I'd post pictures, but I'm too vain to accept what my face looks like at this point (steroids - which I need, cause some intense facial swelling). I know I talk a lot about ice cream, but this is much more than what ice cream might cause. I'll work on snapping something acceptable tomorrow (there will be another outing). Red on the other hand has no shame so...

I thought...
...I'd never be leaving my house again before I died, but tonight I went down a ramp in my back yard and went to one of my favorite restaurants! Thank you to the crew that built that ramp. Keith put out a call and you stepped up within minutes, got it ready to use in 2 days, you are amazing! Thank you.

ReplyDeleteWould like to share a blog from Roger Ebert, which while I don't agree with all his thoughts I found exceptional: http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/05/go_gently_into_that_good_night.html
Even the comments to the blog had many good thoughts. It is long so don't give up any of the outings to read it though! Love forever!
E I got up the courage and the cell signal to check in today and so glad you are still posting We are still up in the sierras about a five hour drive away with spotty signal but emotionally I am sending you clear signals of love and admiration.. I hope time will wait so I can see you but know that I am with youin spirit. Julia

I've never seen such a lovely ramp :) Glad to hear you got out and enjoyed your favourite restaurant. Sounds like a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteEileen,
ReplyDeleteSorry I've missed your blog while traveling to Maine. That ramp is very impressive and clearly a fun activity for Red. Pixar folks are a talented bunch. Hope you continue to enjoy using the ramp and can get out for more treats. Meg showed us photos of the delicious entrees you had - Oakland is indeed foodie heaven! Lots of love, Ellen
Greetings from Maine! I am so happy that you had an outing; I hope that there will be more. Yes, the ramp is very impressive. You and Keith have talented friends; I am sure that the ramp was not easy to engineer. Seeing Red so excited is an extra bonus.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all of the time!!
Love and kisses,
Jane
