Another week gone and a new one starting. I see light, however, way down there at the end of this week. Planned to go home Wednesday but sister-in-law is going to hospital for test -- will stay here to be support system until we know the outcome of the test -- she may have stents put in. Plan is, regardless, to leave no later than Friday morning!!

Meanwhile, Sweetie came this weekend. What joy! I have missed him SO MUCH! He helped me get the handicapped hanger for the folks car. That will save them a lot of walking. Mom now qualifies as permanently handicapped. Sweetie brought me a new book to read -- I finished everything I brought and have raided my Mom's shelves, even thought we don't usually read the same things. I'm now reading "Bones" by Jonathan Kellerman. I like his books.

Sweetie and I went to see "Benjamin Button." What a good movie -- so different. After dinner we went to eat -- I had grilled catfish and it was absolutely yummy!

Hill Country Friend is coming to visit on Tuesday. We will have lunch, shop a little, talk a lot, and just enjoy.

I can hardly wait to be home! Meanwhile, since things are a little better here I am getting to sew a little. I'm hand-sewing the binding for the dino-log baby quilt. I've also been able to work a little on the Grandmother's Flower Garden. Finished another "flower."

My ESL advisor tells me I have a new student -- I plan to resume classes in February.
I've missed my classes.

I've missed my home.

I've missed my life.

There is no place like home!
