Bobbi continues her surprisingly uneventful recovery - even though she is not the most compliant patient. By Christmas Day (Saturday) she was well enough for Lew to attend the ASL mass - and pick up the goodies (a fruit cake and a hand-carved wooden vase) her friend had prepared for her. Lew also brought her communion.
As behooves two antiques whose house is crammed to the rafters with the offal of years of collecting and inability to throw anything away, gifting was pretty abstemious. Bobbi's sister and brother-in-law dropped by long enough to gift us with two small chocolate cream pies and a religious coffee table book - at least the pies will not last long, and will quickly disappear down the drain and in the trash. Brother Luther gifted us with fruit - from Florida. Scott sent us a CD, but currently it is lost among all the other "stuff".
That evening Paul prepared Xmas dinner for us - vegan, and delicious. We made the usual phone calls around to Linda, Luther, and Scott - all of whom were doing well. Our friend Johnny Wanko made his call also - we had not spoken to him in many months, and it was wonderful to be oriented again, though regrettably Johnny's wife is badly crippled by osteoarthritis from years of being overweight.
