WEEKEND 

I spent a nice weekend despite the fact that I was still suffering from withdrawal symptoms because I  stopped taking cortisone and then wondered why I felt so bad. I was hoping that when my son and grandson arrived on Saturday I would feel better, but I still had blurry eyes and felt dizzy at times. 

They arrived at noon, with dog Leia and when they entered my room, cat and dog looked at each other, Rosie made huge eyes but remained in her basket and Leia must have thought that this cat must be a family member and lay down. That was the first time they were in the same room and it went very well.

Of course for the dog our park is ideal for running around and chasing her ball ! Then Dario my son picked up 2 or 3 hamburgers or cheeseburger each,  they both have a very good appetite. They sat at our picnic table in the park and they swallowed the hamburgers in no time, I had already eaten. 

They played in the park until 3 pm, time to sit on the terrace and playing a game with all the others. The weather was wonderful, and we were 21 oldies to play. Toby likes to play with all the grandmas and likes them in general, he served them cookies and Dario set the tables with cups and then poured the coffee. Of course everyone was impressed by the two giants (2 m and 1,95 m) and I was happy because they were so nice. Even Leia visited all the laps and got some cookie pieces.

Everybody was happy with the dogs, there was another one on visit and both got a lot of cuddles ! 

The afternoon went by very quickly, and at 5.30 pm they left, because they were invited for a barbecue at Dario's best friend.  

I was quite dizzy after they left, had supper and at 8 pm I was exhausted and went to bed.

 

 These are Rosie's eyes when she saw Leia

Sunday the temperature dropped by 10°C it rained and there was a strong wind. I was still feeling badly, but at 3pm I went playing  a game that translated was named “hang on the gallows”. You had to find a word and each time you didn't find it a gallows was drawn. 

After having assured my little Italian lady (94)  that her parents are still alive and in good health and that they are waiting for her, I returned to my room. If you don't agree with her she gets very angry and then starts to cry. So I play the game and then she remains calm and forgets.

  1. Arthur looked so scrawny when he arrived. That didn't last.
    It's nice that Dario and Toby visited, and with their dog. All that food they ate and then they are going to a barbeque.
    We call the game you describe, Hangman.

  2. You look so tiny next to your son and grandson. Toby is very tall for his age. It must have been so pleasant to have them both there and Leia, charming the residents.
    I hope your dizziness is less now.

  3. Kitten Arthur was adorable. It's amazing how small they are when they are kittens. I know how much Rick loved Arthur.

    I'm glad you had a great weekend, but wish you had felt better.

    Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Gattina. Scritches to beautiful Rosie. ♥

  5. I am. glad you are beginning go feel a wee bit better each day, sorry you still have those dizzy spells. Cortizone should always be withdrawn in gradual steps, I am surprised your MD didn't do that.
    I used to use a steroid inhaler too,, but when i found out I was getting those 'old lady brittle bones', I weaned myself off of it over the course of several weeks.

    How nice that your son and grandson paid a visit and Leia was able to be there too. Rosie'w big eyes made me laugh!
