A ...continuation... my Noisemaker

My Noisemaker is doing very well.  I talked with Nurse Cal this morning, Noisemaker had a full breakfast, got cleaned up, and was looking for walk about this afternoon.  The specialist will be seeing him this afternoon and perhaps Noisemaker will be back home tomorrow.  If not tomorrow, Friday for sure.

I had a wild afternoon/evening yesterday.  A herd of cows came to visit - my word, there were probably 20 of the heathens.  I got my stick - chased, yelled, and finally made them get the h*ll out of here.  

I got back into the house and a major rain/thunderstorm happened - knocked the power out.  I sat in my chair and thought to myself - okay what next.  I called to the power company only to find the power will not be stored until 11:30 p.m.

Good grief, I have my stepson coming to stay for overnight.  Greg had been taking care of his Dad, my Noisemaker.  I had told him earlier in the day, I will make a nice supper.  Not to be - no power.  When Greg arrived I served crackers, cheese, pickles, sausage slices, and cookies for dessert.  

We had a nice long, family time, talk.  Greg went to bed and I awaited for power to return.  At 3:30 a.m. it returned.  Thank god.  We do have a generator but I am not strong enough to pull the cord to start it up.  I was so thankful to have company during the power outage.  It is one thing to have a power outage - quite another - to sit alone in darkness.

Greg left this morning loaded up with all the goodies I had prepared and froze prior to his visit..  Shortly after I received a telephone from my neighbor Gary B.  Gary B. was asking how my Noisemaker is doing...do I need any help...offers assistance for when my Noisemaker comes home.  What a great neighbor.  

Weather Forecast - tonight - major thunderstorm, rain, hail, possibility of power outages.  lol - Gary B...I will be calling.
