Day 209 - Normal days

We got back from Georgia on Sunday the 9th. Since then I have mown the yard 4 times, to get it to the right height, weeded all those monstors that grew while we were gone, and killed the ones around our flagstone path. Work is slow, but that's OK, I get to use the Vette on sunny days.

Adele is on track and having "fun" making up for lost time. She has seen the eye doctor, dentist, family doctor, gyn, had a mamogram and treated at the foot doctor for another ingrown toenail. We had an interesting talk last week, as she was crying about having to see all of these doctors. My take on it was, "Be happy that you can go see alll of these doctors, without having to take antibiotics first. You are OK now and should be happy you can do this."

She got a laugh out of that, thinking about it and realizing that I was probably right - one of the only times in my life!

We visited with our other grandchildren (Tom & Shannon's) before they went to Maine - yes in the same cabins we always used. I fixed their PC and they were happy to be able to email again, especially since the motel reservation was in the email. Talked with Tom last night, and he said it was high 80's to 90 degrees in Bar Harbour, so they did not escape the heat.

Not much more, other than normal life, going on around here.

Thanks - Rick

Day 196 - also our 39th Anniversary

Today is Adele and my 39th wedding anniversary and we are enjoying it in Augusta, GA with Julie, Eric & Ruby Rose. Last Thursday was Adele's 6 month full checkup and she passed with flying colors!

She had blood tests, bone marrow extraction, a cat scan and got probed by a nurse practitioner and a doctor. Everything was great, the cat scan showed no active sign of lymphoma!

We left Friday for GA and arrived here Sat around noon. We used Adele's new Malibu to come down with 31 + mpg the result. Love the way it handles in traffic and the OnStar is a plus, along with our trial of XM/Sirus satellite radio. 50's, 60's and jazz the whole way down without worries of losing the signal.

Today Ruby is at the day care. She is a really active little girl and we needed to take a rest day or two, we are only grandparents and getting older, not younger. She is such a sweet little girl and busily crawling all over the place, chattering as she goes!

Thanks for listening - Rick - edited by Adele
