"I want to go to Mamawland"

That's what Sophie told me on the phone today. Mamawland is what she calls my house.

I am taking a teeny tiny road trip tomorrow and Wednesday with Vicky and Sherie. We are going to St. Louis to run around and just relax and have some fun. We will be back on Wednesday. The kids are staying with Heidi's famly and they are looking forward to that ALOT.

Thursday, in a somewhat surprising turn of events, I am going back to the orthopaedic surgeon for a recheck of my shoulder. Then I am starting some more physical therapy. I still don't have the range of motion I should have. I can't reach behind my back to tie an apron and I can't hold my arm up straight over my head. Perhaps most important to me, I can't put it behind my head when laid back in my recliner and I can't sleep with it up over my head when I'm on my left side. These are all things I want to do, so more PT is coming up.

Afterwards, I plan on working on a project for my friend, Esther. I am making a miniature free-standing closet of sorts for her granddaughter's dress up clothes. Esther is having me make it for Becca's birthday in August. I think it will be pretty cool. Then I have my Bible study that evening. That will take me to Friday, where I am planning on spending some time making caramel corn for a street fair of sorts our church is going to be involved in.

Which will bring me to Friday night -- and I think I will have some overnight visitors.... and nothing will make me happier :)
