Dad had a great time in Florida. The plane ride went smoothly. Dad was taken at the curb in the wheelchair inside. The luggage was also taken at the curb, so I just had to push him to the security with very little wait. I was able to get first class tickets at the last minute, so it was nice to sit in wide leather seats!
Jennie met us at the airport and drove us to a nice dinner with lots of cousins. Dad sat down next to Jennie and they started arguing! But they did not seem to know what each was talking about! We had a nice lamb dinner. Later we visited Jennie's suite: living room and small bedroom and bath. Also a small kitchenette with mini-fridge.
The next day Chip watched Dad as Jennie, Kenny and I went to visit her old friend Kris' parents who live conveniently near by.
Linda had planned a whole day of activities starting with a brunch, complete with roast beef and banana pancakes, etc. Then the afternoon we had the party with a Mardi Gras theme. We saw a slide show, Jennie and Anice blew out the candles. Dad and Jennie enjoyed chatting again.
Well, we had to leave on Monday. Jennie drove us over to visit Aunt Jennie one more time.
At the airport Dad announced he was Charles Dancy USN retired at the security checkpoint. So I guess he knew what was going on.
Jason picked us up at the airport. We drove back to his home and had some take-out pizza. Ashley got upset because they think the kids next door are throwing rocks at their cats. And Ashley wanted Jason to run over and confront the neighbors, but he was reluctant. Anyway, I decided that was a good time to leave (it was about nightfall as well).
We got home about 8 p.m. and watched TV for a while. Dad went to bed about 11 (we both had fallen asleep in the living room).
He didn't wake up until 9:30 am! Ilene came by about 10 am and later the nurse Renee visited for Dad's monthly B-12 shot.
