Today when I went over, we visited for a bit and talked about the weekend. Jerry showed me her new purse that she bought. She cleaned out the old one so now her new purse isn't so heavy! It was a nice day, not too hot so I suggested that we take Pepper for a walk. I thought maybe a picnic too but she had already eaten lunch. We sat over at the benches by the school and let Pepper run around while we talked. She told Terry she would be more active and that she spent the morning in the yard. She said she would be ready to go on Friday too :) yeah...after a bit we went for a small walk, then back home. We went through some coupons I brought over and put them in an envelope. She showed me a picture of her and Thelma. It was finally nice to put a face to the name. 

When I got to the house today, Jerry said she didn't want to go out. I said it wouldn't take long to get ready and was able to get her to the Senior Center today. It was a little hard for her to get out today, but once there she saw some people she hadn't seen in a while. We had coffee in the dining room. She was tired today but I’m glad that she did get out. I brought some bread crumbs and we went to the place on 1300 E “Where the kids used to go” but there were no ducks. We drove around and finally found some.

I missed the email that she didn't want to go to the Senior Center today. When I went over to the house, she looked really tired, I convinced her to at least go out and have a cup of coffee. We took the coffee over to a small park and just sat in the shade. It helped he a lot to get out and she was glad that she did. I forgot my camera to take pictures. It was a nice and relaxing day and we talked about...everything. She said  something like 'It makes it easier to go out when  you have a nice friend to take you.' She's sweet.:)

We just visited when I came over today. She was upset about a few things so we just talked about what was bothering her. I think it helped.

Jerry had her cast taken off on Wednesday. When I came over today, she didn't want to do anything or go anywhere, it just hurt too bad. I know the feeling :( I mentioned it would get her mind off of it if she went out. We ended up just visiting today. I went and got her a cup of coffee and came back and helped with her laundry. I hope she has a good weekend! 
(I think I fixed the blog to the colors she chose in the beginning. I still need to fix some things, but it's up! :) ) Enjoy reading! 

I called last night to remind her I was coming over today. She talked about how nice it was to see Cork and Dalleen and the rest of the family. She said it was nice on Saturday and it was "What Sheri would have wanted." It sounded like it was nice. Terry planted her flowers for her and "Had a heck of a time getting it in there."  I took her to Walmart to pick up a few things and when we got back home, Meals on Wheels left a note at the door. They didn't leave her meal so I called to have someone bring another one out. She did have some food in the fridge though. Jamie is going to take her to her Dr. appt. tomorrow and hopefully get her cast off. I reminded her I would be there on Friday to take her to the Senior Center. (Next Tuesday I'll come over a little later if I can so she doesn't miss Meals on Wheels.)

This was a sad weekend for Jerry, she lost her daughter on Sunday. She was upset and sad today. We talked for a little bit then went to Walmart and got a pretty flowering plant to plant in Sherri's name. We even got one of the flowers that Sherri made and put it with the plant. It's a Annual so it will come up every year...and it attracts humming birds :) Jerry said "Oh, I love humming birds." She said she sits outside sometimes in her chair, so she will be able to see it and watch it grow. She picked out a spot for the plant in the back of the house. It was too hot to plant today; Jerry said that Cork would plant it when he came in a couple days.

Today was my first day back with Jerry! I met the nurse outside as I was pulling up and she said Jerry was anxious but wanted to go to the Senior Center today. They didn't have a lot of people show up, but it was still good that she went. They usually perform at the end of the month, so we went over a little bit later to watch. Not a lot of people were there so they didn't perform this month. We still got to sing with them. Jerry will perform with them next month. Jerry decided to have lunch and coffee there too. The coffee "Was so good." We saw a few people that we knew from before. We went to Walmart after to pick up a few things and we lost each other! I went to pick something up and came back and she was gone. We found each other again...whew. I mentioned to her that maybe on Tuesday when I come over we could go for a ride in...I wasn't sure what to call Terry's car and asked Jerry, what is it? She laughed and said it's a... "Puddle jumper." It depends on how hot it is, we'll just play it by ear.
