AFTER VACATION

Busy,busy,busy that is what we have been since we got home and I have made so many messes. Can't seem to get any accomplishment done. One day I had cooked a pot of beans, the cords had got intangled and when I poured them up in a bowl and and started to the sink with crock pot. the cords pulled me back, knocked the bowl over and I had a large mess, Beans and bean soup everwhere. It was all down the cabinet, in the drawers, on the floor, so I am telling you We had a mess. We love beans and cornbread with lot of onion. That is a good country meal.

I have been trying to get my plants ready to bring in, but it rains, rains,rains. It is supose to be nice today, but we will be having lunch with a couple that use to go to our church, and our investor rep is supose to come over about 2:30. We was supose to see him last week, went to Hot Springs to see him, he was busy, so that was a wasted trip as far as that was, but they gave us a Outback steak house gift card. So we will see about today. Maybe I will tell him not to come today. So much to do.

We did manage to get the yards done, fall flowers taken to the cemetary,and put out in my yard. Picked up some pumpkins to set out in yard. Went to Shell Ross at Pine Bluff, they had pumpkins for 1 dollar each. That was a bargain, not perfectly shaped but who cares, they are just going to be set in the yard.

Maranda spent the weekend, we baked Cinnamon rolls. some for Tony's church fall festival and some for out chili supper. They was so good. I guess Coy and I will have one for breakfast this morning. Have coffee and cinnamon roll that will be good.

I have been going to arobics this week. That keeps the swelling out of my feet and legs. It felt so good to be back in the water. I really enjoyed Sue pool and Hot tub.

Went to my heart Dr. for a follow up on test I had before going to California. He said keep up with what you are doing, everything is good. blood pressure up a little, he said that was probably because of coming up there. Coy went to his skin Dr. He cut another skin cancer off and froze several more. They are not healing up very well.

Went to Hot Springs and ate lunch at Ryan's with Hope's Faithful, the Senior citizen group at the church. We set there and visited for a long time after we finished. I missed that this summer, we was gone so much. We have a wonderful little group.
BYE FOR NOW GOD BLESS ALL

VACATION IN REDWOODS

This is the one I started the 23, so now I will finish it.

The redwoods was absolutely breath taking. We took a lot of pictures and Nancy is making a dvd of them. We will have a get-to-gether of the Senior citizens of our church and show it. Most have not ever seen them, only read about them. It will be so good.

It was a wonderful vacation, to see the big trees again and just take in their beauty. It was so relaxing to be there in the amazement of them, how big they are. And the ferns and their beauty, so lush and large. That was the perfect time of the year to go.

We enjoyed traveling with Nancy and Larry. Nancy had a few panic attacks with the heights of the travel, but that was OK. except for her, I felt so sorry for her, but just couldn't help. Next time we will have some dramine (I don't know how to spell it, but you get the idea). I think that would have helped. Next time we will not go that route from Eureka. If I lived there I would definitely camp out in the redwoods. Maybe we would see some bears.

We spent 3 days traveling in the big trees. We had some wonderful meals and the ocean was superb and wonderful. That is my kind of life.

But we have to come back to the real World.

That was the most wonderful vacation we have had in a long time. We are already making plans for our next one next year. Looking forward to that one also.

GOD BLESS ALL AND THANKS SUE AND DAVID FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY

VACATION

Our vacation was wonderful. I dreaded it at first, something about flying just makes me nervous or anxious. Once I got on the plane it was wonderful, beautiful clear day. The mountains was so beautiful, the valleys and streams, which was really rivers, just looked like streams. I loved every minute of it. I used my handicapped card, because of my knees, I knew I could not walk a long ways from one plane to another one. At the gate they had a wheel chair waiting which was nice. Sue and David was waiting on us, the looked right past us because they was not expection us to havse a wheel chair. It was funny, we walked up and said who are you looking for.
We went and had dinner with Kenny and family, Robert and Gina and Sue and David of course. We ate at On The Border. They give you large quanities of food. It was so good to be with family. I wish it could be more ofter, but there is so many miles between us.
We got to Sue and Davids about 11:30 or 12:00' I was so tired and slept like a log. I told Sue I just wanted to relax in the pool and hot tub. That is exactly what I did. The weather was beautiful our whole trip. The pool was a little cool but I could get in and exercise. I enjoyed the SUN the most. We always had a big breakfast and Dinner. Sue is so hospitable.
I am just layed back. She is always busy, she makes me tired just watching her. She is a wonderful meal preparer. I just let her do it, I didn't know what to do.
We did get her rose garden cleaned one day. All the old roses cut out and in a few days it was full of new blooms. I love her rose garden, but she needs a sitting place with a gazebo in it. That would be so relaxing. She don't need a top so the SUN can shine on you. California sun is so different than ours. I LOVE IT. Don't I Sue.
Nancy and Larry met us here on Saturday the 3rd. We headed for the redwoods on Sunday. That give Sue a few days of rest. More later
GOD BLESS YOU
