Family Date Day

Brenda needed the day off, so it was just the 3 of us. Our morning began with a meeting with Kelly, Jessie's Support Coordinator, and her replacement. Apparently, she needs to lighten her case load since she had a promotion to supervisor. We've had Kelly for several years, so this will be a hard change for Jessie (and me!).

After they left we went to Benny's for breakfast and to say goodbye to several waitresses. That was hard. I hate goodbyes. There were a a lot of tears.

Off to Sam's Club where we picked up several items we needed and a few we just wanted. We bought Memphis a new bed, hoping it would help because he has really bad back legs. He's lost a lot of muscle and his back right leg, especially, doesn't want to work sometimes. He collapses often. I dread the day he won't be able to get up. There is no way I can lift him.

We had an early dinner then we went driving around to see Christmas lights. I treated us to a blizzard at Dairy Queen on the way home. I think the blizzards we saw (and ate) tonight are the only "blizzards" we're going to see this year. Next week's forecast for Christmas is near 60 again. I saw a news video on the Weather Channel that there is no ice on the Great Lakes yet, so there is still one boat line going back and forth to Mackinaw Island each day. An unusual winter for sure! It's more like spring.
