2/13/14 - I have decided to stay another month in Cleveland since my Aunt is slowly healing.  Her next doctor's appointment is March 7th and then hopefully she will be able to bend the knee and put weight on the foot so she can be more self sufficient.  I have not actually changed my schedule but am looking at returning to Phoenix on March 26th. We have actually had a few warmer days (temp in the 20's) but last snow was on Saturday.  On Saturday, some of Aunt Esther's friends came over and I learned how to play a card game named "hand and foot".  It was really interesting.  On Monday my Uncle Homer and his wife came over for lunch.  Aunt Betz brought over the dessert which was date pudding so we were really happy.  We had a nice visit.  They live about two hours from here.  On Wednesday night, two couples (friends of Aunt Esther) came over for dinner.  I made sauerkraut and spare ribs.  It was delicious. After dinner we played Rummique. (I am sure that is not spelled right). Tomorrow two uncles from Plain City are coming up for the day so we plan to have lunch.  Then we have a couple coming over on Saturday night for dinner and they also like to play games and are bring a new game.  Aunt Esther and I decided that we would plan to do NOTHING on Sunday. 

On Tuesday, I finally convinced her that I could put the wheelchair in the back seat and there was no reason why we could not get out.  She really wanted to get some projects to do since she is really bored so we ended up at Hobby Lobby.  The high for the day was 17 degrees!  We did have a good time.  This afternoon while she was having a snack, she also lost a front tooth off her dentures!  We could not believe it.  She called her dentist and could not be scheduled until Monday.  We then got a phone call around 4:10pm and they stated they could see her if she could get in by 5:00.  We got cleaned up and out the door by 4:45.  Now she also has a new tooth!!  It was a good day since the dentist office was giving out carnations for Valentine's Day and since it was the end of the day, they also gave me one so we have a nice arrangement on the table.
