For the Taking

I was tempted to take one of these pots on the weekend (the largest one), these people put a whole bunch of stuff out for free. What do you think?




I had a busy day yesterday. I took my mom for her heart checkup. She had an ECG and an echocardiogram (Heart Ultrasound) done, then we saw the cardiologist. She's been stable for the past 6 months (she has congestive heart failure) and he doesn't need to see her for another 6 months unless things change. We went for a seafood (crab and lobster) lunch at a Chinese restaurant. It was delicious. The waiters and waitresses were all very friendly, either they weren't very busy, or else everyone was having a good day. We even got  complimentary corn soup (like an egg drop soup) and at the end of the meal I asked for 'that hot, black, sweet, silky dessert' and got it! The waitress couldn't tell me the name in English and I didn't know what it was either.  How's that for successful communication skills!

    Mmmm. I don't like crab, but do love other seafood. Glad your mom's condition is stable.

    Good to know your mum's check up went well. As for those pots, I think most people could find a home for them, there is always something you can pot up isn't there.

    Good to know your mom is doing well! And I also like to take my mom out for lunch when I take her to the doctor.

    Those dishes are so delicious looking! What a tease for an early morning :-)

    I ABSOLUTELY would have taken that pot...and as many of the others as I could carry :-)

    Yeah, I thought that might be Chinese food when I saw the pics.

    You're a good daughter. I've learned so much more about caregiving caring for mom and dad. Have you read my book about my saga? It was a journey!!!
