W 8-1 : Our month started with our grand-dog coming to stay with us for almost two weeks. He was happy to come over and he was such a good boy. He likes to be here but he was really glad to go home more. He loves his family so much and misses them when he doesn't see them.
Th 8-2 : Lauren went to the doctor and her concussion was healing nicely and she was starting to feel better. She still had some headache and memory problems but most of it was better. She spent the night and Papa made yummy chicken and dumplins. He is a better cook than I every was.
F 8-3 : Our grandson, Joshua, turned 14 today. He is #9 grandbaby. He is so smart and so handsome and we love him so much! Talked to him on his birthday and they went to a trampoline gym place and his friend broke his collar bone or something like that. I am so glad Josh didn't get hurt! He had a good birthday it sounds like!
Dr. Chun called to see how I was doing with my breathing, blood sugar and blood pressure. I think I am doing somewhat better. My blood pressure hasn't changed. I check these things every day. I am doing better with my blood sugars though.
S 8-4: Didn't do much at all on Saturday. Just chilled and watched "Hell on Wheels" on Netflix. It is a good show and we are hooked. Lauren went to a Mariner's game with her friend Daisy and others.
Su 8-5: Another lazy day. The bridge is closed so much and there are accidents so much around here that weekends are not fun to go anywhere. We don't drive any distance any more. Lanny has some health issues he doesn't talk about too much. Driving is hard for him on his vision (he takes eye drops every night and sees a specialist), his hips, back, and knees etc... This is one of the main reason we don't go to Odessa, Don and Lois's, softball games at any distance, or Forks. Kevon does the driving to graduations for us in Odessa. Lanny finally knows his limitations and is being more careful with his driving and of course his work around here. When he mows he takes breaks. He doesn't get things done because he can't by himself. He won't even be changing the oil in the vehicles and our wonderful son-in-law, Brad, is going to do it. Got rid of the trailer because we couldn't use it anymore. We don't go camping. At 69 years old he is slowing down. Getting out of the recliner isn't even that easy. But he keeps on going because "if you don't use it you lose it" he says.
This day is also my nephew Justins' birthday. He still seems like a baby boy to me but he has two kids of his own and a beautiful wife now and served as a Marine in the Middle East. So he isn't a baby boy, but I will never forget when he was and he spent a lot of time visiting our home!
Today was also National Sisters Day! I have 2 sisters who mean everything to me, who I grew up with, we had the same parents and siblings and pets and neighborhoods. We have been there for one another, loved and fought with each other, laughed and cried together and for each other. I love my sisters.
M 8-6: Today I picked up Madi and then we went to Lauren's to pick up her and Annika!!!! Annika and Lauren have been friends for years!!!! She moved to Texas with her family and they try to see each other every summer when her dad comes up for visit and to see family. To see them together makes me smile because it is like they are never apart... they have that kind of friendship. I didn't take a picture of them but they did. They didn't send it to me though.
They wanted to go to the thrift store so I took them to Goodwill. They got a few things. Then we went to Wendy's and got Frosty's and fries. It was pretty hot out so that really helped cool us off. It was a good day!
T 8-7: Tara's 45th birthday!!!! Can't believe it!!!! She was just a little girl. Like everyone else I wonder where the time went. It seems like the other day I was 30.
Sounds like she had a pretty good birthday! We called her and wished her a happy bday. She worked and went out with her kids.
Madi and Lauren came over and spent the day with me. Papa made them breakfast. Madi loves papa's breakfast. Bacon, hard fried eggs, hash browns and mini pancakes with chocolate milk. (Lauren has scrambled eggs, toast instead of pancakes). The we watch scary ghost shows during the day. It was a good day. Lauren slept some with her dog.
W 8-8: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BRAD AND TARA!
F 8-10 : Andrew did his last dump run. That was about all that happened that day. Papa made him a bacon sandwich he really liked. nummmm!
S 8-11: Chilled all day. Big day tomorrow. Fires in the Hamma Hamma region that make me sad. So dry and hot.
SU 8-12: Lauren came over early. Ended up sleeping in Papa's chair until he took her to Band Camp. She was so excited to go! She looks forward to it! Hopefully she won't get hurt like at church camp. So far I heard she got sunburned but that is expected marching outside for 6 hours in the heat. I hope she is getting a lot of water!!!
Drove to Jordy's bridal shower. It was so good to see her. She looked beautiful! It was a real nice time with interesting games. I actually won the game of picking how many kisses were in a jar. I said 125 and there were 137! So I did win a jar of kisses I can't eat. lol! Here are some pictures taken but I didn't take any...
After the shower I stopped at Amanda's for a party for Aaron. Bill and Judie were there so it was fun visiting with them and Mark and Kristi! Karla was there and Brad. A few other couples I didn't know. Manda made lumpia and pancit! Good food as usual. Papa came late after dropping Lauren off at camp.
M 8-13: Took Madi to the school for her Athletic Medicine class that was to go all day. After 1/2 a day there she decided she didn't have the time to take the class all year because of all her other classes and activities she will be doing in her Sophomore year. She enjoyed it last year and will probably miss it.
Manda and Andrew came and got Mac. He was so excited to see them and go home with them he didn't even take time to say goodbye. Silly dog!
Riley passed her drivers test!!!!
T 8-14: Shopping on the Internet today. Ordered my dress for Jo's wedding, ordered cat food and toys from Chewy. Also some Flea Busters through Amazon. I find good deals on the Internet. That was about it for Tuesday.
W 8-15: Papa took Scruffy to the groomers to get his nails cut. I went and picked up Madi and we went to Red Robin for lunch. I had fish and chips and chowder. Madi had a milkshake and chicken strips with hot sauce and fries. Good food and the waiter was awesome! After we left there we went to Ross's. Madi tried on a couple jumpsuits and picked one to buy. It is really cute. It was so hot and muggy out! Then I took Madi to her mom's work. She had another acupuncture appointment.
TH 8-16: Papa made an amazing steak dinner tonight. He went and bought new black tennis shoes. He really likes them!!!
Well, I am caught up! Hope you enjoyed this update! Have a great rest of the month!
