Happy Belated Birthday Helen!!! Helen is a classmate in Marietta, Georgia… The wind has been blowing 40 mph. I went out for a short time and almost got blown away… Dave had an appointment with the eye doctor today so they could check the tumor in his eye. The doctor said there was blood inside the tumor and told him to come off all blood thinners and aspirin. He will check him again in three months… The yellow Irises are blooming and Dave picked me a bouquet of them for the house… I fixed lunch, did laundry, chatted with friends in the DASNI chat room, played dominoes, and fixed a spaghetti supper… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

We are back, after a long weekend at the Last Chance camp ground… I had a great time fishing and catching fish. The wind was bad the whole time we were there but it didn’t stop me… On Sunday we went to Lori’s Grandma’s for her 89th birthday dinner. We were camping not far from their home. She is an amazing lady and we all love her… We got home last night and I got the laundry all done then fried the fish that I caught. Dave didn’t have much luck fishing. He caught a few but they weren’t large enough to keep and a turtle kept eating his worms… On our way home we stopped in Chandler to visit Lori’s Dad and Stepmother… I fixed supper, folded laundry, and made some hummingbird nectar. I haven’t seen any hummers but Kenny and Kathy said they had… I went to check on the garden and picked some radishes. The cucumbers, zucchini, and squash are coming up… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Another busy day for me. I did laundry, fixed lunch and supper, cleaned the kitchen, and chatted with my DASNI friends… I walked to the mailbox in the rain. It has rained most of the day… David called. Josh came down to pick up the Betta, he will take care of it while we are away… Dave is preparing for his colon scope tomorrow. Poor guy… This will be my last entry for a few days. But I will be back… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

I have been busy today picking up around the house and getting it straightened up. I chatted with my DASNI friend in the chat room at http://alzheimers.ning.com/chatroom.php … Dave and I have both been loading up the motor home for our fishing trip. We aren’t going far, we can’t afford to… Dave cut the grass for the first time… I went to the garden and picked and ate the first radish and lettuce. They were yummy… Tonight I watched American Idol and Dancing With the Stars... Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

I pulled weeds, supervised Dave as he planted the tomatoes and pepper plants then I went up and visited with Kenny and Kathy. I tried to supervise them also. Kathy finished planting all the seeds in the garden. So now we just wait till our vegetables are ready to be picked. I can’t wait. We should have plenty for us and to share with the neighbors… I folded laundry that was left in the dryer, fixed lunch, and helped fix supper… Tonight I popped some corn and am watching the Halmark movie “Sweet Nothings in My Ear” … Goodnight All… Keeping the Faith In Oklahoma

I have had a busy day. Kathy drove me to the doctor’s office early this morning so I could get the Reclast IV injection, it is a once a year IV for the bones. The nurse stuck me twice and was ready to try and stick me again when I told her that my daughter-in-law was a nurse and worked at the heart hospital and she was in the waiting room could she try. So they got Kathy and Kathy got it in the first try. I have really bad veins. We were there for about an hour then we left there and went to Red Lobster for a wonderful lunch. Kathy and I both love Red Lobster and it had been years since we had gone there. From there we made a trip to Norman to see Erin who is at home on strict bedrest for two weeks and is really bored. We had a nice visit with her. Erin looked great and I finally was able to see the baby’s nursery. It is so neat and everything matches… When we got home I was so tired. I started a load of laundry and laid down for awhile to rest. I even dozed off for a few minutes… After supper I finished up the laundry and rode the bike… Our brother-in-law in North Carolina has cancer and is having a really hard time right now. Please pray for Dewey and his family… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Please take care of yourself… I did laundry and later after chat we went to town to pick up some groceries… We had to call the alarm guy out because our system quit working and found it had a bad battery. It cost us 75.00 for a service call… I called George and the Alzheimer’s Assn. in Tulsa. Dave and I plan on going to their conference in June… Kenny and Kathy came down and ate mushrooms with us… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma
