Lois had the best time at her CEL meeting last night. Many of the people at the meeting had not seen Lois since her stroke. She quietly held court from her wheelchair at the bar before the meeting with each person coming forward to see her, give a warm greeting or cheek kiss and speak with her about how they were doing. They were all patient waiting for Lois to get her words out and point across. The dinner was good. Lois had fish and I had stuffed pork chop. They even had a toast welcoming Lois back to the meetings. The program was most interesting with several speakers discussing their views of the future of Buffalo. We played our game of “Show and Tell – You First” in the car on the way home. This has always been our way of recapping a meeting or event. We had a very good time! We left Lois’s house at 5:30 PM and did not get her home until 9:30 PM. This is the longest outing we have ever had. She was exhausted but very happy. I predict that she will sleep all day today – but she said it would be worth it!
