Small Life Recap

I’m not sure why I am just now getting around to writing a quick life recap. I guess I didn’t think I was as busy as I was.

Prior to Easter, my friend Margaret stopped by to see the kids. They always love when she stops by. She was passing by our house on her way home, so she made a pit stop. In a couple weeks, she is taking the kids, Sam and I to the Detroit Opera House to see Bugs Bunny. They actually have a live orchestra that will play along with the cartoons. I cannot wait for this.

It was a very cold Easter day! It was very windy. Some places were still flooded from the recent rains. The weather did not stop Nana from hiding eggs for the kids to find outside. They really lucked out this year, because it was just them. Their cousins were on a trip, so they loaded up on candy-filled eggs!

We had quite a meal, too. Sam’s mom had turkey, ham, potatoes, mac and cheese and loads of desserts. It was a nice, quiet day with good conversation.

I had hoped to get together with my boys before Easter, but Dimitri wasn’t feeling well. We were able to get together on Easter Monday for dinner. Ella was with her mom, so it was me and my three sons. We went to a nice place with a rustic feel to it. We had a really great meal and quite a few laughs.

The biggest change for me over the last week or so is having to get used to my new appliance.

I picked up my hearing aids and have been wearing them every day. Honestly, they make me feel like I don’t need them. Why? Because everything seems so loud now! My goodness, my kids talking, yelling or screaming make me wince. God forbid I am in a small room with them or in the car. Everything is magnified like three times.

I have to go back next week to see how they are working. At that time, they will set up Bluetooth. Yeah, high tech stuff. I’ll be able to answer my phone and it will go right to my hearing aids. I’m not sure what else they can do, but I suppose I will find out.

I suppose those are the big highlights from the week. Hopefully, you have had a great week, too.
