So here's the short of it, 
So another day comes to a close. 

And here's the long.

Today Alan, Mom, and I went to the Golden Agers to help with an early celebration of Mommy Anne's birthday!  We sure did enjoy being with her for that special occasion.

Mom and I hung out for awhile after the lunch - we went over to the church to check on some of the arrangements for the reunion that's going to be happening before we know it, and then I ran to the office for a couple of minutes.  Mom rode with me for that excursion. In the meantime, Alan took Mommy Anne to an orthopedic doctor for a consultation.  It looks like she's going to have to go back for an orthopedic specialist to take a look at her.

Then this evening, my neighborhood helpers came over and helped me water everything and work in the herb garden for awhile.  They also were a big help getting all that straw out of my car from hauling it yesterday.
