What a way to start a day. Jarrod called and asked if he could come over. I had hoped he would be avaailable soon -- and was absolutely thrilled when he initiated the visit. What a guy!! We made our plans for the day -- projects, grocery shopping, cooking, two meals! Of course the outside projects were influenced by using the scooter to get between locations.
We were doing some cooking -- hamburgers and "Steak and Shake" fries (Jarrod had another chance to practice using the professional mandolin) and made plans to try out a cookie recipe (from the Pillsbury cookoff) after the grocery trip. As we were working together in the kitchen, Jarrod said "I really like being here -- I can try out stuff that I haven't done before, and use things that I don't have at home, and besides I like to be with you." I was walking tall after that!
We decided to go swimming next door before doing the shopping. And the temperature while doing the outside projects made the swim a welcomed opportunity to cool off. After getting out, rinsing off the chlorine, putting the wet clothes in the dryer, we journeyed to Publix. Jarrod has requested sushi for dinner, and we realized that his Dad would not have eaten since breakfast. So Jarrod extended the invitation to come for dinner to his Dad, and confirmed what kind of sushi he wanted. He also wanted to include a package of those soy beans that they both like very much. When we got home, Jarrod made me one of his great pizzas. Lee joined us and we had a great dinner together. I really am blessed. Having those two men wanting to spend time with me sure does make my lifestyle change sp much more bearable,
