Katherine brought Chinese over for lunch today. She wanted to go out but I'm coming down with something and just didn't want to go to a restaurant.
So we ate Chinese food and watched "Beetlejuice." Katherine told me she always got excited when she heard the opening music. She would have been very young when she first saw it. It's still a favorite.
I asked her if she's thought about a wedding gown. She said, "anything that doesn't make me look too terrible."

Sad anniversary
Mom (Grandma McNally) reminded me that today is the 11th anniversary of the day my brother Patrick passed away. It hardly seems possible. I actually had a dream about him and my other brother who passed away, Michael. It was very vivid, and Michael looked the way he did before he passed away 40 years ago--a smiling young guy.
On top of that, it would have been my parents' 65th anniversary if my dad was still here.

Nick is home
Nicky came home this morning. He sent Mike a text a little before 9 a.m. and he was already on the train that goes from the airport. He is sound asleep now. I'm glad he's home and can't wait to hear if he had a good time.

Call from Nick
Nick called me all the way from Buffalo last night. I was so happy to hear from him. He's having a good time and thinks he'll be home Tuesday.
He asked where his aunt and uncle live, but they are not close by. We decided next time he knew he was making that trip, we'd make arrangements for his aunt or uncle (Martha and Tom) to come get him to spend a day at their place. He'd probably enjoy that. I think the last time he was there he was too young to ride their 'trikes' by himself. I think it's been years since any of us were up there!

Shadow, and Nick News
Shadow had his stitches out today. He's ALL DONE! I'm sooo happy, and I bet he is, too. No more stupid cone.
Doesn't seem to miss his cajones at all.
Tonight, Nick is joining a friend for a trip by plane to visit a college friend. It's his first time flying without family (me, I mean) but his friend has made this trip before. It is too bad it is a short trip because he will be just an hour away from his Aunt's house. However, there just won't be any time as it is a weekender.

He's home!
Shadow was SO happy to see us when Mike and I went to pick him up from the vet. He was there from Monday night to this afternoon.
Needless to say, we are SO happy to have our baby home with us!
