Are we done yet?

 Far Guy has a follow up appointment with the surgeon today. Will his drain be removed…will they take out the staples…will they have the pathology report? 

We plan to head home to the woods after his appointment and my book club meeting. We are packing up “stuff” to take back home.  (Yarn, books, craft supplies, extra meds and devices)We will be back for a oncology appointment in about 12 days. Good thing they kinda like us here. 

I finished the puzzle with Jen’s help.

It was terribly windy yesterday, we sat outside a bit but did not wood carve.  No we are not done with the wood carved Christmas ornaments yet. 

Supper was eggs, pulled pork and tater crowns.

Sadie

 Sadie is a good friend. She lets us pet and scratch her as much as we want.  

She lays outside when we wood carve and her beautiful coat gets full of wood chips.

She likes to bark at the dogs next door Nova a Black Lab, and the two little dogs one of which is a tripod and Trixie.  

She listens quite well to me and when she barks I call her to come and she does without hesitation. 

This week the big pool was covered up so leaves don’t fall into the water. She still has a small wading pool to lay down in…of course that is not the same as a good swim. 

It was another nice day in Minnesota high was in the 70’s and we had a nice breeze. 

Far Guy is feeling pretty good, he is recovering from the surgery better than either of us expected. He has an appetite and he takes nothing for pain.

What to do?

 I ran out of yarn. Let me rephrase that I didn’t bring enough yarn with me.  Problem solved as there are two stores that carry yarn here in town.

I like doing the shell stitch, it is easy to do when watching tv. I brought the pink with me and not sure why I only brought one ball.  The blue is the new purchase..same stitch but a little bit larger crochet hook.  Both will be added to my stash of finished blankets.

We had a good day. Far Guy and I went to Wally World and walked around…I needed som new fuzzy socks…I just hate it when the elastic goes bad and the socks slip down my feet. There were a few other things picked up also …all on sale. 

It was a very warm day the high according to our vehicle was 86F. 

We had salad for supper topped with chicken and bacon…pineapple rounded out the meal.

Goodbye September

Busy days

 Puzzles, crocheting, woodcarving, enjoying time outside sitting in the sunshine and going out for lunch with Jen, Andy, my other baby brother and she who sees robins first who stopped by to check on us on their way back from Western North Dakota. Oh yes and going for a ride in the 1976 Corvette.  What a nice ride! AND petting Sadie..of course that is a great activity!

Far Guy is gaining strength and his appetite, now keeping him from overdoing is a concern.  He had a very nice nap after all the activity!

Little kids

 We spent some time with the Greats and three of the Grands yesterday. All are doing well. 

The little Greats stayed when their parents went to a wedding.  They really liven up the place!

The Greats watching tv with their favorite Uncle Andy. Sadie is supervising.

This little munchkin Baby K was watching me instead of tv…and I received a number of smiles.  Peach reminds me often that it is her baby and not mine. 

Far Guy had a fair day, he still has some pain and has to watch it so he doesn’t use his left arm very much.

Andy made supper for us and the Greats …hamburgers on the grill and French fries…perfect food for the kids and the elderly!

The weather was beautiful with the high around 70 F.
