Corn Chowder, Coaches, and the effects of exercise

Uncle Jim, while he was snowed in with us, took on the task of coaching Mom through her first hand exercises. he was very helpful and a very encouraging trainer. He read through each exercise and demonstrated them for her. He also helped her do another set this afternoon before he returned to Hot Springs. We all had a great time visiting with our Uncle Jim. Thanks Jim!


I filled in on those exercises once yesterday afternoon. I can attest to their effectiveness. This morning when I awoke I was aware that my right hand, which I used to perform the exercises along with Mom, was sore and a little stiff. Ha!


Fresh home made corn chowder was delivered by Jim and Nancy Foster yesterday and we enjoyed that for lunch today. Thank you for the delicious and comforting soup!


I did some shopping today and bought a little Christmas decor for Mom's room. I delivered it with a rhyme. I said "For you who spends so much time up here I brought you a little Christmas cheer". You have to see it to appreciate it. I'll just say it added a little color and comedy to a certain piece of temporary furniture that we all hope will be unnecessary soon.

It was so good to see and visit with Diane Holt today. Thanks for coming by.

Diane,
You'll have to post a photo (without its occupant, of course)so we all can see the Christmas decor!

Wow! We just got the auto response from a Merry Christmas email we sent, and are shocked. We will notify Elizabeth and Jason (they spent Thanksgiving with us at the farm).
I have not read the whole blog yet, but had to let you know of our concern and prayers.
Hugs to you both!
