Home Again

We had a wonderful time with family in SD, but we are glad to be home again. We were so grateful for safe and ice free roads all the way. It did rain on and off again today, but the temperatures were as high as 56 and about 40 when we got to Ada.
We spent time with Mom and we were able to help her out with a few things that needed doing. We brought her tax papers to Larry Larson in Chamberlain on Wednesday, when we rode along with Ken and Margie as they had their tax appointment. We went to Mitchell on Friday and got her a floor lamp to set behind her chair so she has some better light for reading and hand work. The table lamp was not working so well and did not give her good light. We also picked up a new remote for her TV which was held together with some rubber bands, ( she also did not want to dump it as you never know when you might use it again!!)
We replenished her supply of word search books again, so she can keep her hands busy every waking moment.
We stayed at Ken and Margie, and had good times as usual, with good food and games. Even played Blokus against my better judgment.
We stopped in to see Jaylon and Gloria and they were holding their own and improving some. They continue to need our prayers for complete healing for their broken bones. Gloria did get a walking cast for her broken ankle, but is not able to put any weight on it for a couple of weeks yet. Jaylon had a fever for a couple of days, but seemed to be doing better today.
We were happy to be able to stop and see Elton and Lauri and family today. It is so nice to be able to catch up on what they are busy doing.

I better wake Everett as he is sleeping in his recliner, and get some rest in our own bed.
