Lois and I went to one of her CEL meetings on Wed night. This is the entrepreneur group that she so loved. We met her friend Pat there. When Pat registered us there were three choices of dinner: pasta, beef and chicken. So she just ordered one of each. When we sat down for dinner it was decided that Pat would have the beef, Lois the chicken and I would have the pasta. When we all looked at it no one liked what they saw. So we all ended up trading and passing plates around the table. Lois ended up with the pasta, as it was little tortellini, which she could easily get with a fork. Pat had the chicken as she was on a diet and the beef was excellent. So it worked out great – and of course we laughed about the whole thing. The meeting was fun and as always everyone loved seeing Lois. We helped her into a tall bar stool before the meeting in the bar and it put her at a better height for people to speak with her – not so much bending down when she is in her wheel chair. The meeting was good – all about sales. The bad part was that it so wiped out Lois that she has slept for two days. The heat has been tough the last few days. We had a new air conditioner installed in the dinning room as Lois spends a great deal of her time at her dinning table for speech therapy and other things. She already had an AC in the bedroom. The new aide schedule seems to be working out and they work out changes among themselves, which is very good for me. They all love Lois and what to be sure that she is covered.
