Lobster Bake and the Weekend

Well we had a great time this weekend. Mom did great. She kept talking about how much fun she was having and how glad she was that she came. It was a welcome relief from the past few months of depression and drama. We had a lobster bake and mom ate her own lobster. My Father in law cracked them all for her, but every time he put a new piece of lobster on her plate, she said oh I can't eat anymore, and then proceeded to eat each piece talking about "how good it was". She hasn't mentioned any thing about not being able to drive for 4 days now. I think that is a record. All of my in-laws were talking about how happy she seemed to be and how content she was working on the puzzle with everyone. My entire extended family took turns working with her on the puzzle, and speaking with her. Everyone helped out and it was a nice break for me too. It was a successful trip all around.

Today we are off to Mass for an appointment, and then grocery shopping. She's already up and ready and has fixed her hair and makeup. She just came in and told me she's ready to go! I guess I should get ready too huh? It's cold today! Frost on the ground.

More later + pictures hopefully
