Well lets see...what's been going on? the 18th I celebrated my 56th birthday. Other then that been pretty busy with Doctor's appointments and Cardiac Rehab for Mom. Life is pretty busy right now and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. Yesterday Ken and I did the grocery shopping and then went to the garden store and bought..10 Roma Tomato plants, 6 green pepper plants, 6 orange pepper plants, 11 bean plants, 4 clumps of basil and 12 marigolds. Got most of the smaller beds planted now including one by the house..we'll see how long that lasts with the dogs. Still got most of our big grow bed to plant. I got the lawn all mowed Thursday so I wouldn't have to worry about that this week end. Tomorrow Shaun, Jen1 , Ken and I are supposed to go golfing. It will only be the 2nd time this year I've gone. I pulled something in my left shoulder yesterday morning and I've practiced swinging and I don't think its going to bother me to golf. Mom, Ken and I went to an Asian Buffet last night for supper. Can't remember what its called but its at Southtown Plaza. It was pretty good. Ate to much as usual. So I guess that's it for now.

May 6th

Sunday afternoon Shaun came over and helped finish moving Nicole and Jim's stuff into their apartment...they had a hard time getting the couch in...you walk in the front door and then have to make a jog to the right to get to the stairs..the couch didn't want to jog...a broken light bulb later and up it went..Shaun said if he could get that couch up those stairs he could get a box spring up the other stairs..wellll............he did..and then I had to rebuild the wooden frame..LOL..but he was right..he got it up there. Jim says he thinks the box springs are better then before because the box springs don't squeak..Glad to have been of service. Its kind of strange them not being here but I'm glad they got their own place. Did I say anything about going to the eye doctor last Friday? Mom has some slight bleeding behind her right eye and now she has an appointment with a retina specialist May 24th. She also has cataracts but they have to take care of the bleeding first. Monday the 9th she has an appointment with her PCP. Thursday I had a doctor and dentist appointment..Doc visit went pretty good. He upped my cholesterol meds but said my glucose is looking better. He'd like me to loose another 10 lbs. Went across the street to the dentist office and at my appointed time my dental hygentist came out and called somebody else in..look at my planner..yep says I have a dentist appointment at 9:00...got an e-mail Saturday reminding me of my appointment...and I confirmed it. Went up to the receptionist and she looks on her computer and says..no your appointment is June 16th..I went home and printed out the e-mail and took it back to her...computer system messed up someplace..so I didn't get the pleasure of letting Michele dig and gouge. Stella came to play yesterday..the sweet little stinker. She had a blast playing with the big dogs and I think they enjoyed having her here. Did my laundry yesterday and hung it out. The ground was so wet it squished when I walked on it but I got it done. I did dry the towels in the house but only because my lines were full and Nicole had a few towels I wanted to be able to give her when she came to pick up Stella after work. So today I went into the computer room to look something up on the computer in there and in so doing I kicked the leg of the love seat with my baby toe..I think its fractured..it hurts so bad even hours later..I'm afraid to take my sock off. Well I guess that's it for now.. later

Happy May Day...what a busy time we've had the last couple of weeks. My baby girl turned 23..My son got married..what a wonderful wedding...it was perfect in every way. The weather cooperated and they were able to hold it outside. The food was delicious and they had a photographer that was out of this world. Sunday the 24th Nicole and James dropped Shaun and Jen off at the Amtrack train station for their 4 day honeymoon in New York City..They had a fantastic time. I picked them up Thursday afternoon at the train station and they left for Watertown because they had a few appointments Friday to get Jen's military ID and have her added to Shaun's military records..Friday Ken went to a men's retreat held by our church. It was really strange him not being here and I missed him dearly. Saturday morning I helped Jim move their bed over to the new apartment..unfortunately we couldn't get it up the stairs to the bedroom so one of two things is going to happen...either they're going to make what was going to be his office into the bedroom and what was going to be the bedroom into the office or they're going to get one of the many people who told them they've had the same problem and to just cut the box springs in half and then nail it back together to come over and show them how to do it...anyway they spent their first night in their new apartment last night..probably sleeping on their mattress and box springs on the living room floor. But they've got their own place. Yesterday Shaun,Jen #1,Ken and I went golfing...it was Shaun and Jen's Birthday present to Ken...oh wait...I forgot to tell you about Ken's Birthday...April 25th....I had bought him a new Bible a month or so ago so I didn't have to get him a present but I bought him a card and took him out to supper at Bazils..we had a wonderful supper followed by a drive to SeaBreeze and then back home. It was awesome to spend some alone time with him. Tuesday and Thursday were cardiac rehab and blood work on Thursday for Mom..oh Monday we had to go and get her vascular scans done for her Vascular Dr visit on the 2nd. Its going to be another busy week this week..Monday Vascular Dr..Tuesday and Thursday Cardiac Rehab and Thursday I have Doctor and Dentist..The lawn finally dried up enough for me to go out and pick up dog poop yesterday and my lettuce is coming up in my grow bed...things are looking up....Happy Life !!!!!!
