Merry Christmas & Flashback Post

I know I know . . . it has been a long time! LOL  Dad wasn't feeling well, and ended up in the hospital with pneumonia last week, December 17th. He also had an eye infection. Scary stuff! He was in rough shape. He got transferred to rehab on Tuesday, and is still there. Doc said maybe 3-4 weeks! Holy shit! That is a long time. So no Bernie at home for Christmas. We still had a good day, at least we faked it pretty well. I made a kick ass brisket, colcannon, corn casserole and roasted cauliflower.Mom and Joe have been visiting in the mornings; Mom goes back in the afternoon, today John (Pat lol) went with her; and I go at night. Dad continues to improve. He is on oxygen, but he looks pretty good for a 95 year old!

I'm flashing back to things I thought about blogging about, but never did!

Funny Kay/Norene/Bernie conversation while Dad was in hospital (in bed, on oxygen, in a hospital gown!):

Bernie: I hope I don't have to milk tonight. Or take a shower! They won't make me take a shower on my first night here, will they?

Kay/Norene: I think you are safe Bernard. No work for you!

Bernie:  Good! I'm old and gay.

Kay/Norene: What!? (giving Bernie The Look)

Bernie: I'm old and gay.

Kay: (laughing laughing) Gay?!

Bernie:  GRAY GRAY!

lololol

Flashback to last weekend; annual cookie baking at Mar's.

Mark, Mar's twin bro and Donna's hubby. If you see him . . . RUN!

It's all about the ass . . . I mean the BASS!

The Rileys. We missed Jackson this year, he was under the weather, darn it!

Awww Mar and Kristi get prettier every year! Thanks for the cookie day again Mar!

 

Flashback to December 12, 2014, Bernie turns 95! But Bernie wasn't feeling too good . . .

Bernie feeling punk. But really, Bernie never looks that great when he is sleeping! LOLOL

Even further back . . . we had a good Thanksgiving, turkey extravaganza, and I gave Midge her Christmas present early. She's been wanting some space of her own, you know, so  . . .

Midge inside . . .

And Finn on top!

introducing the Kitty Club House? Hmm I just made that up. I need to think of something more sassy. It's outside now, so the kitties can get out of the wind should they choose!

That's it. Peace Out.

And I left Bernie a note today on his wardrobe . . it says EAT SLEEP EXERCISE - GET BETTER! We want him home!
