Thomas, Susan and Joki stopped by for a visit today and we really enjoyed having them stop in. Joki brought an Elmo doll made out of balloons from the San Francisco wharf and that was a special treat! I hope you enjoy the pictures. This week was the trade show, Semicon/West, held in San Francisco and that is the draw that brings our German friends to the area.
The day started with Mary declaring she wanted waffles for breakfast. I didn't know if they made frozen waffles and if they did, if Mary would be willing to eat them. She then informed me that I would make them here. Uh-huh. We are talking about the man who burns water while trying to boil it.
The recipe starts with a quick trip to the supermarket to pick up waffle mix and syrup. Then you follow the instructions on the back of the box! Of course, you need to pull the waffle maker out of the cabinet and pre-heat it but that pretty straightforward. Mary did the duty of putting the batter into the waffle maker and the waffles were very good.
We also went out for a shopping trip before the visit. We dropped off and picked up the dry cleaning, hit the bank teller machine, picked up some killer goodies at the bakery and then did some shopping for more comfortable undergarments for Mary. She was successful and found the items she had in mind in a little shop in Los Gatos. We headed home and a short while later Joki and Elmo arrived to start the visit.
Overall, Mary gets tired quickly, but she is eating well. Its nice to have two days off from both the chemo and radiation. That will start again on Monday.
