Well, today was Easter. In our house, anyway.
As I'd anticipated, we had to postpone the festivities. Mrs. D and Lily have recovered, but My Tess is still in bed. That cough is stubborn, it's still hanging in there, but so is she. We had another visit from Mrs. D's doctor beau and he says that because of Tess' already compromised immune system, she was hit harder. I'm all too familiar with that phrase. Several hospital coffee machines and I have bonded over the years.
It made Tess smile. That's all I was hoping for. |
I made a little basket for her.
Part joke, part necessity. |
and Lily and I made a few things to try and tempt Tess' appetite, which hasn't been very good lately.
The wheezing makes it too hard for her to breathe, but the doctor said she was safer at home and the humidifier he suggested has been helping.
Mrs. D. (bless her heart๐) can't boil water, but she does make a fine hurricane๐นand her table setting skills are stellar, so she went up to visit Tess while the two of us made brunch.
She'd bought these salt and pepper shakers for Tess in Japan, but had mislaid them until yesterday (they were in her hatbox ๐๐)!!!
Chicken Waldorf salad, deviled eggs, rolls, a little fruit and cherry Danish. We had sweet tea, but I forgot to take a picture of my glass☹️. |
I told Tess that was me on the left and her on the right. "What is that between us?" An egg, I said. "Wishful thinking?" Yeah. |
The Danish came from Harris Teeter.๐คจ |
My deviled eggs, not as good as My Tess' ๐. Brunch was good. Tess ate a little, I ate a lot. Who else is comfort eating ?๐️ I won't judge. We've had a couple of nibbles on the house, but I'm not in a hurry to sell or even to go up and show it. Our housesitter says the dog is fine, the horse is fine, and the house is fine. I talked to my parents yesterday, they're both well ๐,and they want us to visit as soon as we're able. Soon, I hope. Priorities #1 Tess, #2 Family. Summer is coming. ☀️ ๐ |
