We were up early this morning, but I skipped my exercises, so I could get ready to accompany Hubbie to an appointment with his surgeon at 9:30. Everything checked out fine, and Hubbie has been released to resume normal activities. He does have some swelling in the surgery area that the doctor wants to check again in about a month, but he feels the swelling will take care of itself in that time, and if it does, the doctor said to just call and cancel the appointment.
When we got back home, I worked on making Valentine greeting cards until lunch time. After lunch, Mother came over and joined me. By 4 p.m., we had completed our goal of 20 cards. The snapshots above show six of those cards. The top photo is of three that I made, and the bottom photo shows samples of Mother's creations. This was a fun project. The cards, of course, are for Caring Hands Hospice, and I'll deliver them to the office tomorrow.
While we were making cards, Hubbie took the van to an auto repair shop. Yesterday, while we were running errands, Hubbie opened the sliding door on the driver's side to load some groceries, and then the door would not completely close and latch. Nothing he tried worked, so this morning he called the repair shop and was told to go there at 2 p.m. He did, but naturally, the tech who has to work on it (it is thought to be a computer problem) is covered up with other jobs and can't get to our van until Feb. 23. Rats. Listening to the noise caused by that not-quite-closed door will drive us crazy by that time.
Mother went home after we finished making cards, and Hubbie and I later had a supper of leftover tomato soup, with muffins that Mother baked today and brought over this afternoon. Yum.
This evening we watched the movie, "In the Valley of Elah," starring Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, and Josh Brolin . This R-rated film tells the story of a spit-and-polish ex-military man who goes on a quest to find the killer of his soldier son, recently returned home from Iraq.
