Thursday morning started off with a big breakfast, then dinner was put in the oven to simmer, (Herb watching) while I went to water therapy...Pat and I join a new group of friends every Tuesday and Thursday for a "do your own thing" water therapy...Not only do we exercise and stretch our bodies, we visit, laugh and relax with a final soak in the hot tub...It is becoming the high light of our week!..Yesterday we were a mile out of Joseph, on our way, when my cell phone started ringing...Herb called to say that the swimming pool was out of order today, meaning no water therapy!..I pulled into a turn around spot as Pat cried out, "It can't be, this is my last day," she said, about to burst into tears...Thinking fast I said, "Lets go to the chocolate shop!" A big smile replaced her tears.
So we drowned our sorrows in steaming mochas and talked about her upcoming cross country trip next week...She and Brian will be making their home in Maryland (where they lived for many years) for 6 months out of the year and return to Joseph in May for the alternate 6 months...This plan allows them to spend more time with their only grandchild and time on the farm helping their son...Pat wants to do this for obvious reasons but also would love to spend the winter in Wallowa County...We soon had our chocolate fix and went our separate ways, Pat to finish packing, me to fix dinner...All will be well, life move on...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
