January 29, 2014 (Wednesday)

I am so sorry that I have not kept up with this blog as I should, but we have had a few distractions.  I will try to do better, for the few that follow this.  :-)

I just wish I could figure out why I can't post pictures anymore.  I will try to work on that matter.

Hope that everyone is doing well. 

We are now back on the road and in Las Cruces, NM and heading to Silver City, NM tomorrow.

Take care and I will be back soon.

Hi,

Well, I am only a couple of days late.....................

so here goes: 

January 12, 2014(Sunday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 46 degrees (a.m.) 71 degrees (high)
This morning we stopped and picked up some donuts, and took them to Laura’s. We all went to church at Flower Mound UMC, and then came home.  The plumber came by Laura’s house to fix the closet doors that they broke while working on the plumbing before Christmas.  We relaxed most of the day, and then we went to Red Hot and Blue BBQ for dinner.

January 13, 2014(Monday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 51 degrees (a.m.) 61 degrees (high)
This morning we went to Laura’s. Laura and I ran some errands, and then later in the day we went to have her blood drawn.  Dave & I went to Wal-Mart. Dave did some shopping, and I got a haircut; boy, was it time.  J  

January 14, 2014(Tuesday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 36 degrees (a.m.) 63 degrees (high)
This morning, I defrosted the refrigerator before leaving for Laura’s.  I did some laundry, and went with Laura to Wal-Mart and some other places looking for a Medic Alert Bracelet (to let emergency personnel know that she is on blood thinners).  Bobby delivered some of the sectional couch that Tim and Laura are buying from him (maybe). Several of us were having problems with allergies from the cat hair on the couch (even though we vacuumed it real good), so Laura sprayed it with Febreze Allergy.  We will see how Matthew (especially) does with it over the next few days.

January 15, 2014(Wednesday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 35 degrees (a.m.) 56 degrees (high) 
Today was a day for having blood drawn, and later they called Laura and told her to stay on the 8.5 mg of Coumadin.  I worked on the computer for a little while trying to catch up some things.  Later, we cleaned in the house a little before the Realtor comes tomorrow to give Tim and Laura some pointers on what to do and not do before putting the house up for sale.

January 16, 2014(Thursday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 37 degrees (a.m.) 65 degrees (high) 
I did some laundry and then went with Laura and Matthew to the dentist for Matthew’s appointment.  Later in the day, the Realtor came and looked around. Just a quiet day for all of us.

January 17, 2014(Friday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 44 degrees (a.m.) 57 degrees (high) 
This morning we drove to Laura’s, and I stayed there. Dave drove to Bobby’s house to work on some things. Tim and Laura went to the hospital for her MRA. Later in the afternoon, Laura and I went to Texas Oncology for her blood to be tested.  It was 2.2 today so they told her to stay on the same dosage.  Dave came back, and then we all went to Red Robin (they were so crowded), so we went to Chili’s instead for dinner. After dinner, we came on home and they went home.  
 
January 18, 2014(Saturday: Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 40 degrees (a.m.) 67 degrees (high) 
This morning we went to Laura’s, and then Dave went on to Bobby’s house to work on some more things. Laura said she was sick, and throwing up last night; not sure what made her sick.  I changed the bed sheets and did some laundry.  Tim and Alyson went to work, and Matthew went to spend the night with his friend.  Laura is just resting, she still gets tired very easy.

Well, that is our week; hope your week has been good. Dave & I are here for support and doing what we can.  Thank you all for your prayers for Laura.
 
 
So until the next time………………………….

Keep A Song In Your Heart.

Hi everyone,

Hope this last week has been kind to you and that your New Year has gotten off to a great start and that you always keep God the center of your life.  Here is what we have been doing:

January 5, 2014(Sunday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 31 degrees (a.m.) 37 degrees (high)
This morning we met Tim, Laura, Alyson & Matthew at church (Flower Mound UMC) for the 9:30 a.m. service.  Then we went to lunch at Culver’s and then came home and Laura rested a little while and then Laura, Dave & I went to IKEA and then came back to the house.  I wanted to watch “Downton Abbey” but it would have been too late for us to stay at Laura’s and we don’t get local channels at the RV. I will have catch up later.

January 6, 2014(Monday): Lewisville Lake CG - Lewisville, TX – 17 degrees (a.m.) 30 degrees (high)
This morning the temperature was 17 (feels like 4 - now that is COLD) then we drove to Laura’s and Dave fixed breakfast for who wanted breakfast.  Laura and I left to go to the doctor’s office so Laura could have her blood drawn and tested to see what her Coumadin level is so she will know how much medication to take this evening.  I talked to Betty Jo (my sister) for her birthday today.  

January 7, 2014(Tuesday): Lewisville Lake CG - Lewisville, TX – 25 degrees (a.m.) 47 degrees (high)
This morning the temperature was 25 (feels like 16) then we drove to Laura’s and I did some laundry. I drove Laura to the bank and then to the “Nothing bundt cakes” (oh my, the little cakes are so wonderful).  We came home and relaxed and worked on the computer.  When we went home this evening we found that the water at the spigot was frozen, later it thawed out and we had water again.  Bobby called and said he had to head to Houston early in the morning and wanted to know if we could come and take Haley to school by 7:30 a.m.

January 8, 2014(Wednesday): Lewisville Lake CG - Lewisville, TX – 41 degrees (a.m.) 46 degrees (high)
This morning we left early to go to Bobby’s and pick up Haley and take her to school.  Then we drove to Denton to go to the Camping World to pick up a few things we needed.  Then we went to Laura’s and Dave and Laura went to the grocery store.  Later in the afternoon I took Laura to see the hematologist so she could get an appointment for her next MRI to see if the blood clot is gone and to have her Coumadin levels.

January 9, 2014(Thursday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 42 degrees (a.m.) 52 degrees (high)
Today we drove to Laura’s and Dave fixed breakfast for who wanted to have breakfast and later, Laura and I drove to Grapevine, TX to meet my classmate, Sharon, from WV, at the Olive Garden.  Sharon and I had a great time catching up and before we knew it we had been there over 2 /12 hours, so happy that Laura was able to join us (probably wasn’t much fun for her J).  Laura and I ran some errands on our way home.  Dave & I drove back to the campground to take care of dumping in the RV and then went back to Laura’s and we started taking her Christmas tree down and storing the items so they will be ready for their move later this year.

January 10, 2014(Friday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 53 degrees (a.m.) 66 degrees (high)
This morning we drove to Laura’s for a little while and then Dave & I drove to Southlake, TX so I could have my mammogram done and Laura went to lunch with a friend of hers and then to have her blood tested.  I did some laundry and then Dave, Tim, Laura & I went to Outback for dinner (we had a gift card that we had to use because it was dated), then we went home and I got some things caught up on at the RV.

January11, 2014(Saturday): Lewisville Lake CG – Lewisville, TX – 42 degrees (a.m.) 66 degrees (high)
This morning we went to Laura’s and Dave fixed breakfast and I did some laundry.  Tim had the Scouts in the garage building their Pinewood Derby cars.  Laura & I worked in the house cleaning up a little.  Dave worked on the computer for a while.  Tim and Alyson went to work and I cleaned up the kitchen a little and then we went home.



Well, that about does it for us, praying that this week will be a good week for everyone.
