Elaine had made arrangements to visit her sisters in Dallas, Oregon for lunch today and I told her I’d sit with Dad so she could go. It was four hours that I got to spend with Dad, perhaps for the last time since I’m flying back to Tucson tomorrow.

St Patrick’s Day activities
Mom took me to her church this morning. The pastor commented on it being St Patrick’s Day and asked if there was anyone who didn’t have green on.

It turned out that the closest theater was only going to be showing it through tomorrow, so we decided this morning to go this afternoon.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that when the electricity went off in the house, it fried Mom’s computer. A guy from Geek Squad came over to fix it. I told him that I had tried all the cords and rebooted the modem a couple of times. He looked on the other side of the desk and found a cord, unplugged it, plugged it back in and the computer started. Duh, Denise!

This morning, Mom was eager to go to the store so she came in to get me up. I’m not an early riser, but it’s not because I’m sleeping. I take that time first thing in the morning to read my Bible and pray.
