There is nothing better than spending the weekend with friends and family, I got to do both this weekend. Mom went out shopping Friday morning with dad to Sam's Club and Gordons (GFS) to get supplies for the fish fry at church. She said it was good to get out but she was tired by the time they got home. Haley had a soccer game Friday evening (the last regular season game) at Boyle Co. and afterwards Haley and I went to Junction City to the dirt races. While at the races, mom apparently needed to visit UK ER for the night. She had extreme indigestion. Saturday, she stayed home and rested most of the day.
It is wonderful to have wonderful friends to spend an evening with to relax, when you never know what will happen. Haley spent the night in Cartersville with Brenda and Gerald, while I went out to the Davis's on Danville Road for a while. While we were sitting by the bonfire, chatting and roasting marshmallows, Anthony said listen I swear I hear a horse. We got real quite and listed, YEP at 10:15pm at night there got a horse trotting up 52 East towards town with a line of traffic behind him. After checking with the neighbors, all horses close were accounted for. So, where did this horse come from, but better yet where did it go. Living in the a county you know the cops, yet you call one to say hey come out this way and head off the horse. When they get there, he says (and it was family) I didn't see no horse, y'all are crazy. While standing around the car- guess what. You guessed it, here comes the horse back. Anthony and a neighbor were able to catch the horse and put in the barn til morning to find the owner. Ahhh, the live entertainment that can be found while sitting around a bonfire in good old Garrard County.
Sunday, today was beautiful outside. After Church today, I went out to Cartersville to check on my child (who stayed the night with Brenda) and she was doing her favorite pasttime- riding the 4wheeler and playing in the mud. Mom stayed after church for Potluck and board meeting and then still came up to the house to eat out back in the yard- grilled Steak and Taters.
And yes, to all wondering- Mom is slowly loosing her hair. For the past week she has been saying her head was hurting. So here is my non-medical opinion, the headache is related to the hair loss.
While we were eating mom said, well I have a busy day tomorrow. I asked what she had plans on doing and she said cleaning the house. Got to get it done and the sheets on the bed changed before I go back Tuesday.
Tuesday is the day round of Chemo dose.
