Out and About with Jeff
If you're on Facebook with Jeff, then you know that since he moved back home the guy has not stopped going, going going.
From lunches and shopping with mom-to the Little Italy Farmer's market with Amanda, BJ and myself-to boating on the bay last weekend, this guy is mobile.
We shared so many "firsts" and adventures in our short weekend (6/23-25) with Jeff and Amanda. We went to the Farmer's market and surprised them with a one-of-a-kind painting of their beloved pups. We ate pizza at a sidewalk cafe. And, then we had happy hour at the boat club. To top off our active day, we went to Slater's for burgers and I must say Jeff does not know what he missed with his veggie burger. The rest of us had a 50/50 - yes, that is 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon! Wowzers. You've got to get one.
That day was exhausting, but we got him right out the next day to have brunch in the Hillcrest neighborhood at a trendy little joint called the Tractor Room - Jeff got to our table via an open wheelchair lift. I so wanted to ride up in it with him!
There are still struggles and hurdles to overcome, but Amanda is taking care of business and her trusty sidekick Joan is a huge help. Keep them all in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to make progress.
She keeps things running very smoothly - at home and when out-and-about. So, maybe we go home a little earlier and don't burn the candle at both ends - we're getting older anyway. I like being home relaxing before 10pm.
That weekend was a blast and just like every other weekend we spend with Jeff and Amanda. Let the good times roll.
