I think I'll be a nurse!

Well, not really, but I am playing nursemaid to a friend of mine this week who came for some eye care-lasik eye surgery. She'll be with us for 10 days. I am really enjoying having her with us because before the surgery we got to play a little.




We went into town Thursday to spend the day at the spa, something she and I both enjoy! Once she had her surgery, she wasn't able to swim anymore so we had to do it the day before!




We got in all the thermal pools inside and then hit the big ones outside. The temperature was perfect, even though the sky was sort of overcast. Who is that in those Foster Grants?




This is a classic photo! In all the tourist brochure pictures of the Szecheny Baths, they always show pictures of the men playing chess right here.




This is Annette's "BEFORE" picture on the way to the eye clinic. Notice the glasses?




And this is Annette's AFTER picture. She is still wearing the sunglasses and a baseball cap today, 3 days after her surgery, and all the lights are down low at our house since her eyes are so sensitive to the light. She should be back to normal in another couple of days.




Because of her light sensitivities, she can't see the eyesore that is outside our house! May 4 is Dump Day, the day everyone in the neighborhood is supposed to take their old, broken down furniture and appliances to a designated spot. The designated spot for our neighborhood is supposed to be down the street, but for some reason, folks are dumping their stuff in front of our place which USED to be the spot!




Our Christmas cactus is confused! Besides not getting any light for the past 3 days, it is blooming for Hungarian Mother's Day rather than for Christmas!

Glenn was in Prague from Tuesday through Friday for a meeting but he's back now. He'll be home for a little over a week and then he is off to two of the K-stan countries. I'll be staying home. I've never been to those two countries but I might be able to go some other time. For the time being, I will be home and enjoying it. And hopefully, getting caught up on some projects around here. :-)

Just saying hi and loving your pictures. I now dream of someday going to the lovely spa pools, all due to your fabulous sharing!

The cactus is beautiful - even if confused.

Glad you & Annette are able to play a bit while Dad was gone.

Just got back from the dr, so check your email later for the latest pics of your grandson!
