We got over our jet lag after a few days, and John finished his employee evaluation so we started coming out of the fog last weekend. The first few days we were home were rainy, which was just perfect. We\u2019ve seen David and Alison, of course, and Cousin Julie dropped by with a sweet birthday gift for me (wine and wine glasses, thank you!) &#8211; we celebrated both my birthday and Mother\u2019s Day in Fayetteville with John\u2019s parents. It was a beautiful drive &#8211; everything is so lush and green. We had lunch one day with the Stokers at a new Tex-Mex place. David and Allie had us over for a yummy dinner last night, and we were delighted to see PeeWee &#8211; the first time an opera star has sung happy birthday to me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve done some shopping and we\u2019ve watched some TV. We also joined a gym, so we\u2019ve been going there in the mornings, too. Life is good! We watched \u201cThe Dropout,\u201d about the rise and fall of the bio-med company Theranos, which we enjoyed. And we loved \u201cAnatomy of a Scandal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flavia loves the condo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/E8623EA6-3CF5-47BD-A2DA-FE0BCEE69186.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6651\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/E8623EA6-3CF5-47BD-A2DA-FE0BCEE69186.jpeg 240w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/E8623EA6-3CF5-47BD-A2DA-FE0BCEE69186-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was able to have cataract surgery on Thursday with the fabulous Dr. Hester in Little Rock, and I can\u2019t believe the difference it makes.
