Update by Cindy. UPS and FedEx better watch out; they have some real competition out there … our friends and family!! This past week has been full of “special deliveries” and it all started with my mom. George told my mom on Saturday that he was hungry for her homemade waffles, so first thing Sunday morning, our door bell rang and it was Mom standing there with her waffle iron and a bag full of ingredients coming to make George & I breakfast. 
Then, later on that day, Shirley Lucas called and said that she had just finished making a big pot of soup and she and Ike wanted to bring some over for us. Right around 5 p.m., Shirley and Ike arrived with a basket full of goodies … homemade shrimp and corn chowder (that was awesome!), a spinach & field green salad, hot HEB French bread, and dessert! On Monday night, a good friend of ours from Lindsay’s junior high days, JoAnn Young, brought over dinner for us too. It was a hearty casserole filled with chicken, green beans and water chestnuts, accompanied by hot rolls, cinnamon applesauce, and chocolate chunk ice cream for dessert … all very yummy!! JoAnn also brought three boxes and bags filled with goodies for the upcoming garage sale, and with all of the activity, I forgot to take a picture of her for the blog! So my apologies, JoAnn, but you’ll be back soon … we have a “wine” date, and we’ll take a picture then! On Tuesday, there was no food delivery, but George’s daughter, Terri and her husband, Paul, returned to the house to deliver the new bathroom door and door jam. Paul hung it up and taped and floated the bathroom walls that we tore the wallpaper off of, so this weekend we’ll need to finish what he started and get the walls sanded and painted so the new sink can be installed. And, speaking of the sink, or rather the “lavatory” (I always get corrected!) it was also delivered Wednesday night … by a very sweet couple, Brian & Karen Lewis. Brian works for Klare Plumbing, and was the official gift bearer; George and I can’t thank Marvin Klare enough for his kindness and generosity in purchasing the ADA lavatory, faucet, and all of the other necessary pieces that will help make life a whole lot easier for us! My apologies again, but no picture of their visit either. We were so busy visiting about the bathroom remodel, our look-a-like dogs, and Karen & I were comparing notes on massage therapists, that I forgot to pull out the camera. But I know they will be back very soon as well, perhaps even later this weekend to install the lavatory, so I will be sure to get a picture then! Tonight I was planning to have Dominoes deliver, but my brother and sister-in-law called and invited us down for dinner. David grilled steaks and they were soo good; it reminded me how much I miss having my husband behind the grill, but I’m sure he’ll be cooking before too long! George got some extra therapy tonight as well.
Alex, my nephew, had George tossing his little Nerf football back and forth to him and George was using both hands!! Maybe I can hire the kids to come and play ball with George this summer!! Hopefully, we will get some pictures of George at Katy Rehab Out-Patient Therapy real soon. Everything seems to be going well, and I think George enjoys getting out of the house more. And speaking of getting well, we are soo thrilled that one of George’s “partners in crime”, Charles Lee Luker, is out of ICU in Victoria, TX after battling pneumonia and a staph infection. He sounded great when we spoke to him a few days ago, so we hope he is getting stronger every day … hunting season is only 8 months away! And our thoughts and prayers go out to the Bucic family, as Judy Bucic is in the hospital recovering from bacterial meningitis. Scary stuff, but we know she will be well soon and back to enjoying those grandbabies!!
