November..My favorite month

New dishes...Lotus by CB2

I ordered these awhile ago...they make me smile!

Trying to live day by day....

It's been tough since November 22nd, the day that Paul had his first stroke. The only way for me to keep my head above water was to take it minute by minute....then I moved to hour to hour.....I've finally moved to DAY TO DAY.

I just came across this quote......made me feel as if I'm on track.....not pushing too far ahead and losing the moment.

"Between the wish and the thing...life lies waiting".

Shoes for Barbara.....

Fabulous Day today....Red letter Day!

Sarah & Michael, Paul's children are visiting this weekend.  

When I arrived today....Paul was coming out of therapy and was trying to find them.  He went to the front desk....and tried to make it known what he wanted.  I wasn't sure. 

Within a minute or two both of the kids came into the front door...they had run an errand.  

Well, Paul was relieved HE WANTED TO GET BACK TO HIS GAME OF MONOPOLY!!

Holy shit he's playing Monopoly....really playing.  OK sometimes he doesn't get the amount on the dice exactly correct, but he does most of the time and he counts the money....fairly well.  AND he understands the concepts of the game....

I'm over the moon!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Here is my floating Valentine...somewhere in the sky over the Deserted Village on Achill Island on the west coast of Ireland.

ps...SI response update!

I am slowly going through the 63,000 responses that have come into Sports Illustrated wishing Paul well!
Peter called earlier this morning to find out how Paul & I are doing today...hours before the game...as if he didn't have more important things to do!
He mentioned that 63,000 people have sent Paul get-well messages!
I can't wait to see Paul & tell him!!
Messages arrived from Singapore, Costa Rica, Sweden, Italy, Poland, Tokyo, Iraq, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, England, Scotland......

ps I loved the above message that I found on the back of the Carlson family get-well card...
