Finally it has decided to be Spring here. Days have been warm and up in the 60's and nights are staying in the 40's. Everything is turning green and all the nasty white stuff is gone!! And of course that means the mosquitoes and other buggies are starting their yearly pursuit of dinner....meaning that all of us are now on the buffet table. Man I need to call my Avon Lady soon and get that order in for Skin So Soft before it's all gone. Wendy has been out front cleaning up the planters. She has the Mole Momma and her babies, the frogs and the Swans all in their places now. Mike is in charge of the yards so he has had the kids out there picking up twigs while he mows. In a few days I am sure Wendy will get the garden boxes ready for the tomatoes and the cukes and the zucchini and all the other stuff she has growing on the porch. Looks like a busy growing and canning/freezing season is just about upon us.
This week our little Mikey lost his first tooth. He is so proud and is going around showing everyone his missing tooth spot. Of course the Tooth Fairy showed up and took his tooth and left money in it's place. Awesome deal. I wonder if she will bring me anything when I go get this tooth pulled and my new bottom dentures made. Bet she's in another country when that happens.
Here's his toothless little mouth for all of you to see too!!
Last night it was getting to be bedtime and everyone was starting to get settled in for the night when we heard a thump and then a pop and then everything went dark!! It seems that some dumb ass with his tractor out in the middle of the night crashed into the power pole. Took out the whole neighborhood. Wendy went out to see how bad it was and when she went to turn around in this man's driveway a few hundred yards up the road from us she almost ran over power lines that were down in his drive. Mallory totally freaked out!! She was really scared. She screamed and cried every time her parents left my room. The boys thought it was great fun. Mike went out and got the generator from the shop and set it up. When he ran the cords in the house I was able to hook up my plug strip. And of course being a computer nerd, I set up the laptop and they all came in my room and we watched Nemo. Finally around midnight and with two little ones asleep they all went upstairs and off to bed. The power came on at about 2 so I got my oxygen plugged back onto the condenser. But the tanks were still on the floor next to me. Good thing too because the power went off again around 5. I just plugged into the tank and went back to sleep. By the time I got up this morning the power was back on and I was back on the condenser. And the kids had been in here and snagged one of the netbooks to go upstairs and play computer on. But the good thing was that gave Mom and Dad a chance to sleep in til 9. Wow.
I am doing OK health wise right now. In fact I should be good til August or September now as far a colds and illnesses. Dialysis has been going OK these past few weeks. I am having trouble with the fistula and have had to get needle poked three or four times before they finally get them in a place that doesn't blow out or infiltrate. My arm has been really painful for that reason. My doctor is finally back from maternity leave so I will get in to see her in the next couple of weeks for meds check and just a general checkup. God I'm glad she's back. It is so hard to try and explain to another doctor what is wrong when she knows....a lot of the time she knows just by looking at me. I guess when I an gray and quiet she gets all the hint she needs. Most of the time that isn't me.
OK time to get this posted for you. Mike is making Gyros for dinner so I have to go weight in on the pronunciation gyro or yuro. Makes no difference to me how you say it cause I say his are awesome!!!
Love to you all. Remember those who gave their all so you could sit around tomorrow with a shrimp on the barbie and a beer in your hand.
Hugzz.....R
