Mood: Happy

Happy Memorial Day! Please remember what this day is about and thank a Vet today. I started the day off at 5:15am caring for Chris. Elise is chasing Gila monsters this morning and has soon as she catches one she will get her day started.

Any plans for today? Nothing planned as of yet and that is a good thing. Yesterday was a very good day indeed. We had a great breakfast with Mum at the Egg Connection. After we returned home the door bell rung and it was Jerome and Kesha. It was very good to see them, I haven't seem my nephew since he was 10 years old and he looks great. Kecia his wife is beautiful and very kind.

We spent the whole day with them in and around Tucson. Kecia is caring for Chris until 5:00pm and Rosemary will take over for the rest of the evening. We took Jerome and Kesha to the Tucson Desert Museum and that was a lot of fun but a bit hot when we walked along the outside trails. After that we went to the Desert Diamond Casino and we played slots for a while and we had a few drinks.

After that we returned home and we kicked back for a bit and watched TV and talked. Jerome called his Mom back in Michigan and Elise and I got to talk to here for a bit. We left for Zemems Ethiopian restaurant where we met up with Paula and Marta. I made the introductions while we waited for Elise and Mum to arrive. Elise made the intros to Mum and we opened a bottle of red while we waited for our food to arrive. We ordered a rather large amount of food and it was very,very good. We all had a good time at Zemems. We said our good-byes to Paula and Marty and to Jerome and Kesha. They were headed back up to Phoenix and they will be there until Wednesday. They are planning on going to Sedona area and to visit the Grand Canyon prior to their departure back to Georgia. I must say that seeing Jerome really brought back a lot of memories for me. It was a good day and my brother would be proud to see all that his son has accomplished, because I am.

I will post some photos of yesterday's events in future postings. I had better get back to work with Chris. Have a good day and stay happy, healthy and sound.
