Lois had a great time at the NewsTrax holiday party today. She came to the office for the first time since the stroke. We enjoyed showing her all the things that were new including the fancy new computer system and all the piles of tapes from a big project we are working on. Then we all walked (wheeled) down to the end of our street to a little restaurant and had lunch. Lois sat at the head of the table and enjoyed the potato skin appetizers and ate a good portion of her meatloaf (the restaurant’s specialty) and home made french fries. She even had a cosmo to drink. She was exhausted but happy when I took her home. Several of the staff had not seen Lois since her stroke and we have a few new staff who had never met her. Lois wore a very stylish black hat with the brim turned up and her black leather coat. The weather was chilly but not cold. We hope that Lois will be able to attend future NewsTrax functions or be able to get out to restaurants or to a movie.
