Random thoughts & catching up!

Hello Family, Friends & Guest,

Well they say "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."  In that case, I got me a 6 lane highway going right that way.   Way back on May 27 th, I had decided to write in this blog at least once per week, well here in my next entry on August 6 th.   Shame on me.

The good news, I am not going to try to catch this up, but rather just do highlights, otherwise you would be so tired of reading,.

The bad news, my back is still broke and keeping down a lot.  I had a MRI on Thursday and I will see Dr. Howlin and get the result on Monday the 8th.,

I can do about an hours worth or pushing it 2 hours worth of activity a day.  Not at one time but through out the day but then I am exhausted.

I did get to the Lake for a Visit.  I did get to Judy & Bill for a day long visit with extra oxygen and got in the pool.  I have been to the Valley Ranch pool a couple of times per week.  I can't swim, but I can walk it and float on the steps.  Katherine joined me at the pool a couple of times and Lori takes me.
This picture is of the Robards pool.  We had such a grand time.

Ray has been able to get in a little fishing with Frank.  They catch and return just for fun.  It gets him a little time out of here.

I have a hospital bed in the livingroom.  Helps with my frame of mind and I don't have to spend all my time in the bedroom.

Jason and his family moved into their new house this week.  I am hoping to go see it with furniture etc today or tomorrow.  Jillian and Sophie are growing like weeds, same for Owen and Kate.  We can really see a difference in Owen and Kate's personalities this summer.  I will post pictures next time and I wast to post one of each. Jillian in taken a couple of steps.  She is 8 months old already.  Time just flies by.

Ray and I are having a memory history done.  It will be about an hour on tape and will answer some questions the kids might have and provide maybe a couple of nuggets of advice like Where Sunscreen.

This is short but sweet and has now gotten me back on the horse so watch for more soon and more ofter from here on.

Be Well and may God Bless you till we meet again.

Ray is learning to cook a little which has been fun to watch.  This week he made pork chops on the grill twice.  and they were good too.

Next weekend is Dexter Daze and I will be buying some more Fairy Doors.  I'm excited.
