First Day of Spring

I was up and about early this morning to go to the foot doctor who confirmed that I had broken my toes.  He taped them together but they are a lot better; they have been painful since I dropped the laptop on them on New Year's Day, then a few weeks later broke the toes on the other foot banging into a chair leg.  I am being very careful carrying things, and walking round chairs.

Afterwards I visited Pattisue who was having chemo at the hospital.  It is her last session; she looks a lot better but Larry said that is due to the steroids she is taking.    I then went round one of the floors visiting the patients.

It wasn't a normal Wednesday evening as it is Spring Break, but the Adult Interest Group met for the third of Sandra's Lenten talks, then seven of us went out to dinner and that was very pleasant.

My Kiwani friend Cecil was on the late local news and I was home in time to see that.  He is 92 years old and had a very distinguished military career serving with General Patton in WWII.  During a particularly bloody battle in Italy he promised God that if his life was spared he would spend the rest of it serving Him, which is what he has done.  He is well known in Shawnee for all the voluntary work he does.  

One of the jobs is delivering meals on wheels, and it was when he was picking up the meals that the tv crew waylaid him a few days ago.  They presented him with an award on behalf of a charitable foundation called 'Pay it Forward'.

I took some pictures from the television.

I am in awe of all that he and Louise do, and have done, and the reason I started picking up the donuts from Tecumseh soon after I joined Kiwanis is because I felt it was one thing I could do for them.  I did it for a long time but now a couple of other members, who have retired, take a turn.
