Yes, folks, you heard it right . . . he wanted to go to eat breakfast at IHOP today, a sure sign that he is getting stronger. We went to IHOP with Brian (my brother from California) and Lauri. He ate a very good breakfast. We talked and laughed. Joe, the manager of IHOP, bought our breakfast, as he was so glad to see us. It is so nice to be loved!!
Donnie wanted to lie down after we got home, but just to rest horizontally. He continued to visit with everyone. The Geek Squad came out today for about 3 hours to set up our new home theater remotes. Donnie was inquiring and directing . . . now you know he is better! It is so good to see him have energy like that.
He ate two good meals today, including some delicious Cuban food that Linda Weihagen brought us yesterday. We had some very special visitors today. It is so wonderful to see friends and family, but it is especially nice that Donnie feels like talking and cutting up.
He continues to get birthday cards. It is so special! I think he got 200 of them. You guys ROCK!!! If he continues to be on the mend like this, he will be able to have visitors again. I thank you all for not visiting, and giving us the time that Donnie needed to recover.
Much love, Donnie & Tina

One thing I would really like to say is always that car insurance cancellation is a hated experience and if you are doing the correct things as being a driver you won’t get one. Many people do get the notice that they have been officially dropped by the insurance company and many have to fight to get more insurance after having a cancellation. Low-cost auto insurance rates usually are hard to get following a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons for auto insurance cancellation can help drivers prevent burning off one of the most vital privileges readily available. Thanks for the ideas shared via your blog.
