I cannot believe that it is the end of May already! Wow, this month has just flown by. We only have 17 more days and everyone will be here!!!! We can hardly wait! We are so excited!!! Grandpa has been working on the attic room. He still has a lot of work to do, but he has also gotten a lot done too. We just made a big purchase the other night. We bought a small upright freezer. We have wanted to buy one, and now that we will need more freezer space while the kids are here we thought now would be the right time to bite the bullet and do it. We got a 12.1 upright frost free freezer. We bought it on sale so we really got a good deal. I have wanted to get a freezer for years, so this is great. Grandpa went grocery shopping last night and now we have food in our new freezer!
Grandpa got into an accident a few weeks ago. He didn't get hurt, but the car really got crunched. The collision repair shop told Grandpa that he can pick up the car today. It will be nice to get our car back and turn in the rental. Our insurance covered all but $1.00 a day on the rental. Grandpa has enjoyed driving the rental. It is a Toyota Camry. It is a much higher class car than our little Aveo, but I am really grateful not have to worry about a car payment right now. In the accident Grandpa was driving down the main road in Keokuk. Grandpa heard an emergency vehicle and turned to look to see where it was coming from. As he did this the truck in front of him stopped. The truck had no damage. The police officer gave Grandpa a citation and his name and the story of this accident appeared in the Keokuk newspaper. Grandpa also has to appear in court because of the citation. They do things really different here. He is scheduled to go into court the same day I have my appointment with Dr Bozdech in Quincy. Luckily my appointment is in the morning, and he isn't scheduled to go in until the afternoon. We should be able to make it work.
Tonight Grandpa and I are going out to dinner with some good friends. Randy & Kathy Douglas, and Dale & Cheryl Hunt. We are going to the Bistro to eat. I suggested it, so I am really hoping everyone likes it. It may not be my favorite place to eat, but it is one of the better places around here. I am feeling really uncomfortable about this evening because if my wheelchair. I know it may seem silly, and I guess it is, but the logistics of getting me up to the table and not being in the way is a really big concern. Grandpa told me not to worry about it, that it is not a problem. I guess I should take his advise and not worry so that I can enjoy this evening! :)
