Healing a Broken Heart

Today we spent the whole day with Betty.  She's doing well and her sense of humor is intact, but her heart is broken.  Phil was a part of her life for about 50% of her life.  They had a wonderful life together and losing him has not, and will not, be easy.

We picked Betty up this morning for brunch (we had a little breakfast at our hotel earlier) at Le Peep.  While we were having our brunch, William (the driver for the senior-living place where Betty lives) called.  Seems that somehow a deposit he made for Betty last week got into his account and not Betty's.  Betty checked her account online and the money was not there.  William checked his account and there was more money in his account that he expected.  He came over to Le Peep and they went to Chase Bank together to straighten it out.

From there we went to J. C. Penney, then Betty's nail place, then Cracker Barrel.  We found the salt and pepper shakers that we had seen at another Cracker Barrel store and in the colors that we wanted.  From there we went to Fashion Square and walked around. BTW:  We went into Saks and I saw a purse that I liked, for $2,800+.  If I spend $2,800 + for a handbag, call the men in the white coats and get me committed!

Had dinner at Maggianos, and even though the three of us shared only two dinners and a large salad and one dessert, we were all stuffed.  Betty took home the leftovers and then two fresh entrees "for tomorrow" as they bill it.

Betty thanked us for making a tough time a little easier.

We are so glad that we came now when we could spend quality time with her.

Tomorrow we will start for home if it looks as if the highways are clear.  We may have to get the boots out of the trunk!
