Visit while Julie Takes Vacation

Julie went on her well deserved vacation cruise with Ellen this week. Due to the goings on with Pam at present, I was initial not planning on coming down. But Julie called me a couple weeks prior and said Andrea, my standin, had a family in NY to go to herself. Julie had no other backup. So I arranged for train tickets and came down last Sunday for the week. Pam is on the Gemcytoven chemo this week, and that seems to be pretty mild, so it's actually good timing as well.

I'm enjoying time to share with mom. Today I conjured up some Hungarian Goulash for us, and she gave a few small pointers. Planning on a swim in 20 minutes or so.

Bessie is having quite some diffficulty these days, even to the point where I sometimes need to hand feed her. Julie has me give her some oral medications (hidden in liverwurst) for her joint pain, and that seems to help some.

Patches has been such an incredibly good dog. He has not jumped up on me a single time, with out me asking him to first. I'm so very impressed! He's such a HAPPY-DAWG!
