FIL, Pirates and Knitting Nonsense

It's official. My MIL emailed us today that my FIL is officially out of assisted living. He'll be living in the rehab nursing home for 90 days then will be evaluated. After that he'll move to one of the regular care wings in the same Home. The Home is actually pretty nice considering it's one step from living in a hospital. In all fairness I can see why my FIL is having a hard time. The place may be nice and it may have nice amenities but it's still a full care nursing home and that has to suck. We went to visit him on Sunday and while it was really beautiful out we still had to contend with his self pity. The wild man did his utmost to cheer his Grumpy up. It worked for a while then when we said we had to leave (to give lunch to the wild man and see his Mem) my FIL slipped back into self pity. Like I said, it's understandable but it's still pretty hard to take.

My MIL wasn't feeling well that day. We still had a nice visit even though the wild man refused all attempts at napping. He finally conked out in the car around 5pm, of course. Since we were nearly home we let him catnap.

Saturday we went to a birthday party and had a good time! Wild man dressed up like a pirate and even had fun at the vernacular, AR Maties! The food was good and the company the best!

Nothing new on the knitting front. Still working on the never ending hubby sweater and I've done a few more rows on the second Trekking sock. Sad but I haven't felt much like knitting these last two days. Probably because I borrowed 5 books from the church library and have almost plowed through the first one! Sisterchicks do the Hula. It's really good!

Here's a few pics of the little pirate, the birthday girl & her bro, and the birthday girl with my BFF to leave you with...
