Quiet Time

It has been a rather quiet day for Tom. His friend, Frank, came to visit this morning. Frank has cancer that was in remission for eight years but has come back with a vengeance. He is quite active considering he has to wear a mask to protect him from germs. Still plays golf and all....I am in awe when I see older men and women living their lives with zest.

We are staying in for supper tonight. Tom is going to have barbecued pork chops, homemade potato salad and coleslaw. I prefer to eat in because it is healthier for him with his heart problems but Tom loves to eat out. He is so tired today, he didn't give me a fight.

So here we sit, watching Millionaire and Jeopardy while I cook brownies to take to Belvedere Commons (to butter up the women residents).

Fortunately, I've been able to run or walk every day since coming back here. It has been in the high nineties but it should help me when I get back to Maine. If I can run in this weather I can run in anything.

So, tomorrow is moving day for Tom. Two Men and a Truck will move his furniture and I will put everything together for him in his new apartment. He is going to love being with other people again. He was so lonely after Carolyn died.....
