Monday: Ford went to his Parkinson exercises.
We made an appointment for Ford's PCP, to discuss his back, hip, Parkinson's, and physical therapy. We really like Dr. Dolven, he listens, asks questions and makes quick decisions. We will continue with PT, see Dr. Legacy, and continue with back pain management (until we are at the end of any help, he will refer us to one for the next steps if Dr. Gill doesn't make any more progress). We ate my bean soup three days in a row, pretty good. AA has mid-terms for three days, then off school for Christmas vacation. We stopped in at the RH - just wanted to catch our breath, we feel so relaxed when sitting by the river.
Tuesday: Ford went to PT at 8 a.m., then at 10 a.m. had his hair cut.
AA picked up her High School class ring.
Noah brought her home as Ford had a hair appointment with Steve, we gave him his Christmas "extra tip".
River House happy hour, nice, staying inside as very cold, especially with the wind off the river; gave the three ladies, Kelly, Shannon and Michelle their holiday "bonus tip". Also gave Kathy and Hugh/Maureen my pumpkin bread mini-loaves. Maureen is becoming a bit more aggressive with her dementia, we worry about Hugh taking care of her, even though they have a place picked out near Erin (Tampa area), Hugh says they will not move until they are "in crisis". We won't be at the RH on the 23rd, will be with the Morge's, then the 26th will be at the St. Augustine canal-front Airbnb.
Wednesday: Ford and I tried to cancel LB's hard wired phone line but unsuccessful, will try again (need more information than I had).
Found more coins at LB's home:
Last day of school, no more mid-terms!! AA went to her AICE party then to Dr. Snyder for her knee "check-up". All good with her knee except the scar tissue. No more seeing Dr. Snyder! (he was a bit of an annoying doctor, "bull in a china shop" sort of big guy)
Thursday: Cleaned house, wrapped gifts. Ford went to his Parkinson exercises. AA had a golf lesson with Stephanie at San Jose.
I visited with Christa, Finneas and Colton; Cathy was there helping while Christa worked. It was not good for me to see them; with no one speaking to Cathy and Werner (they play victim and have said very ugly things to their children and to their Aunt Linda) it was a mistake to go. My good intentions just to let them know the twin boys are thought of turned into a mess. They are now "dead" to us, can't be helped.
Dinner was homemade chicken lettuce wraps, they were tasty but not same flavor as P.F. Chang's.
Friday: Lazy morning! Wrapped more gifts. Ford and I made Rice Krispie treats (with Ford's special chocolate-peanut topping).
We made a trip to the lawyer's as Larry's petition for probate was ready to sign.
Saturday: We drove to Nicole's to drop off gifts, then went to Leaa's. We gave them a copy of our will and their Christmas gifts. We met with Mia, Mike, Michael and Madison with Madison's roommate's family (Mauli, they live in Middleburg, she has twin brothers, one in AF boot camp) at the Osprey Tacos/Old Coast Ales (AA had the root beer and said it was way TOO sweet). Visited with them after at Mellow Mushroom listening to Jesse. We had pizza then headed home at 7:30 p.m. - took extra 30 minutes to get through the St. Augustine holiday traffic.
Sunday: I baked a Cherry Berry Pie (with fresh raspberries, could not find frozen), a breakfast casserole (cooked onions, mushrooms and peppers in addition to a layer of mozzarella cheese I added as an extra) and do-ahead mashed potatoes.
And, I baked some of AA's gingerbread cookie dough from last Christmas (yes, one year old dough) - and they were fine!
Christmas Eve church service with Carolyn (Ford stayed home, feeling off again today).
Monday, tomorrow, is Christmas! Packing Tuesday - checking at the St. Augustine Airbnb. Progressive dinner on Wednesday!
