Ron came home on the 9th as planned. He's still moving slowly and on tube feeding. He is supplementing that with non-fat liquids like mint tea, juice, and broths. We'll see his new doctor on Gabriola today for a follow up. Next week will be another chest x-ray and a visit with the thoracic surgeon in Victoria. At that point we hope he will be able to advance his diet and begin cutting back on the tube feeds.

I feel like I am almost caught up with the house and garden stuff. I have planted a few vegetable starts, moved my fig and cherry trees out of pots into the ground, and filled in the flower beds with a few annuals.

I haven't finished the floor project yet, but the house is livable again and I can work on it more this week.

Ron's mum, stepdad, sister and brother in law came over for lunch on Sunday afternoon (Mother's Day). I cooked macaroni and cheese and a small ham on the barbecue grill. His sister, Jan, brought a nice strawberry cheesecake for dessert. We enjoyed it out on the front deck in the sun.

Today we are finally getting some much needed rain and Aurora has staked her claim in front of the heater.
