Oh, I Love Waffles!by Jim

Mom had a nice relaxing day.  Mom got waffles and scrambled eggs for breakfast, one of her favorites.  She doesn’t say much these days, but Dad said the other morning, when he wheeled her up to the table for her breakfast, she said, “Oh, I love waffles!”  Thank you, Debbie for making them for her 🙂

This afternoon the weather was so nice that Dad and Rebecca took Mom outside to sit in the sun for a while.  They bundled her up so she wouldn’t be cold.  They sat outside for quite a while because she liked it so much.  Dad went in after a while and Rebecca got to spend some special quality time with Mom looking at the beautiful trees and appreciating the lovely world Heavenly Father gave us.

Rebecca also worked on repairing Ben’s quilt that Mom made today and finished everything except some of the hand embroidery, so we snapped a picture of that too.

Mom got a package and a few letters from friends.  The letters were very sweet and Rebecca read them aloud to Mom.  Pam sent a letter and a very cute stuffed sheep.  I believe they named her Maggie, but later when I asked Mom what the sheep’s name was, she said, “Sheepie”, so I guess that’s just her nickname.

After dinner, we went back to the couch to watch some Studio C, which got Mom really smiling.  It was good to hear her laugh and see a big grin on her face.  After we ran out of episodes, Angie showed her some movies she took from her phone.  I think Mom’s favorite was one of a gang of turkeys that wandered into our back yard.  Maybe Angie can share the video with this group so you can see it also.

After helping Mom to bed, Dad, Rebecca, and Angie knelt around her and had a family prayer.  Mom was already asleep, but the girls stayed a few minutes longer to sing her Joseph’s family prayer song and wish her goodnight.  Rebecca leaves early tomorrow morning, and we wish her a safe journey home.
