Great Saturday

Dave got up around 11 am. He had a cup of coffee! His first one in over a month...well before the trip to NY(really Ohio). He liked it. We spent a lot of time out on the front deck today. Dave saw a robin bathing in the bird fountain this morning. Mark Maki stopped by and Dave sat out on the deck with him for quite awhile. Then we went to the Lester's to visit their new granddaughter- Adeline. (I took a video and I'm have problems getting it on the blog. I'll try facebook and retry tomorrow.) We were there about an hour. Dave even took his shoes off and had some lemonade. Home by 4:20 and time for a short nap. Well, Dave tried to nap. Then Phil and Loni came by with a picnic dinner. We ate out on the.....you're right, the deck. It was so nice with the shade of the trees and the gentle breeze. Dave had requested Phil bring him Popeye's mashed potatoes with gravy. He ate about 1/3 of a cup and some cherry tomatoes. Awesome! We all sat around this small table that's on the deck and ate together. It felt normal. Catherine stopped by and sat with us too. Then Kris and Kevin popped over to say hi. Who would have ever thought we'd sit in the front yard? It's great. Thanks again to everyone who helped.
