Double vegetables make you silly

The saga continues....try these new combos on for size: asparagus/summer squash, brussels sprouts/cauliflower.........

I asked Gramma Monday if she had bridge this week.  "No, I just have my doctor appointment tomorrow to get my pacemaker checked. It's at 8:40 and Lynn is going to take me, then we'll have lunch afterwards". My question. HOW FREAKING LONG DOES THAT APPOINTMENT TAKE?  I'm thinking lunch at 9:00! (Turns out it took 15 minutes) After her appointment, she shared the results with me which consisted of several EPIPHANIES- 1.)the doctor wants her to eat three meals a day, including supplementing with protein bars, boost, instant breakfast etc. because of her weight loss since her last visit, 2.)cut her blood pressure pills in half since her pressure was 98/56 3.) drink more milk ("did you know that there was milk with vitamins in it?") and finally, 4.)surgically replace her pacemaker in 2-3 months. WHY????? She's ok with the plan since her "insurance pays for everything"....
Speaking of AH HA moments....I wish Brad would have a few of those.  Yesterday we went to Walmart where he wanted to get some fresh flowers (sweet).  We came home and he was arranging them and cutting stems for the vase (I left to go out with the "girls"). This morning, I noticed that the bouquet was a little droopy already and then on further inspection, he'd forgotten to put water in the vase.  A couple of times this week, he has referred to things that happened in the past (2 weeks or so) as things in the future, such as,"when your brother comes for dinner" (that was Easter).  He has an MRI next week, which I feel confident will show nothing new, but he still is steadily mentally declining.

Not much in the week's news....I went with my co-workers and boss on a surprise outing on Wednesday.  He treated us all to a new pair of sunglasses (mine are Michael Kors) which I'm freaked out that I will lose, then to dinner at Bonefish.  Erin brought baby Stella along where we all had the opportunity to snuggle her!

On Friday, Brad and I went with Carrie and Corbin to Corbin's eye appointment, then to lunch, then stopping at a sporting goods store for THE hat (and Eaton Reds baseball cap) which he was thrilled about.

Sunday, we drove to Denver for Pam's pre- 60th birthday dinner at Mom's house.  Had a nice dinner and visit with Mom, Pam and Kevin, along with birthday cake, and a few laughs, of course!

 Not much happening last week, other than a week of crazy weather- lots of rain, wind and then this morning, the grand finale- Snow!  (just a smidgeon on the grass) with more predicted next week.  Hope the weather is good for next weekend when our Californians come!  Looking forward to their visit
