This morning started out bright and early with Joseph coming over for his short time of school. He went right back into the routine and enjoyed doing his lessons. Woody walked him back home and came back with Isaac. Isaac also went right back into routine. I had a couple of new lessons for him and he thoroughly enjoyed them. Joy came next to read, then Esther, and then Abigail. After they each had their turns reading it was Elijah's turn to have his "long time" (an hour) with Grammy. Today we worked with the new Montessori equipment that they got for part of the "Pickle present." By the way, Joy found the pickle this year and got to open up the gifts that stay at our house and are to be enjoyed by all the grandchildren. Elijah also worked with the Magformer (magnetic building blocks) that were also part of the pickle present during part of his extra time over here. While one of the children was reading, Woody headed off to run errands and also to have Bible study with Jeff at Life Care. After Elijah left, we had lunch. Woody walked four miles after lunch. I waited for Graham to come over to read with me. He came a bit later because his aunts (Kathy's sisters had stopped at their house for lunch). I read through a recipe while I waited for him to come over. Erin and Alex gifted me with a kitchen gadget...a spiral cutter for veggies. And, they also gave me a cookbook to go with it. We had chosen one recipe to try. So tonight we had Zucchini Pasta Salad. There is no pasta in the salad...the zucchini spirals are the pasta. The salad was really very good...a "keeper recipe." Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 20's when we leave for Vanderbilt...brrrrrrrrr! I guess the cold temperatures have arrived. All of Woody's appointments are in the morning tomorrow...we will see how far into the afternoon they will extend...hopefully not too far. There is a carrot dangling in front of this appointment...the fact that this "may" be his last Keytruda infusion. We will know in three weeks when he has his PET scan. I forgot to mention on Saturday that it has been six-weeks since his emergency appendectomy. (Today would have been my father's 103rd birthday.)
