Getting out again

This week, Tim's therapy schedule changed to Monday - Thursday from Tuesday - Friday, so our weekend with Tim was a little shorter than usual, but still with enough time to fit in a few things. On Friday night, while I was at work and Amy at her "book club," Peter brought Tim up through the heavy snow for dinner with Sarah and him. Saturday was a quiet night at home with a couple of movies and delicious dinner compliments of Katie and Kathy. On Sunday, Tim had a couple of nice visits. Carolann, Tony and Allott stopped by for a quick hello and to deliver a gift pack of practical, yet fun items, from the Nash's at Blue Q www.blueq.com that put a smile on his face. Aunt Molly stopped by a bit later and shared a nice long conversation, before Amy and Tim headed back to Charlestown.

When Amy got home on Monday, she learned that Tim had headed out on his own for the first time in awhile. He called a cab - a standard cab, not one of the special chair cabs that he's used in the past - and went to the Cambridgeside Galleria where he bought a new pair of shoes and got a haircut. He said that the cabbies were great and happily helped him with his chair. Tim was planning to spend a longer time in Boston before coming home on the 14th, but cousin Lily is having a birthday party on Saturday, so he'll be home again. Looming ahead is Tim's first March 21st driving lesson in the VAN!

Back in the Swing o things

Hey Tim, Glad to see your Dad's back in the swing of things (rrr, I just had to use a baseball analogy). You've made a HUGE transition over the past few months - talk about a NEW Year!! I am glad that after all your hard work, things are settling down for you all. I am sitting here with coffee and sunshine and the hope that we might see you later today. I've got a very thoughtful and funny something for you from the boys (Mitch and Seth) at Blue Q. Lott and lotts of love from your not-so-far-away Auntie in East Stockbridge.
