Lazy Days of Summer Continued

It has been another of those lazy summer weeks. Not much really happens. Today we took Dad to a birthday party for a friend of ours who is turning 80. He knows her. She goes to our church. I don't think he has it figured out yet whose birthday party it was. He asked someone else if it was a big surprise (like it was their birthday and were they surprised) but they assured him it was the other lady's birthday. That didn't make much of an impression. Oh, well, he got to socialize for a while with someone other than us and we got to go to a friend's birthday party.

Last Sunday at church a number of volunteer options were being presented. At each one he eagerly raised his hand. He was miffed when he asked me later what it was he could do at the church and I told him there weren't many options for him. He really wants to teach Sunday school, but of course, that is not even a remote option and so he was rather angry. It didn't last long. By Sunday night he had apparently forgotten his desire to do something and hasn't mentioned it again in any fashion since. That leaves the bottom line that not much has really been happening. Just a lazy week of July, hot and slow, like July should be. A bit of normalcy in his descent. Oh, and he is still happy.
