QOV and told him we’d like to make him a quilt. That’s when he told me he had a bunch of quilts at home because he used to quilt. He thanked me and told me while he appreciated it he would rather us make and give to another Veteran. If I wasn’t impressed enough that he pieced the tops then quilted by hand, I was really blown away when he said he made a Double Wedding Ring quilt for his parents 50th wedding anniversary! I haven’t even made one yet! I really enjoyed my visit with him even though I’m having to pay-lol

I hope the shop does well. With you involved I’m sure you will draw people in.
I am not thinking too much about therapy tomorrow because I don’t want to get anxious. I will go and only hope I can stand it because the end will justify the pain, I hope anyway. I can’t imagine any pain being any worse than the night I fell. I don’t remember too much of that night except crying like a baby.
Today Dalton turned 27 and I just saw him when I stopped at a store on the way home from our QOV meeting. He enjoyed last night here with his mom and brother here too. Wish you could have came, too Chris! Wouldn’t that have been something!
Mrs Lillian had been to her daughter Robins I think in Tennessee. She told me she was checking all her voicemails when she got home and returning calls. I told her you and other Cuties had been missing her. She sends love to all and always prays for all of us. She is a sweetheart.
Well I’m going to get lazy and maybe watch a movie if I can find something worth watching.

With Mrs Lillian’s terrible phone and internet service, I don’t get too anxious. She always returns my call if she sees she missed me. I now have her daughter’s number that lives close by so if I can’t reach Mrs Lillian and get concerned, I can check on her through her daughter.

Oh so do I, thank you. Mentally I’m braced for some pain. I asked my daughter that broke hers 8 days before I broke my leg. She said, “mamma I’m not gonna lie to you. There were times I left crying”, so I guess I’ll find out tomorrow morning…
