Spending Time With Mike...

As you all know, for the past week we were in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 
visiting youngest son Mike and his girl Lila.
Mike had surgery on his right eye so we went down to help out.
I was so happy to be with them.
I brought some food I cooked at home and meal ideas for each night,
 a huge bag of games and a 1000 piece puzzle.

 The procedure went well on Monday and he felt better each day!

In order to pass the time, there were some pretty competitive card games,


- War and Go Fish -

and this new to me game,
- Rack-O -
I fell in love with this game, I'll have to get one for myself.

There were many games of 
- Uno and Scattergories - Categories -

 We let Mike win a lot, since he was the patient...
hehehehe...
We're back home now - it was a great week - I enjoyed every moment with them.
It was so hard to say good-bye!

    You combined a great time, with being of help. Very nice combination. :-)

    Mmmmm, I never played card games. Not even with children or grandchildren. I know, I am *terrible*... >,-)

    Best wishes for his being all better soon!!!!!

    How wonderful that you got to visit for a whole way, even though Mike had surgery. I am sure having Mom and Dad to help out was a real tonic. Wishing him the very best and a speedy recovery.

    Great time visiting with your son. So glad all went well with him. I used to put at least one or two puzzles during the winter. I started one this past yr for the first time in yrs and never finished it....too much other stuff to be doing I guess. UNO - we used to play this at home with the kids all the time but I also played it at work during lunch. Fun times. Hoping your son continues to improve with each passing day.

    Old fashioned board games! I love it! This weekend Grandson Robert, his granddad and I all played Tri-Ominoes.
    I know you were happy to be close to your son as he recovered. Moms are like that.

    How fun, I love Rack-O we had that game when we were kids. Glad to hear your son's operation went well and he was getting better every day! I know what you mean about having to say goodbye, the kids are moving the end of July and I am not looking forward to it!
