What great weather we are having. My cucumbers and zucchini squash are finally showing the fruits of my (and dads0 labour and we are again enjoying zucchini soup and cake, and made about 6 jars of pickles. Tomatoes are coming nicely as well. As long as the weather holds up we may even get some corn. Tried a few last night, but still small. Tasted great though.
Matt did meet with Dr. Mclean on Wednesday and had a good chat about therapy and Matt can continue until January and have another reassessment. That was a relief. It not only provides him with therapy but also an outlet for meeting new people. We are looking into some college classes for Matt and he will probably take a small business class Wednesday afternoons. Just have to find time to meet with the student advisory for students with disabilities. It will be a three hour class and Cecilia will have to go with him, as he cannot catheterizes himself yet. Still working on it.
Matt started on Accutane last week and we are hoping that it will work. It inhibits healing so some of the areas on his back are not healing so we have to be super careful of infections.
Mom drove up on Saturday to see Auntie Ardis and also be with Shannon on her birthday. Happy belated Shannon!. Mom took Jonmarie and Shaunie with her as I had to work and Cecila came to watch Matt. After I got home we went to Tony Roma's for supper. We love the wings so much we decided to have them when they are not on special. However the cost was $10 for only 8 wings. On Wednesday they are 10 wings for $3. So I think we will stick to Wednesday Wing night! I didn't mind but if was Matthew's turn to pay!
Sunday was Mom's birthday and Jonmarie made a picnic basket and Shaunie, myself, Jonmarie and Grandma had a nice lunch in the shade. 28 degrees with no wind. Matt was abusy watching wrestling so didn't partake in the festivities. Cecilia's birthday was also on Sunday, so I made zucchini cake for the 2 of them on Monday. It was a lazy day and we had good intentions to go for a trip to town but laziness prevailed and we watched a movie. John was at Jasper with some colleagues walking the Skyline. A weekend for the men to test out their camping gear and get away from work.
Tuesday Jonmarie started back at school. She was happy to be in grade 2 but not keen on actually going to school. Very tired afterwards. Still in summer mode of going to sleep late. Grandma is not too happy about going back either! Grumpy pants in the mornings!
This weekend Mom and Matt are planning to go to Calgary.
Must go. Matt wants to go to Tony Roma's again for cheap wings. thank goodness it is my turn to pay!
