We did the scheduled surgery (that had been rescheduled from the previous day) at 8 am this morning, and I was out of the hospital at noon. I headed directly over to the Whiteside's where we had lunch (beef soup, sandwiches, and applesauce, MMM!) Following lunch I went into the backyard to enjoy the sun for a few minutes when I heard Lucky whimpering and scratching at the outdoor grill. I went over to see what she was fussing over and figured she must have cornered an animal or something. Sure enough, I opened up the grill and staring timidly back at me was a large squirrel. I closed the grill back up and called the Whiteside's out. Mrs. Ellie came out and lifted the lid with a broom handle. The squirrel bounded out so fast that Lucky barely even noticed him fly out! For the rest of the afternoon she kept pacing around and staring at the grill, even after we left it open for her to see the squirrel wasn't there!
The Whiteside's had rainbow and pineapple sherbert ice cream so we enjoyed that out in the summer heat of their backyard and got to try a few things out of the garden-some raspberries, wild strawberries, and cherry tomatoes. All the produce was delic!
As it got a little later, Mrs. Ellie and I ran to the redbox down the street outside of McDonald's to pick up a few movies for the night. We rented Lincoln Lawyer and I Am Number Four. Then we swung back by the house and I drove all four of us (Mr. Richard, Mrs. Ellie, and Mr. Richard's father Don) to their favorite Mexican Restaurant down the street. I got a shredded beef burrito with the green chili sauce which was delicious and very filling.
For dessert we got the sopapillas which are drenched in caramel sauce, whipped cream and maraschino cherries. I texted my mom these pictures from my brand new phone and she didn't even ask who it was!!! I guess she is just too intuitive!!!.....as she says, JEALOUS?? :) miss you mom.
We ran to the store for me to get contact solution and when we got back to the house we watched our two movies. By the time we finished it was nearly 2 AM! SO past my bedtime these days! The Whitesides blew up an air mattress for me and I went ahead and stayed the night :)
