Ken visited his eye doctor today and learned that his eye pressure has fallen down into the acceptable range (thank goodness) BUT the doctor will not be doing the other eye this year. He waited to be sure all was going to be ok before making the next surgery appointment and now there simply is not enough time to remove the cataract and have time for the return visits before we have to leave Michigan. So Ken will be living with only one eye done. Luckily it seems to be working well.
Before heading out to Sterling Heights for that visit we had a great visit with Ron and Shirley Brendel over lunch at the Bittersweet Cafe in Holly. It still has the fancy tin ceiling put in many many years ago along with the brick wall givinihg it an olden days feel. The food choices of sandwiches, salads, soups and all day breakfast foods all have unique names reflecting the area and olden times. For instance I had a Victorian Salad (chicken, dried cranberries, feta cheese, lettuce) while Shirley had a Diehels Apple Chicken Salad (Diehels is a nearby orchard).
After lunch, we walked down to the new bread bakery for a cookie dessert. There we could sit at a table with an old toaster on it as there specialty is slices of several types of bread that you can toast at your table and enjoy. They hope to soon add salads as well.
On our way home from the doctors, we stopped at COSTCO for some items and took advantage of the large building and air conditioning to walk up and down every aisle getting in some of our steps for the day. It is always nice to find a fresh new surrounding to walk around. :-)
Tonight we had some tomato soup I had made yesterday with a bunch of tomatoes that Dean gave me from his plants. It was delicious!! It had a unique taste to it because it included some ground cloves.
And Jen called while Noelle was participating in a volleyball practice at her school. The team was just formed this week and will give her a chance to wear the team shirt Abbi had the one year she attended Portersville. We will be heading to their home on September 11 to stay for a little over a week and she wanted us to know she and Abbi would be gone most of that time as they are flying to Oregon to stay with Abbi's Spanish teacher and then attending a Veritas gathering where she will help the teacher but also get to participate in some of the activities. So we will be stepping in and trying to fit into Jen's shoes playing taxi driver, cook and bottle washer plus plus plus!
After our evening walk, we enjoyed not only our usual shows - Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune - but a Tiger ball game with them winning 9-4.
