Cliff arrived on Sunday evening and we had fun catching up with our cousin (oldest son of Eloise Henion Elford, one of my father's five sisters). On Monday, I took Larry to my Rotary club meeting held this week at Dixie Middle School where as a club we learned the intricacies of pickle ball. It was fun! Monday night Larry and I had plans to volunteer at Tuacahn for "Sister Act" but they had changed the schedule and were performing "When You Wish" instead. Larry was disappointed and of course, had no experience with any of the Disney music.
Sadly, we also didn't get much time with Stacy's family since Taisley was diagnosed with "mono" and Stacy is still sick with some kind of lingering gomboo!
On the "up side" we introduced Larry to the card game, Phase 10, which he seemed to thoroughly enjoy.
I was grateful to have my brother around for a few days but I'm not sure he enjoyed me as much as I did him. Sadly, I probably won't see him again until our mother passes - or until her 93rd birthday!
PS: Another cousin made contact this weekend. I got a text message from my cousin Cynthia (Bert and Carol Owen's youngest daughter) who works for SelectHealth and was the one who did Grandma Doris' online enrollment. According to Cynthia, "I made a note (of her birthday) when we enrolled her." I said in return, "she won't know who you are because she has some dementia." Her response, "If her face lights up when she hears someone is thinking about her on her birthday, that's all that counts." I thought her text was a lovely gesture.
