Bonding time with Max

This was a very unique day spending most of the day with Max.  He does not have a lot of free time to spend with us and we were so looking forward to being with him today.  

We started the day by going to a meeting in Eldridge, IA., a support group for people who have the "neck" like me.   My Dr. was the key speaker.   I am most grateful everyday for Botox.   It keeps me somewhat normal and sane.  

We had lunch at Panera's and then picked Max up at his house.  We first went to a model RR display and then to South Park to look for a webcan (sp).  We first went to Kirlins, but he was a little shopper and wanted to go to Coach House.  After much thought he picked a brown doggie, which he named Chocolate.  Jane was working so we wandered down there and picked up some blue crocs for him for spring.  I asked him if he wanted to get Chinese or have pancakes for dinner.   He chose pancakes at home.   We needed to go grocery shopping and had much help from Max.  While he was registering his doggie, I was making pancakes.  I called him for dinner and he took one look at the pancakes and said "is it okay to eat black pancakes?"  Gary and I could not keep a straight face.   Now I have to admit that I am 72 years old and have more than 50 years of cooking, but I have to admit that I am not as good a cook as my daughters!!!! 

He cleaned his plate with two big (black) pancakes and 2 sausages (that he picked up at the grocery), a glass of milk and wanted to know what was for dessert!!!!   He suddenly remembered that he had picked up a little container of mint choc. chip ice cream.  

It was a happy day with Max and later a visit from the girls.  Maggie looked so cute with her pigtails and Jane in her new burmuda shorts.  

Gary kept a low profile, but always willing to drive us around. 

We have a busy week coming up with Eastern Star stuff and Gary has a MRI on Wed.   I will keep you posted. 

Love and Hugs,
