Just got home from the store and settling in next to the fire for the evening. David is doing ‘okay’ since I got back from New York last weekend. The first week back from France was a little difficult, getting used to the time schedule, the rain, and the adjustment of being ‘back from vacation’.
Springtime is coming so there is a lot to do in the store, adjusting displays and getting the stock set up for some new merchandise that is just arriving now. The big housewares show in March is coming up (Chicago) which was the event last year that David was heading to (to meet me) when the stroke hit. We’ve got our tickets (paid for with the travel credits United gave us for their almost killing David on the flight to Paris) and the hotel (points) for the show so we’re ready to go! Hopefully it won’t be snowing in Chicago in March this year. We missed the big food show in San Francisco last month since it ended just before we got back so this show will be a busy event for us to go to.
David is hoping we can get to France for the opening, or at least the first season, of Pierre-Jean’s restaurant in Jard sur Mer this April/May. That all depends on my work schedule so we will have to see what can be arranged when the time is nearer.
The next month is pretty busy with followup visits with David’s doctors and getting restarted at the therapy pool. We have not figured out yet about starting his physical therapy again so that will take a little research and work with the insurance company.
David wants to do some work in his mother’s garden this year since it has gotten out of control in the last couple of years. We’ were going to start on that this weekend but mother nature isnt cooperating (its going to be raining).
Thanks for keeping up with the blog, more next week…
