A Special Day with My Two Williams!
Today was a very good day. Hooray for May!
I drove to Houston today to visit Bill. Our son, Wil, was there, too, as he'd made the trip from Austin, yesterday, to see his dad. He is staying in Houston for a few days so he can visit his dad more than once. That made the day even more special – I got to see both of my Williams at once!
When we arrived, Bill was fast asleep. It took some coaxing to get him fully awake, but the promise of a strawberry filled donut did the trick! Once he was awake, Wil gave him a shave, and I gave him a haircut.
They were having a Cinco de Mayo celebration in the Canteen today (on the Assisted Living side of the care home), so one of the nurses invited us to join. Bill had a good time! Someone handed him a maraca to use, and he loved it! For the next 30 minutes, he shook that maraca and smiled like a little kid with a new toy!
It was such a gift to see him relaxed, peaceful, and having fun. Today was definitely a good visit.
Afterwards, Wil and I went to eat a a delicious restaurant in Houston called, Postino's. What a treat that was! Look at this delicious food we had!

And finally, more good news! The VA called with an update on the wheelchair. Instead of having to transport Bill back to the VA hospital (a major ordeal), they're sending the wheelchair vendor to him at Richard Anderson. That is such a relief!
We're getting closer to having a new wheelchair. I just have to wait for the vendor to call to schedule an appointment for me to meet them at Bill's memory care facility. Fingers crossed that it won't be long.
Yes, this was a good day!
