Plan B

Today I was supposed to take JoAnne out to celebrate her 60th birthday, which really isn't until the 25th, but she has the stomach flu.  We were going to go out to eat then take in a movie.  Bummer.  Ten minutes and I would have been out the door to pick her up.  Now what? 

Plan B.  My wonderful son, Jon, and I had a mini date day, so to speak.  He had already been out to breakfast, so after we went to the post office he had rice pudding while I ate breakfast at Dimitris.  Off to the bank, Target for a return, Tim Horton's for a Diet Pepsi, Office Depot for book ends, Family Christian Stores for clearance items then down to visit Diane and Randie. We really need to visit Di and Randi more, too.  We talk on the phone several times a week, play several games on the iPad, and text, but nothing replaces an actual person to person visit.

Rachel was Jessie's aide today.  At lunch time Jane came and took them out to Ocean Breeze for lunch and ice cream to celebrate Jane's birthday which is tomorrow.  They also went to the paperback book exchange store and the Dollar Store.  Jess had another great day with her friends.

The top picture was taken a couple days ago.  While organizing Jessie's crafts, we rediscovered her Funfusion set.  She has a couple thousand colored itsy bitsy beads that fit on a sculptured peg board.  She's really been going to town on these the past couple of days.  The bottom picture is what she's done tonight.  They now have to be ironed so they will fuse together and you can take them off the peg boards.  There isn't anything wrong with her fine motor skills, that's for sure.
