Mom Smith is safely tucked away in a lovely little Care Facility! Denny and I went with her (I went in the actual little ambulance) when the guy came to pick her up. We were expecting a bit of a "tiff", but she was quite okay with the whole thing. She wasn't HAPPY, of course . . . but she went, and is now safe and sound for the few days Pop needs to be in Holbrook. She will be visited every day by a family member.
How are you enjoying the Olympics? I found the Opening Ceremony a bit of a snooze, frankly. What was with those guys with the tall black hats and weird hand motions? But wasn't the Queen fun with "James Bond"??? And the "dove bikers" were cool. Rowan Atkinson is always funny too. I was very disappointed to discover today that NBC cut a beautiful tribute to the 7/7 survivors (the terrorist attack in England the day after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics). A friend posted a report about the tribute on Facebook today. Do you know what was put in its place on the broadcast? That inane interview between Ryan Seacrest and Michael Phelps! ??????? And our hearts broke to see Mohammed Ali in such terrible shape. But LOVED the seven young athletes carrying the torches at the end, and finally lighting the cauldron. That was a surprise! Well . . . it sounds like we liked quite a BIT in the Opening Ceremony after all! I think it was the first 1/2 hour or so that did us in. ZZZZZZzzzzzz.
We so much loved having Rory here with us Friday afternoon and evening. Denny checked our past calendar, we discovered that Rory has been with us each Friday afternoon/evening since she was born!
Fridays are OUR time with Rory. We love it! Andrew has Fridays off work, so this gives Andrew and Ali time to do something together. And -OH, POOR US!!!!!!- we get to have Rory!
'Bye, guys! More later . . . ;-]
