The kids' free week is just about over. Summer school starts tomorrow (ah...it's only gym). Tuesday, softball lost again 8-4. We are just not hitting. Or fielding. Oh well, we're just practicing for the tournament. Friday we helped the Bells move to their new house, as did most of the people at church. We went to their old house with the van and truck and started helping carry things out and loading them into all the other trucks and trailers. When everything was full, everyone took them to the new house and unloaded. It's amazing how fast a church family can get things moved, I wonder how non-churchgoers do it. We all only had to do 2 trips and pretty much the entire household was emptied and moved in to the new one. They had lots of pizza and pop for everyone too. Saturday was a vet trip for both cats, all their shots were due. The vet like Ruby's ear hair so much she took a picture and asked if she could put it on the vet clinic's Facebook page (we had to sign a waiver). The girls still needed some shorts and a few other things, and I wanted to visit Mom since I hadn't in a few weeks, so we went to Fort Wayne for the afternoon. The girls dropped Alex and me off at the home, and we visited Mom for a couple hours while the girls shopped. There was another ice cream social today, and we just happened to wander downstairs (to look at the birds) as it was ending, so Mom and Alex and I got some ice cream, and since it was a nice day we took it outside to the porch. Walked around a little bit too. It was the first time Mom has been outside the building since she moved in. Overall she didn't seem worse than the last time I was there, but there's not much of her left. I'm pretty sure she doesn't know who I am, but she knows that she knows me somehow. She doesn't know who Alex is but she likes him. She smiles at him a lot. She doesn't talk much, though. And she doesn't seem to remember Laura at all. Today, we all went to the Winona Lake art fair for a while (not as much there that I was interested in this time...) then up to Michigan for Sam's birthday party (he's 17). There was a cookout at the Wiessner's house. Pretty much everyone in the whole family was there.
