Thursday that seems like a Saturday

Woody took today (and tomorrow) off and all day it has seemed like Saturday to me. He's taking two days of vacation so he is going to have a really long Memorial Day weekend. I think that it will be good for him to have a stretch of time off to rest and relax.

He slept well last night for the first time in a while...probably thanks to the Benadryl. He still has a headache, but we're still hoping that a couple of days of Benadryl will help open up his sinuses and prove that it is nothing more serious.

This morning Woody helped me dig a hole to put a new plant in and he also did a bit of trimming on some of our ground cover. He is wearing his half cast on his injured lower left arm less and less and it scares me that he is going to re-injure it...especially when he is working outside. I will say that he has regained a lot of use with his left hand. He can even tie his shoes now...something that is pretty hard to do one-handed. He still only has limited motion with his left shoulder.

Yesterday Woody issued an invitation to Abigail (5 1/2-year-old granddaughter) to come over this afternoon for a special time with him. She was so excited. They did have a good time...played board games, made a surprise (pumpkin pudding for her family and us--dessert for tonight's supper), played with her lite brite, drew a few pictures (arts and crafts according to her), Woody had me take her portrait with my new camera, and he read her several stories. A packed several hours! About the board games...Abigail told her mother that she liked one of the games and didn't like the other...now she won one and lost the other. Can you guess which one she probably didn't like?!
