A word about date nut bread:
Shopping trips to down town New Albany during our childhood always included a trip to Williamson's bakery. Betty taught us the delight of eating from a round loaf of date nut bread freshly sliced before our eyes. With all the hungry mouths in the car, there was usually very little bread left when we arrived home, but we were full and dinner could wait a while. Williamson's has since moved to Clarksville, but Betty knows just where it is. Yesterday she asked Devona to stop for a loaf. Unfortunately there was only one loaf on the shelf so Betty got to bring that loaf home and Devona had to settle on a different kind.
A note of warning: Date nut bread must be eaten with cream cheese!
Betty's port leaked yesterday, probably from contact with the seat belt and the strap from her chemo bag. A nurse visited to change the bandage and assure us it was working properly.
Betty started stitching a Sun Bonnet Sue block and was able to finish it. Now only "umpteen" to go. Every granddaughter needs at least one baby quilt for the future! We plan a "sew in" when things are going better.
Raymond's GP requested Raymond visit for a check up on the incision. Apparently the surgeon had requested the GP check him before our Feb. 15th appointment. Everything was OK.
My daughter in Iowa has 4-5 feet of snow drifts in her back yard. The college canceled classes, but the staff had meetings. Thank heavens the city bus system is reliable. It will be a while before she can get her car uncovered.
Have a good weekend!

It has been heart warming to hear how great Betty has been this week. Prayers are being answered in her treatments and we continue to pray for strength for her improving each day.
ReplyDeleteRaymond sounds like you have been being a good fellow also. I knew you could, I knew you could.
Hope you both have a wonderful weekend and watch the snow.
Peace be with you both and God Bless.
