Decker Roadhouse - Days 1-3 (4/3/2014-4/5/2014)

Thursday.  We all survived the night even though we were visited by Indiana thunderstorms.  In fact, I woke up at 6:00 a.m. to thunder and lightning.  I think Lucille had a good night's sleep, and she was up futzing around in the kitchen when I came downstairs.  We got a bath in this morning, had breakfast, then had a nice visit from Billie and Marcie.  We can see that she is very happy to be around her family again.  We've gotten her mostly unpacked, and I washed a couple loads of clothes.  And I have a pot of ham and beans cooking.  So things are getting back to normal.

It's been rainy all day, intermittent storms but nothing severe.  But she has complained that it is very dark, and without any sunshine, the house is pretty dark.  She wants to make a trip upstairs today to see the new window at the end of the hallway.  We haven't tackled that yet, but it's probably on today's agenda. 

Rachelle stopped by with Clayton and Mallory for a visit.  Lucille is so happy to see her family, and they are all good about stopping by.

Friday.  Joe continues to do some maintenance around the house, replacing light fixtures and bulbs, fixing leaks in the basement, etc.   Joe has been making a daily trip to Lowe's.   Fred and Judy also came by for a while, and had some of our leftover ham and beans with us.  Judy had been down at church getting ready for the big LWML rally tomorrow.

Saturday.  When I came downstairs this morning, Lucille was getting back in bed.  She had been up to the bathroom and had bent over to pick up a hearing aid that had somehow fallen under her bed.  She must have tweaked her back in that process because it started hurting and she decided to get back in bed.  She got back up, and we got her shower in, but she complained of a backache all day.  Judy stopped by on her way home from the church rally, then Mike stopped by for a visit.  After supper, Adam and Jaclyn brought Judy Kay up to see her, so the family continues to rally around.  I went with Joe today on his trip to Lowe's and we picked up a few groceries at Walmart, then stopped for tenderloins at the Cash & Dash.  But Mike told Joe there is a better tenderloin spot just up the street, so he has that on his agenda for Monday.
