Since yesterday was pool-cleaning day I didn't get in my laps, but instead soaked/read in The Party Pool in the morning. In the afternoon I did a little laundry before another stint as sous chef. Tuesday's (large batch) garlic bread was easily devoured on that night, but Terry thought I might have put a tad too much garlic in the potatoes last night (can you really have too much garlic?) though there didn't seem to be any complaints!  We all pigged out on the grilled salmon dinner , but (somehow) saved room for her made-from-scratch brownies (with ice cream, of course.)

Elinor did not get released from rehab yesterday in time to make her 11:00 post-op visit with the surgeon, so that was rescheduled for 1:45 - though she didn't actually see the doc until 4:00. So much for making it home from Denver yesterday. Terry called around for her, looking for a handicapped room in Frisco (between here and there) and made a reservation for them. But when Elinor and Richard arrived, the "handicapped" room had no grab bars in the bathroom; apparently the motel people called anything on the first floor a handicapped room. Of course they turned down the room - and since they had not cancelled 24 hours ahead (hard to do when you've just made the reservation a few hours earlier...) the motel wanted to charge them!

Today Neil & Terry and Kristina & Jake are going for a drive to look for wildflowers. Tom and Steve were out that way a week or so ago when they went grubbing, and said the flowers were lovely; hope everything is still blooming and happy.

My plans for today include (drumroll) soaking and relaxing. And maybe a little house-cleaning while Neil is not underfoot.
