It may seem like an odd choice for my "OneThing," but sometimes I get too focused on my to-do lists to the detriment of more important things like relationships. As we spend more time at the lake (bliss!), it's too easy to be selfish with our slow time. But being here means we're much closer to many members of the Mohr family. We're not the best at getting together and socializing! But we do try. So I set this as my goal for the week.
Louie was waffling (mostly because he really wants to get work done on getting electricity to the pole barn and he was already working MTW) but I was blunt: if you ARE coming with me, I'll go visit on Thursday or Friday. If you're NOT coming with me, I'll go while you're working. Once I asked for a yes or no, he was in. I texted her daughter Susan about the visit, but didn't contact Shirley! (My social graces are a work in progress . . . )
We went and surprised her and had a lovely visit! I think she looks fabulous for being 89 years old. She is very happy being in assisted living and was a delight to chat with. She misses Grant (of course), but loves having visitors. She talked about her thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. What a blessing. I'm really, really glad we got to visit.
After our visit with Shirley, we had a lovely dinner with Louie's cousin Jim and his daughter Terri. I love the Mohr family so much!
This was a good choice for my One Thing and I'm glad it was a success.
