Scooter and Saturday stuff

This sweet boy did not like his IV one bit!  Who does?!  He kept trying to pull it out, so the nurse had to REALLY tape it up.  It’s not easy being 3 and having unwanted things stuck to the body.  He enjoyed a Coke as a treat, and his request when his parents got him to the hotel?  Mac and cheese!  Check.  He got it.  And applesauce.  Good boy.

He is doing well and will be home today.  Thanks so much for all the good thoughts and prayers!  You peeps are important to me!!!

So the goal today before dinner/marbles is to download birthday photos and do neglected paperwork.  Neither got done yesterday, because I seriously needed to get the heavy (old) TV off the guest bed before anyone larger than a wee boy could sleep on it.

Isn’t that where you store your TV?  Well, it HAD been sitting on a desk that Amy needed as a desk, rather than a TV stand, so I made MM go with me to shop for something as a replacement.  A sturdy real wood bookcase did the trick.  The bed is available again…family and friends are welcome. 

Life is good at the fun factory, y’all!  I hope yours is, too.

Sweet Scooter!

 

Can’t you see the pride in this sweet smile—I got dressed ALL by myself!  Amy, of course, let him go to school like this, being the good mommie she is, but being the smart aleck she is, she had to document this to be displayed at his wedding rehearsal dinner.  It’s the right thing to do.

But right now I ask for prayers and good thoughts for our wee snazzy dresser.  He is having his tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears this morning.  Me no likey that he has to go through this, but he will be healthier with this fix.

Thanks for the birthday wishes for Haley.  I  will get photos downloaded and posted.  You bet her hubby gave her a surprise birthday party last night!  It was a hoot.

Stay healthy everyone and have a great Friday. 

Life is short.  Smile while you still have teeth!

Happy birthday, Haley!

 

Our firstborn is having a “big” birthday today.  She is still looking mighty good…and will certainly survive the shock of entering a new decade.  Dad and I love you!!!

So today for my big welcome home I have two wee helpers (?) all day while Amy goes on a school field trip (thanks for dinner last night!).  At least the moho fridge is unloaded, and laundry is at least started.  What doesn’t get done today can wait until tomorrow.  There is no deadline to finish up…two boys are more important than chores, any day. 

Birthdays are a movable feast in our family, so Sunday will be a more convenient day to celebrate when the family can all get together.  Right?

And now, back to the regularly scheduled laundry, wiping a runny nose, and entertaining two energetic rascals.

Anyone want to join the fun? 

Wednesday stuff

These honkers were not very welcome with all their noise early this morning. The news from our knee doc was very welcome...no knee replacement needed at this time! Be careful, don't stand for long periods, etc. Check. Okey dokey.

Time to hit the road, jack. Miles and smiles, y'all! Homeward bound.

Goodbye, WPB!

 

We shall see in January just how much this tree has grown after its recent “hair cut.”  Enjoy the sunshine and freedom, old tree!  We do appreciate your shade.

MM saw the eye doc yesterday and got really good news:  his fixed eye now has 20/20 vision.  What a blessing!  He is delighted with how well he can see with it.

Yes, Haley, Dad had Both Mushroom Chicken.  It is definitely still on the menu at Shangri-La, and is still tasty.   Key limes?  We’ll see what we can find for the birthday gal.

So today finds us on the road again, heading to Albany.  Why, you ask?  Well, two reasons:  dinner with my sister Nan, and an appointment with the knee doc in the morning….a twofer.

Guess which event will be more fun?!

Lots of miles and smiles today for us.  I hope you at least have some smiles.

Monday stuff

It all of a sudden occurred to me last night that with the warm weather back in Mayberry, our hummers have probably arrived and are looking for their free lunch…and I am not there to fill up the bottles!  Shame on me.  I will be there soon, babies.  Hang on!

We introduced Bill and Barbara to Shangri-La Gourmet Chinese Restaurant last night.   Even after us being away for over 20 years, we thought it was still good.  And B&B said they would go back, so that was high praise.  And my fortune cookie contained this message: Truth seeks and finds the light of day.

What we’ll be seeing today is the git-er done deadline, with one sleep left here in Florida. 

We’ll definitely be ready to pull out in the morning.

Woohoo!!!  Mayberry, here we come!  Can you tell I’m excited?

Holy Humor

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a meter.

Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read:  "I have circled  the block 10 times.  If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment.  Forgive us our trespasses.”

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note:  "I've circled this block for 10 years.  If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job.  Lead us not into temptation."

Sounds reasonable!

May your temptations be few today, and your smiles be in abundance.

MM and I are making progress with our projects.

Only two more sleeps in sunny Paradise, y’all!
