Old Friends

Today Camden, Neil, and I loaded up and went to Indianola. We went to Indywood (an assisted living facility) where my oldest and dearest friend lives. I feel bad because this was her first meeting with Neil, but now that I know how easy the trip was we will definitely make it once a month. Mrs. Pinion loved visiting with the kids and Camden loved rearranging all of her nick-knacks and playing with her jewelry. Neil was content to lay on the bed and watch all of the excitement. After talking with her I found out that she has not been out to eat the entire eight months of her stay there! So we (being me, since she is ninety something) loaded the kids back up and headed to Pea Soups. She was so happy to be out of the place and into the world again that she cried all the way to the restaurant. The tears went away once they brought her a cheeseburger and she was lively and chatty once again. After lunch we went back to her room and visited a little while longer. I was so glad we got to see her and can't wait to go back once we get moved in and show her pictures of the new house. Below are a few pictures from today.

Loving on Neil
