Things are generally fine. Hooray. My mom is going back home to Idaho tomorrow. Awww. It's been pretty great to have her here even though she beat me at Scrabble 3 games to 2. I won the last game with 290 points to her 258.
My mom and I have been playing Scrabble for as long as I can remember. But probably since 6th grade. It took me a long time to become as good a player as she is. So for a lot of years I was playing catch up -- increasing my vocabulary and developing strategy skills. Then for a few years we were evenly matched. And then she had a series of "mini strokes." That slowed her down a lot at first but she's built back up and now we're at par again.
Life is certainly an interesting journey.
OH, and here's a pic of the hideous bruise that's developed on my leg. It's not pretty.
