Springter? and ?Noro virus?

O.K.  Just a new word from me. I have been mulling over words to describe the seasons we have been experiencing.  Since we have been swinging from Spring to early Summer and now back to maybe Winter, it just sounded like it fit.

As you have probably guessed, we are doing just fine!  So wonderful to be able to casually say that!  We are enjoying every moment we now have that seems normal.  I really need to put some pictures on here for you to see how good Lee looks!  Bad thing is, I haven't made any new pictures and have been very lazy in that regard.  I'm afraid I have become very dependent on my daughter to make all the photos and send them to me, but she has been extremely busy since Christmas.  Maybe we will catch up soon.

I wIsh I could report that Lee is back to "business as usual"; however, that will not be a part of his life again.  He has been very good at adapting to a new lifestyle and seems to be on the go every day.  He does find a lot of projects to do as he gets stronger.  As for me, somedays I write a lot, other days I will sandwich in some reading, practicing the piano between the housework, laundry, cooking, etc.  Life goes on.............

Last week I was fortunate to be able to meet my sister for lunch on Wednesday, on Thursday an unexpected phone call while shopping, found me at lunch with two friends, and on Friday morning I had breakfast with my retired colleagues from CVCC.  We try to meet for breakfast the first Friday of each month.  I was happy to be able to attend this one since I have missed so many.  Friday night we attended our SS class dinner at our church.  On Saturday I visited my daughter in Morganton and we, along with her two daughters had lunch together at a restaurant.  Sunday, following church, Lee and I went out for lunch.  I give you this detailed report because........the following Monday night, I had the dreaded stomach virus.  It may have been the Norovirus.  Anyway, I am supposing I got it from one of the six eating places!  Fortunately, Lee has shown no symptoms and I am hoping he will not get it.  Good thing is, he did not eat with me at the first five places!

Everyone who knows me is familiar with the way I usually shun eating out in restaurants, so this was a most unusual week for me.  I sometimes go for a month or more without eating away from home!  Now I realize why.....I usually get sick!

I have for many years accused Lee of having a "lead-lined" stomach and intestinal tract.  I think this is to his advantage and for that I am grateful.  I am fine now and the "bug" only lasted 24 hours!

This evening we are looking forward to celebrating our grandson, Will's birthday # 12!  He lives in Morganton with his parents, Greg and Cathy.  So, will close and get ready to leave.

More Later................................Brenda
