Tomorrow we are invited back for ham and beans. Oh goody, something else to look forward too… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

It felt so good to stay in bed this morning. After breakfast I watched a movie”The Searchers.” It brought back some memories. I can remember when I was working at the Roxy Theater in Peru, Indiana in 1956 and “The Searchers” was playing. I can still see it on the marque. Working at the theater was my first job, I was sixteen. Then from there I worked in a nursing home for a few years and then on to work in the hospital when I graduated from high school. I worked there until we were transferred to another base and then after I had our second son I went to work at a hospital in Champaign, Illiniois until we moved again. Then for several years I was a stay at home Mom doing babysitting for others because Dave was spending a lot of time traveling overseas. Later after the boys graduated from highschool, I got my day care license and opened up a day care for infants. That was what I was doing when I received my diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and the doctor said I should give up my job… Today Kenny asked me to ride to the Heart Hospital where Kathy works. It is a very nice hospital… Lori called and she is coming to stay with me while Dave and David watch the fights on pay-per-view at Kenny and Kathy’s. Lori and I will have pop corn and watch a movie… I was windy tonight, huh?… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

I had to get up early again this morning because the maids were coming. They usually come early and I didn’t want them to catch me in bed. Tocay they didn’t come till late afternoon… I stripped the bed, did laundry, hosted chat, and deleted a bunch of emails… It has seemed like Saturday all day to me… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

She had her gallbladder removed last week… I finally remembered to call and make an appointment with Dr. Barreto. I will see her on February 4… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

We had another beautiful day in the upper 50’s… I hosted chat, watched the cows across the highway, took care of the houseplants, and got on my scooter and went outside for about 45 minutes.
