Since the shops at Arrowhead mall didn't open till 10:00, we walked the isles of Walmart for half an hour. Having a little problem with the hip, so it was a slow trip around the mall. The only damage done was a stop at See's Candy for a box of peanut brittle to be consumed on the drive home.
With dinner at a friend's house tonight we decided to skip lunch. Stopping at the church where my parent's ashes were placed we discovered, for the first time in nearly 16 years, a wall with the names of those whose ashes were placed in the garden. And sure enough my mom's and dad's plaques were there.
Although the building is no longer there, we drove past the location where my mom escaped not once but twice in her wheelchair, crossing a four lane highway trying to get home. After the second escape she was sent to the second floor, from where further escapes were impossible.
After picking up a bottle of Washington Pinot Gris for tonight we fixed ourselves a drink and sat out on the patio where the temperature was a pleasant 97°.
I'm very disappointed to find that once opened the bottle of Mr. and Mrs. T Bloody Mary mix must be refrigerated. After partaking tomorrow morning I will reluctantly hand over what's left to a friend. He will not, however, get the remainder of the vodka.
Tomorrow we will clean house and pack, reservations have been made in Las Vegas and Carson City for the drive home and I have two doctor appointment scheduled May. All is well with the world.
