stitches out

Lalee had her stitches out this morning. We all hope she will soon accompany us to the beach--especially Old Man. She'd be much more entertaining than a treatise on engine amperatude. --Jesse

one bum short

For a self-proclaimed beach bum, there could be no greater torture than keeping your foot elevated while family and friends gather by lifeguard stand 5. --Jesse

recovery

Two smiling faces are making Grandma Lalee's recovery just a little bit faster.

Laurie's lympoma

Grandma's surgery went well, yesterday...or at least, that's what the doctor said. Evelyn and I dropped her off at the hospital at 11 am and picked her up at 2:30 pm. If you look closely at her toes, you'll notice a bluish tinge--apparently, the soap dyed her foot blue.

gardening

Grandma Lalee is stuck downstairs, recovering from her surgery. Two days ago, she introduced Evelyn to the thrill of watering her flower garden. --Jesse

Two and a half days to go...

Just got an e-mail from Ted alerting us to his arrival time on Sunday. It was titled
"Ted's Itinerary back to Reality." After 6 months in Greece in that quiet apartment, he may need ear plugs and tranquilizers. The air conditioner is all set. I will be downstairs, with my foot elevated above my heart waiting for a kiss.
