Dueling.......

(Posted by Mary, the oldest child of the Fran May clan.)

Maribeth was sick last week and was flat out busy at work this week so I'm going to give you a summary of "The Duel" to save her time. She usually puts in funny descriptions, so I'll edit it later if she comes up with more details. Anyway, here's what happened:

Mother is out of isolation and has a roommate named Sunny, who is also sometimes mixed up like Mother. She and Mother both have trouble hearing.

The home supplies a TV for residents for a while but later, they need to bring in their own TVs. Phil and Maribeth took in a nice TV that had been in Levi's room. One day when Phil went to visit, Mother wasn't in her room - she was at therapy. The remote for Mother's TV was in Sunny's bed. Phil didn't want to cause trouble so went to the nurses' station to ask them how to handle getting Mother's remote back. I'm not sure how, but they did retrieve it. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Sunny's family brought in a TV for Sunny.

Now, when Phil and Maribeth go to visit, they often find both ladies sound asleep with both their TVs blasting at full volume. I'd call that "Dueling TVs". Don't you agree?
