Michele,
Cindy and I are here in Fla visiting Mom and Dad. Dad was so excited to see Aunt Rita and Aunt Joy!! The first thing he said to them when they walked in was "I can't believe you left on Sunday and just now arrived! For those of you who didn't hear, Aunt Rita and Aunt Joy attempted to leave on Sunday using "Buddy Passes" but were bumped about 3 times.
Kathy's husband, Brian, found them a "real" flight and they arrived on Monday. But they got lost getting from the airport to their hotel. So they didn't make it over here to see Dad until today. Another funny story.... Cindy and I drove over to their hotel this morning so they could follow us back to Mom and Dad's place (I was afraid they'd end up in Miami :) Everything was going well until I went through a light that they didn't make it through. I pulled over to the side of the road to wait...but what I didn't know was they found another car, similiar to mine,and started following it!! OMG...it was so funny!
Finally the car they were following pulled over into a welding shop and Aunt Joy said to Aunt Rita "well, I guess the girls needed something welded on their car"....it was so funny!! They finally found me and we were on our way...we were all laughing so hard we were crying! Anyway..wanted everyone to know they made it here safely and Mom and Dad were very, very happy to see them.
More updates later...
Love,Theresa
This is from Cindy:
One more thing Theresa forgot to mention....while we took dad for a ride on the golf cart...she just about broke is arm....not sure what he was doing with the steering wheel but he reached over when we where sitting still and had his hand in between the steering wheel and Theresa started to move to turn around and his arm was in in still...well remember there is bars across and she forgot she had brakes..omg..it was so funny! She said either I turn to miss the tree or break dads arm...(she didn't mean it like that but it was funny). She just forgot about the brakes! He didn't get hurt but laughed it off...you had to be there...It is a story that she won't live down for awhile!
That is so funny I laughed out loud. You Never know when you are making a memory... that will be a good one. I am glad you guys are having a good visit,

Dear Michelle and all
ReplyDeleteWe had a beautiful visit with Wally and Saint Bernie ( she earned her sainthood caring for Wally). Just kidding !
We spent most of day on Tuesday and Wednesday with Wally and Bernie. On Tuesday we went out to dinner with Bernie while the girls were there with Wally. Wally really missed the girls when they went out in the afternoon while we were there. It was funny because he kept asking when they were coming home. I think he missed their energy and fun.
We went to oncologist with Wally and Bernie at Wally's request. We were glad we went.The oncologist is a very compassionate and kind man. The nurse brought extra chairs in the room for us and seemed to be glad we were there. How about that.I found out that the drug Wally is taking is the only approved drug for liver cancer. Not a curative drug but a drug that stops the progression of the tumor by cutting off the blood supply to the tumor. The oncologist has seen some good results from this drug even in the case of his own father.
Wally had a good report and doesn't have to go back to oncologist for a month, as long as no problems. This report by his doctor seemed to really lift his spirits.
On Thursday we had a short goodby visit with Wally and Bernie and were on our way to the airport. We made it to the airport without mishap. Well we did have one small one.
As an addendum to the welding shop story: Aunt Joy in her very quiet way said to me " Are you sure that's the right car that pulled into the welding shop?" And I replied "Oh sure That's the right car." Oh well can't always be right.
Love to all
Aunt Rita
