What a Day!

The furnace at my parents house was repaired yesterday and they were chomping at the bit to go home. So, I got up early and went to McDonalds to get them some breakfast and stopped at the donut shop to get them and their neighbor their favorite donuts. I came home and got them dressed, packed and ready to go. The whole time daddy kept asking where I was; he didn't recognize me at all. I loaded them in the car and daddy started complaining about my driving before I was out of the driveway. After a brief stop at the pharmacy to get daddy some medicine, off we go. Every 2 minutes mother would say "I have never seen so much fog". I said "It's snow Mother"..same conversation for 100 miles. Daddy in the back seat asking where I was and complaining about my speed (45 mph) and asking if I knew the way to his house. We get to the house and he still isn't very happy and fussed and fussed. I ran to the pharmacy to get mother a prescription and then to the grocery to get them some groceries they can fix and off I go. Next stop is the nursing home to visit my aunt. She still had up her Christmas tree, so I load it and a bunch of other junk that she had into my car. We had a phone line put in for her, and the nursing home bought her a phone....a cordless phone that is way to complicated for her to work and they had hung it over her bed and it kept falling on her. I moved one of her tables over by her bed and put the phone on the table and wrote out the directions for using the phone. She couldn't see the numbers on the phone so I went to my car and found some old reading glasses. We practiced making a few calls, but we are going to have to get her a wired phone and new glasses for her. So, she was happier when I left than when I got there (she always cries on me). So, I leave the nursing home and head back over the mountain and home......what a day.
