Donna is back

Donna is back!  Thank heavens!  The world is back to normal.
Mom, Donna and Ailene were sitting at the dinner table.
Ailene said that Donna had come back at lunch.  Jacquie didn't join us for dinner.
Mom had already consumed her milk and juice.  She doesn't really like the tea with milk.
We had herbed chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and Brussels sprouts.  Bread pudding for dessert.  Yum.  Mom ate everything.  We shared an orange and mom took a banana.
After dinner we went back to the room.  While mom was using the toilet I asked Donna about her visit with her sister.  Donna said they went out for roast beef dinner.  She said her brother-in-law did some strange things like eat off other people's plates.  She said they stayed up late socializing with visitors.  She had a very nice time, but now she was tired.
While Donna was using the toilet, mom and I went through her photo book.  Mom smiled a lot.  Sometimes she could recognize herself, sometimes she couldn't, but she always enjoys looking at the photos.
We went to join the others in the television room.  They were all watching the news.  Shanta was sitting between her son and his wife.
At 6 o'clock we started to play card bingo.  Michael won 3 times.  Donna and Anna won 2 times each.  We played for about 45 minutes.  We all had a nice time.
Mom can recognize suits, but she doesn't seem to pay attention to the number.  In fact, she doesn't recognize a face card.  Then she tried to take the card from me instead of flipping her card over.  It's okay, the others help her.
