Day 42

This morning we got up early and went with my Aunt Betty to learn how to make sugar cane syrup. The place was way out in the country and the folks making the syrup were so nice and hospitable. It is a family tradition and truly amazing how the process works. Every Saturday in the month of November they get together to make the syrup.
It was truly a wonderful experience and the children had a ton of fun!
My Grandfather is doing better and actually got to come home today. He has to wear a defibrillator and also has a stint in his artery. He will no longer be able to drive and he is not very happy to say the least! I’m really worried about him cause he has always been so independent. He is not going to fare very well I’m afraid. I pray for the best, but he is stubborn to a fault.
Another day of no workouts and a less than the perfect diet!
