Upcoming Holiday Weekend




Well, Scott came last evening..a day earlier then he thought. Our small church group went out to John and Leslie's to fish and have smores. John took us on a long ride in his prairie schooner first. Only nine showed up. Cyndi and Jeff intended to come but Cyndi went out to their Jefferson house to take some pictures and was attacked and bitten by a pit bulldog. They took her to the emergency room and then called me. I went and spent the day waiting for them to work her into the surgery schedule. The dog got hold of her left heel and ripped it in three or four places. The surgeon cleaned it up and then loosely stitched it up. They are fearful of infection and do not want to trap the infection in the heel. I left when they took her to x-ray after she came out of recovery.

She called last night to talk to me. She was in quite a bit of pain but is allergic to all types of pain meds. The only one they could give her was just for three days because it often damages the kidneys if it is taken longer.

Then Marilyn called yesterday afternoon to say they would not be able to come. Their little grandson had something bite him in their back yard and his eye swelled and they took him to the doctor for some type of steroid. Then Sue's guests also had a medical emergency. Strange...everything happens at once.

I got an e-mail from our older son yesterday with photo's of their new place. It too looks very nice. He lives in Phoenix so we don't see much of him. He is great about calling though and keeps in touch real well. I will try to post a photo of his new home and yard. The photo at the top is our evening party last night at John and Leslie's home.

Today, our niece called. They had got as far as twenty miles north of Neodesha and their car quit on them. I went up to pick them up. Then when we got home, we went to El Publito and had lunch. This afternoon, I have read some and started dinner. I put a roast in a slow cooker with a potato and some carrots and we had that for dinner. I had some apple brown betty with a scoop of ice cream. Neither Scott nor Bob had any. Scott is trying to watch his weight and Bob has diabetes. (Scott decided to have some after all)

We will watch a video this evening and go to Owasso tomorrow to shop around to mainly kill some time.

Gosh Margie, so many things happening to people. I am scared to death of pit bulls. I have heard about so many of them attacking people. Is that you in the jean jacket in the picture? You look like a little girl!
