We did our last running around with brooke. She wanted to be sure to get to the Cookie Factory in Hicksville for their Rainbow Cookies and Black & White Cookies. They're her favorite and you can't buy them in FL. We ended up driving to Guintas for the Rainbow cookies because they were fresher looking and more for the $.

Brooke left to go back to FL at 7:30 tonight. The Yankee game was canceled because of the rain. She was really disappointed because she wanted to watch the game on the tv while flying home. I guess the food channel will be on now!

Alyssa went to the Dr. today. Her back seems to be doing good. He said that the epidural usually lasts for 9 months to a year. By that time, her disk should have healed and she'd be as good as new. She needs to go to a few therapy visits to strengthen her back though.

We went to visit Grandpa (my father). He was happy to see everyone but that was about it. He continued to read the newspaper as we chatted with Ann. Typical!
