My sister stopped by last night, visited with my dad for a little while in response to his calling to find out why no one stopped by to see him. Was mostly the usual silence, but she did take my advice and came armed with conversation starter this time - a few pictures of dad's mom to ask him about where they had been taken etc.
We were gonna go for a drive with her today, but she expects to be gone till after 9 probably and dad feels tired (stayed up all night looking forward to the drive ::shakes head:: ) and did not feel like going out over the ice to get to the car, then driving for 6 hours, so instead he decided that he preferred to stay home and watch 2012, that new John Cusack movie. So I reserved the movie at the local Blockbuster and my sister'll pick it up on her way through town and bring it out this evening for dad to watch.
Shame that dad didn't feel up to a drive, since it is a very nice day today. Which also means it is exceptionally icy on the walkway too. Need to get out there and toss more ice melt on it to fix that. This summer I plan to run the steps down off the side of the porch to escape the spring runoff onto the porch.

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.
I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.
Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.
If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.
Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
