April 25th - 29th Blueberry Picking & Terri Leaving!

Tuesday, 25th: I worked for two hours, Ford went to grocery store.
Terri and I picked blueberries (7 lbs) at Towers Farm in about 35 minutes - so plentiful! 
After school, follow up Dr. Sacksteder appointment, new brace. She has taken all her Ketorolac - only prescription she took through it all!
Happy Hour at Cultured Collective, Taco Truck - Vitamina_T. We enjoyed burritos and taco (with a HOT sauce no one could eat!).
Mailed AA's pain pump and Terri's box to Maine from the GCS post office. A small Publix Pie (Publix) for final birthday candles.
Wednesday: I took AA to school, David R. was there to help and Noah Witt. AA has sore armpits, sore hands and a sore leg! She's getting a bit down, including the school year end testing going on, lots of work for our girl. I took Terri to the airport, she's back in Maine. 
There were a few activities that I wanted to do with Terri, but just ran out of time like Painting with a Twist, walk the Ravines, go to the RAM market, the Jacksonville Zoo, JAX Cooking School, swim in Carolyn's pool, several tours in St. Augustine (winery, distillery, chocolate factories), Jumbo Shrimp baseball game, Icemen Hockey game, and Talens.
Ford made a new crock-pot roast beef for dinner.
I finally wrote something about Ian Bailey on our Facebook page (with photos):
We have had an incredible past three weeks, with ups and downs, pain and sorrow, celebrations, fun and many firsts (while my sister was visiting from Maine - more on that later). First, we acknowledge our pain and sorrow at the loss of Ian Bailey, on April 4th, Alyzabeth's sweet closest friend, classmate/OPE squad member. Getting to know the Bailey's (while they held their family together with abounding love through all......) and enjoying Ian's sense of humor, understanding his brilliance, dedication to his friends, kindness along with his apologies. Many adventures were shared with AA and Ian, thru the Bailey's generosity, day trips, social gatherings (many birthday parties) and they frequently remembered to celebrate Chinese New Year with AA. Its not fair when children suffer from diseases that seem random as to who they take, we don't understand; we do know the Lord has taken away his pain. Our sympathy and everlasting tears for the Bailey Family.
Thursday: AA went to school, even though we preferred her to stay home due to "over doing" it the past few days. She attended the after school Clay County First Team Athlete meeting (award show on May 10th). She did homework until 9:00 p.m. on the couch with her leg elevated. We ate Taco Food Truck leftovers and the creamy chicken dish leftovers.
It was Liv's 17th birthday, she was in a play, Children of Eden so very busy this weekend. 
We watched some of the first round NFL Draft picks. 
Friday: AA went to her first after surgery PT evaluation, the new brace with the hinge is still giving her trouble, mainly one side presses on her incision. AND AA picked up her new eye glasses.
New Eyeglasses:
Sweet Frog frozen yogurt after school!
My APTIM work weekly meeting has changed to 10 am on Fridays.
Liv was in the play "Children of Eden", we did not attend (Justin and Kilee did), she played a pregnant woman.
Saturday: Ford did some light grocery shopping, we made sausage balls. Went to the River House with Kathy, an expected storm blew through while enjoying our wine inside (we took sausage balls for appetizer).
