New Years Eve…
Dave and I have had a good 2010 and I feel that we will also have a good 2011… Josh came to spend the day with us… We will spend a quiet evening at home. We are watching “Wild Hog”… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

It sure doesn’t seem like December here in Piedmont, Oklahoma. It was 71 degrees today… I made a phone call to AT&T and complained about the phone calls coming in the middle of the night since we got U-Verse. The caller ID shows it is a call from our number and of course when we answer no one is there. Hopefully it is taken care of now and won’t happen again… I have been going through boxes of Christmas stuff and seeing what I can get rid of. We hang on to too much stuff. We got an ornament box. I am trying to get organized... I went to chat and fixed lunch and supper… David called and I called Larry Rose in Arkansas... I am watching a beautiful sunset tonight... Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

When I finished chatting this afternoon, Dave and I went to town to do some shopping. It seems everyone had the same idea as we did. The stores were crazy and so messy… We picked up Colonel Sander’s chicken for supper. By the time we finished our shopping there was no way I felt like cooking… Going now to put away groceries and get ready to watch a football game. Go OSU!!! Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Happy Birthday Lucy!!! Lucy is Dave’s sister… I slept all night and didn’t wake up till after 11:00. In fact Dave and the dogs slept that late too… I have felt good today and got quite a bit accomplished… Brenda, the nurse’s aide came to see me. She helped me change the sheets on our bed and hang some pictures I got for Christmas… I chatted with my online friends. It was sure great to see Frank from England in chat. He recently spent five days in the hospital. I am missing Jeanne in the chat room. She and friend Maggie are cruising in New Zealand and Australia… I fixed pizza for supper and Brender, the nurse had a piece with us… Dave took our Christmas tree down… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Marcia, the physical therapist came and discharged me today… I ran the dust mop, did two loads of laundry, chatted with DASNI friends, helped clean the refrigerator, and helped fix supper… I didn’t sleep well last night, phone call at 1:30 this morning and no one was on the other end. I wasn’t able to get back to sleep. I took a short nap this afternoon and I am hoping I can sleep tonight… Our nephew Bill called... Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Happy Birthday Jennifer!!! Jennifer is our granddaughter in Lexington, Oklahoma
I had a horrible night last night. I was awake all night and I am blaming the steroids I am taking and to think I only have two days down out of ten. At least I think I am not coughing as much now… Charlene, the nurse came to see me and gave me a Vitamin B/12 shot. She said I should take a sleeping pill tonight so I can get some sleep and be ready for our family gathering tomorrow night. I will for sure take a sleeping pill… Dave and I got the sugar cookie dough ready and it is in the refrigerator for tomorrow. It is a family tradition that I started back when the boys were very small. We use the same cookie recipe and same cookie cutters. Tomorrow all the grandkids and great grandkids will join in cutting and decorating cookies and David will be there rolling out the dough… I made a spinach quiche for supper and it was really good. It had been a long time since I have made one… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

Thank you Karen for leaving me a comment. Merry Christmas to you!... This morning Dave and I went to the dentist to get out teeth cleaned. Neither of us had any cavities.

She is the only Aunt I have left. All my Uncles are gone… Kenny stopped by after work… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

First day of winter… After taking three days off without doing anything. My worked had piled up on me… I did two loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, and chatted with friends, and fixed lunch and supper. I had to ask Dave to help me finish up supper. I got tired and my back was hurting… Called the doctor to let him know I still was coughing and not getting better. He called in another prescription for steroids. Dave went and picked them up and I will start them in morning so I can sleep tonight… The physical therapist and the nurse’s aide came to see me… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

I am feeling puny today. Last night I was sick with a terrific headache and vomiting. It lasted all night long. I was thinking it was something that I ate but Dave and I had the same thing to eat and he didn’t get sick. Anyhow I was so sick that I thought I was going to see Jesus… It got up to 76 degrees today. We broke a record… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

I sure hope this extra medicine will help me feel better… I got my nails done, went to the credit union, grocery store, and then back to pick up our dogs.

Josh came this morning to spend the day with us… Dave had to make a trip to the doctor’s office and then to Tinker Air Force Base Pharmacy and Commissary… I stayed home because Brenda the aide was coming to visit me… I unloaded the dishwasher and reloaded it. That is about all I got done. I am still not feeling good and not sleeping well either. Josh says it sounds like I am coughing up a lung. It does sound bad… We had a high of 70 degrees today but that isn’t going last… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

This morning physical therapy was here early to give me the ultra sound treatments. My back and neck are feeling much better… I ran the dust mop, fixed lunch, chatted with my DASNI friends, and then we went shopping for our Christmas present at Harry’s TV and
Appliance. They were having their Christmas party today. Santa and Mrs. Santa were there. Egg Nog, spiced cider, cookies, and popcorn. Plus they were giving away houseplants and calendars. Dave and I found the perfect Sony Television for our bedroom. The one we had in there was a twenty some year old Pioneer 50 inch rear projection screen. We kept waiting on it to quit but it never did but the picture wasn’t as good as we were wanting. Dave is hooking up our new one now while I fix supper… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma

This morning I woke up feeling pretty congested. Just when I thought I was doing better… Dave and I went and got groomed today. That made us feel better and we look better too… I fixed lunch and chatted online with friends… Not much accomplished today. Dave is fixing his Spam Supreme for supper… Lori called… Goodnight All… Keeping The Faith In Oklahoma
