Ugh! I just typed a long post, and Blogger couldn't find my Blog to post it! What's up with that!

Anyway--it was just an update. I'll try one more time--

On Friday we went to the Portland area to do some errands: had to return a Kirby to Westbrook, pick up a motorcycle part in Topsham, and go to S&K in South Portland to get some suits for Dwane. Dwane gets a $350 annual clothing allowance, and S&K had a sale: 2 suit coats, 4 pants, 2 shirts, 2 ties for $350. We just needed to pay for the tailoring. Now we have to go back to pick up the pants.

Saturday was pretty much an ordinary day. Dwane had to do a wedding at the Samoset in the afternoon. Eben worked with him. After the wedding, they left to go to the Wiscasset Raceway. Unfortunately, the races were canceled because of light rain. The main reason for this trip, though, was to pick up the popcorn fundraiser paperwork for the Cub Scouts, and they were still able to do that. When they got home, we played "Cadoo". What a fun game! I highly recommend it.

On Sunday we were able to have our family lunch at Mom & Dad's. Mom served it "Buffet Style" so that we could eat in the living room (with Dad) or at the table. It worked out really well, I think. Plus--we didn't exhaust Dad. That evening, Mom took Dad out for a walk in his wheelchair. They went to Aunt Karen's and down to the store. Dad said it was sure good to get some fresh air.

Yesterday Eben had his date with the Bingo Babes at Knox Center. He gets to go one more time before school starts next Wednesday. We met Dwane at McDonald's for lunch, and then did some errands for Mom & Dad. For supper last night Dwane had some lamb shoulder chops (which he loved), I had steak, and we also had farfalle and corn on the cob (which was outstanding!). I have to tell you--we got a steamer a couple of years ago, and I used it all the time--especially in the summer for corn on the cob. It just doesn't get any better. I also use the steamer for hot dogs & rolls, rice, and potatoes. I love it!
