Went over to the folks' house tonite for a bit. Dad was sitting on the couch reading mail. What a warm feeling I got inside. I haven't seen him sitting up since Saturday. Mom told him dinner was ready, and he got up and walked to the table without his walker, and with more "umph" than I've seen in a while. Mom put down a plate of sauerkraut and weenies, and fried potatoes, and Dad dug in like a duck on a junebug! YAY!! He ate a whole plateful, and asked for more. THAT hasn't happened in a long time. God,,thank you for this day!
My mom got a thingy in the mail from some group asking for donations to save the polar bears. It was three pages of how Sarah Palin is deliberately trying to "exterminate" the polar bears, yada yada,,and they included a postage paid envelope to send her donation. My brother wrote on a blank sheet of paper "A polar bear ate my child" and sent it back to them. Im sorry, but I think that's some funny shit. Even Dad chuckled when we were talking about it. He does that kind of thing from time to time, and it just slays me. Im very sorry about the polar bears, and for all the species that are being wiped out because of man's doing,,,but I don't believe that Sarah Palin is purposely out to "EXTERMINATE" bears.
T'was a good day!

haha ... gotta love your brother. I remember, some credit card bills say "do not staple", so Monte would staple our check payment on all 4 corners. :) He's probably responsible for the rise in interest, as they probably had to hire someone just to pluck the staples from the payments!
