T Stands for Summer Days

 Hi everyone. Happy T day. It's time to share a drink again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.

     This past weekend my daughter and her husband were supposed to come for a day, and we were all heading up to my mother-in-law's home on the lake. My MIL is now in an assisted living. She is definitely having some memory issues and having a conversation with her is very difficult.  Sometimes you have no idea what she is talking about. Whether anyone will take her by her house for a day this summer I don't know at this point, but since the house is  in a family trust, the 3 siblings are on a weekly rotation.

      Last week was my husband's week, and Saturday we planned on having an extended family day on the dock. Sadly, it was a miserable wet day, and that didn't happen. Sunday wasn't any better either, in fact the storms were more severe later in the day. The weather squashed all my weekend plans (😩) but what can you do about the weather? Luckily my younger sister-in-law often invites us up during her weeks just as we invite her and her family over on our weeks, and the summer is young, so I suspect there will be a lot more weekend get togethers on the dock.

     Now for all I mentioned the bad weather weekend, the good thing is that during the extremely hot heat dome that we had during the middle of last week, my daughter had Juneteenth/Wednesday the 19th off from work. My husband took the day off, so we were able to have a fun family time at the lake. We just missed my son-in-law who didn't have the day off, but it was nice to have a day like in  the olden days when our daughter was younger and unattached. 

     The dogs definitely enjoyed their lake day too. Even Maddie. Her glucose levels are not as low as they should be, but they are down some. You can see she is wearing a glucose sensor so we can keep track of what they are. Luckily the sensor can get wet for short periods of time, so she was able to take some short little swims. Since she is now blind, there have been some obvious adjustments. At home she is  successfully maneuvering most of the time, but this was her first lake trip since losing her sight. She did really well, but we did keep her on a rope and keep our eyes on her just so she didn't do something to injure herself. We've had more than enough vet bills with her diabetes that I don't want to pay for any other injuries.

Pete did a lot of swimming, and he even needed the next day to rest. 😏

This last photo isn't great, but here's a late  in the day drink for T day.  And ha ha for the next photo. My daughter was faking she was asleep  in the new chair she bought for herself.

And I'll finish with this photo of Maddie's wet hair.  I think it has great texture. Maddie loves being wet, so you can image how many times she went into the water.

That's all for me. Have a great T day and week ahead.
