Back to Normal...

Ah... things are finally back to normal. Mom picked up her new and improved partial from the dentist on Tuesday afternoon and now doesn't have to hide out any longer! Her adventures in getting out started immediately following her dentist appointment. We get into the car and she says, "So, where are we going? What errands do we have to run? Should we stop somewhere and have lunch?" I had to smile. My Mom can smile again without feeling shame and is ready to get out and paint the town. ha ha

I think that Mom wanted to stop at every store that we have ever shopped in just to pick something up and be out and about. We stopped to get some pet food, some groceries, some lottery tickets, and some lunch. She was just so cute.

Unfortunately, it started raining just as we were getting back into our neighborhood, so Mom couldn't go walking around to visit neighbors or go to Gilmart. Bummer.

To make up for lost time, Mom got out of bed early this morning and made her way over to Gilmart bright and early. The sun is shining and Mom is also spreading her sunshine. It's just too cute to see Mom with all this energy and wanting to be out and about. I love it. This is the Mom I know and love!!!
