I'm not alone anymore

Brenda returned Monday after 11 days away in Seattle.
There was bad weather in Houston, a lay over for her return trip to LR. The flight was delayed several hours in Seattle, so she would miss her connection to LR. She phoned Donna, after unsuccessfully trying to reach my sister. Ted and Donna gracefully agreed to pick her up at the airport, feed her and give her a place to lay her tired head for the night. Ted worked his magic and got Brenda's ticket changed so she could come directly to Memphis and alleviate the need to rent a car to drive from LR.

Since Brenda was not able to come home Sunday as planned I was invited to Brian and DD's home for dinner. Mike, Nancy, Adam and his Family, Alan and 2 of his boys were also there. After the long weekend and busy Sunday it was nice to not have to fix something for dinner.

We had many orders to fill for shipping from the nursery (51 orders, 425-450 plants). I was unable to leave to pick Brenda up so her sister, Vickie, was kind enough to pick her up and bring her home. What a lovely family and friends we have. I did not get home from the nursery until after 10:30 pm. A 14 hour day, UGH and I thought I was retired. Mike and Nancy had to go to Nashville Tuesday, the Botanic Garden Show was this past weekend, so all of the orders had to be pulled and packed Monday. We also had to put the plants we didn't sell back into the greenhouses. All in all a very busy day.

Nancy is having her surgery today in Nashville. She had to be examined by the anesthesiologist on Tuesday prior to the procedure. We wish her good luck and pray for a steady and skilled hand in the surgeon.

We went to Brenda's sister Bev's home yesterday to do 2 weeks of laundry. She insists that we use her w & d and not go to a laundromat. Having so much of our family here means we have many places to do laundry. We were invited and stayed for dinner, then Brenda stayed and played bunco. I went on home and Bev brought Brenda home about 10:45pm.

It seems that WH is not going to officially do a recall campaign for several months so I will have the brakes checked & fixed here before we leave on our summer trip. It appears that WH will reimburse any expenses on the brakes. I am planning to try to find a WH authorized Service Center here today.

Ta ta for now
