Today was an adventure! My first day out, my first day facing the  "We love to go out to eat for Saturday Lunch" monsters waiting to ambush me - not to mention the fact that I get so tired after walking around for any length of time...
So, because of my bad knees and my bad back and the fact that I tend to get wobbly, we took our "family wheelchair" out with us. We were going to 2 craft shows, the grocery store and heaven knew where else, so I wanted to make sure I didn't have to wait in the car. We ended up adding Stein Mart (New to our area)and Michael's craft store. We - DD, DH and 5 granddaughters piled into my daughter's SUV and we were off!

And I must say my husband is just an awful wheelchair driver... grumpy AND uncoordinated...

Anyway, my family was so cute and supportive. I ate 1/4 pudding cup for breakfast and my granddaughter (14) was amazed at my lack of eating. When I started fading in the afternoon - soooo tired and sore - they were asking me every two minutes if I was okay and what could they do to help, so cute. All I really just needed was a nap!

BUT, I also tried pintos and cheese and all 4 bites were a roaring success! I took my water and pudding and baby spoon with me and I was okay with the family eating other stuff! It was a triumph all around.

So, life IS getting better...Hooray!

If of the many truths you choose but one and follow it blindly it will become a falsehood and you a fanatic.
