I was right...I didn't leave my house ONE time today. It's just so miserable out there. I made a big crock pot full of chili and Kevin made corn bread to go with it. It was so good! I ate too much, though. I've been doing really well, lately, so I let myself have today to cheat a bit. Still, I didn't do as bad as I used to on weekends.
Monica was invited to spend the night at a friends house, so when Kevin drove her over there, Natalie went with them. They called to let me know that the two of them were going to run some errands while they were out and the truck was warmed up. The got a prescription filled, then headed to WalMart.
As they passed the assortment of cut flowers, Natalie had an idea. She asked if he thought any of the people in the hospital (they passed it on the way to the store) would like to have some flowers. She wondered if there was anyone who hadn't had a visitor in a while. Kevin let her run with the idea, and they bought two small bouquets.
At the hospital, they went up in the elevator and found a nurses station. The nurse got tears in her eyes when they told here the mission, and she recommended two older ladies, both of whom were feeling really down. They couldn't visit with one of them because she was in isolation, but they visited the other. She was so sad and saying that she just wanted to go home.
She really appreciated the flowers and the visit. The nurse said that in all of her time there, she'd never had that happen! Leave it to my big-hearted daughter. That's just how her brain works.
Me? I'm glad you asked. I was sitting on the couch watching 30 Biggest Celebrity Feuds or something...under a blanket. *sigh* Maybe I should take a lesson from her.

Without a doubt, that is the sweetest, most considerate thing I have heard in a long time. Be proud, Rachel. You all have done a fabulous job with Natalie.
Karma is going to pay her back in a huge way.
