We're going out to Mexican Food....all 18 of us!

Wow, today has been an interesting day. Our cousin Dave Petrizze, came out from Utah to visit for a couple days and last night he made us some incredible Authentic Italian Pizza. You can imagine how much Dad enjoyed that. Gathered together were the Chidesters(those who weren't sick), the Skinners, Mom and Dad, our cousin Dave and our good friend Judy (who by the way made the most wonderful chocolate chip cookies)!! The kids had fun helping with the Pizzas and Dad sat in his chair facing the kitchen so he could watch the fixings. Everyone had a great time and we were all stuffed. This morning Dave and I arrived to take care of Dad and found him in a confused state. He had been that way since he woke up. We are blessed he still knows who HE is and everyone else. But it's been a little nutty listening to him all day. He has been very chatty. He has been asking me and Annie about getting everyone ready to go out to dinner, all 18 of us? Anyone who really knows Dad knows he looooooves Mexican Food. Well, that's where he was taking us tonight, and he was buying. It was rather cute and so much like the old Dad we remember. I asked him if he wanted lunch today and he grabbed my hand and whispered, "All I need is your lovin"! We imagine it's the toxins in his body confusing his brain, this has happened before, but he has been awful chatty today. Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I can't do either one in front of him or he thinks I'm up to something. If he isn't talking confusing chatter he is resting with a big grin on his face. Silly Daddy! Unfortunately we never made it to dinner, but I imagine he will bring up the mexican food thing again plenty of times! I think we may have to bring it to him....
