Today I felt rather lost. It seems just overwhelming sometimes.

Dick had a bad night with his back but the rest of the day has been pretty good and I believe that we are over the hurdle. We even went to Chuck and Sue's (a bar - used to be Dale's Bar almost forever) in Sheboygan Falls for Randy's 50th birthday party. I ate cake and was it ever good. It was a nice party. Saw a lot of relatives and several friends that I had not seen for quite some time. Randy was really surprised. Just think, my baby brother is 50. He got a great t shirt that said "Fifty in Dog years is dead."

Dick and I went to the house on Hunters Glen and swept out the garage. That should be the last major thing that we have to do there. I sure hope so. I am just too tired to keep up two houses. Hope it sells quickly. I sent for a St. Joseph house selling kit. Don't know if it will work but we must use evey means possible.

Tomorrow, Bobbie and Bill are coming over and Bobbie will help us put things in place. I hope we can find some more of the garage floor.

Be good to yourself.

Love

Mary

Here it is 9:33PM and I am TIRED. I got my hunting stuff all put away in the cabinet today.

This noon, I went over to the Dairy Queen for lunch with my bank friends. And this evening, I went out to Rhine to shoot pistol league. Didn't do TOO well but with the aching in my arm didn't do too badly either.

I talked to Barb tonight and also my step grandson, Timothy. He is such a pleasure to talk to. Such a caring pleasant young man. He is in his last year of college before graduate school. He is majoring in psychology and should be very good at it as he is a caring personable person. I like him and am proud to have gotten him in the package along with Bart's wife Barbara who is a real treasure.

Bart is much better. I don't know if I told you but he had a med imbalance problem recently and that is always distressful. With his constant back pain, keeping the meds in balance is always a challange.

This has been quite a week. Dick's back, Bill's heart, Bart's meds and Jim's flu. Michelle and I were wondering what we could get on the open market for used damaged mates. Yuck Yuck.

We had turkey breast and fried rice for supper along with leftover green beans and salads.

Tomorrow we will go and clean the garage at Hunters Glen. That should be the last BIG chore there. Now if we can just get the place sold. We need some family like ours that has someone like Jim go downstairs and go OOOOOHHHH!

Remember - Maya Angelou said that "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will NEVER forget how you make them feel."

Everybody has feelings. Let's try to be gentle with each other. We don't know what is in the heart.

Still not in a routine. I forgot last night. OOPS>

Will update tonight but wanted to say HI to any of my regulars. I heard from ONE of you so know my first Tall Grass posting went online.

Dick is now 20 months with his blood count within the save perameters. He is the talk of the clinic as this never ever happens. His nurse is delighted.

Have a great Friday.

Love

I am trying to send. We got hooked up on Monday BUT were unable to send anything out. I hope this appears.

The move went fairly smoothly. We are able to function. The kitchen is coming together nicely. And the bedroom, bathrooms and living room are functional.

I went to church at 10:30AM on Sunday and then right out to Rhine to work the bar. It was so slow that Doc told Bobbie and me to leave at about 2:00. I was just as glad as there is SO much to do here. Bobbie was bit late with rather distressing news. Bill had been experiencing some pain in his chest that was spreading to his elbows. He finally consented to be taken to ER and they had admitted him for tests. Monday night they took him to St. Lukes and yesterday put a stint in. These are fairly minor procedures (though, of course, not when it is being done to someone that WE love) and he was sent home the same day. I called this evening and he is doing fine. He has been told to quit smoking and is chewing gum like crazy. I hope he doesn't have the trouble I used to and bite the inside of his cheek or lip as he frantically chews.

Monday the carpet cleaners did the Hunters Glen house and today the guys came and took all the stuff that will be auctioned. The house is clean and empty. We are having two showings tomorrow. Pray that all goes well and that the house sells quickly now.

I am SO tired. Hopefully, next week will be a week that I won't have to be packing, unpacking or cleaning two homes.

My kitties are doing quite well at Bobbie and Bill's house. They are eating and "talking". I miss them. As soon as possible, I want to bring them here.

track a cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where
she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to
their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens
wandering around our country. Maybe we should give them all a cow.

Hope I am BACK. Did you miss me.
