I have been staying up way too late these past few nights, and it wasn’t writing the blog as you all know. I roasted a chicken and then made stock. Needed to use some over-ripe bananas, so I made banana bread. Today we had a very tasty soup from leftover chicken and the stock. Not sure why I feel compelled to do this, but, what the heck. Have a bunch of lemons, oranges and grapefruits that I need to start doing something with, and will take suggestions!
We met with a personal trainer who will come to the house and work with David, and that starts on Monday morning. He specializes in working with folks with physical limitations. Should be good, I hope. He seems like a nice fellow. Also, in the realm of getting things started, they are supposed to drain the pool the week after next and begin work, so we will have a new pool and spa by early March. When we met with the trainer, we ran into Miguel who did the renovation on the house here, and had a nice chat. He emailed later that day and offered to do the pool for us. I told him that we already contracted someone, and thanked him, but asked if he could come by and see the kitchen cabinets, which are not holding up so well. Structurally they are fine, but the doors on the island are getting damaged from water. Wood and water are not the best of friends, and not sure if there is much to be done, but he will take a look. Maybe just get them refinished.

She is quite a force to be reckoned with, and has a very rigid way of working that may be hard for David. He was frustrated afterwards. I think I may have talked about her method, but it is essentially a series of written symbols that show the placement of the mouth, tongue and teeth when you make a particular sound. The theory should work for David, because if he gets some help starting a word, it normally will come out. We’ll try it.
Thursday was the speech group at Eisenhower Medical Center, and the group was very large. Everyone is back home after the holidays I guess. A very interesting group of folks and David and I talked afterwards about who were our favorites. There really isn’t anyone that we don’t like, but there are a couple of folks that I like a lot. There is this one guy who has very little speech, similar to David, who always seems on the verge of saying something that appears to be very funny, or at least he things so. David does that all the time. I see his face light up, and that smile on his face, and I know he has something very funny to say. Once in a great while, I can guess what it is. He still makes me laugh, which is a godsend!
Thanks, as ever, Scott. You and David make my days — especially these cold ones in DC — with lots to eat and to think about. Mary and Peter Clute and I are going to explore Croatia by car and cruise this summer. Bet we’ll talk about you and David with love. Susan
