Hey There
 

My daughter tells me that Sam(dog) doesn't seem to be in pain.But his chest looks like it is splitting open. Lots of drainage. poison is just eating the flesh all around the snake bites sites. She bathes him every day. She will be taking him back to the vets today..
We may go up there on labor day weekend.
Real hot on this side of Florida..
Have a good ...Joanne

So terrible about the dog-and the ac. We got back Monday night and had a great time, in spite of 2 long days traveling. We missed our plane the first day because the first plane was late so we went from CT to Tampa to Houston to Denver.
Denver is beautiful-you see the Rockies in the distance, I coulsd never live there-everything is major highway.
Thurs we went to the engagement party-wow. Lots of people in Nigerian outfits and Nigerian food, Don't like it.Isaac jumped to his feet-he was so happy to see us. Made us feel so good,
Friday we went on a tour-saw Red Rocks, lots of scenery, and the Buffalo Bill museum and grave. It was great.
Sat was the wedding-22 attendants-lots of flower girls-all the females in red gowns. Isaac had a white tux and Funke a beautiful gown. They came in dancing =all of them -awesome. The ceremony was great-then the reception. Beautiful venue-we had a special table but we got Nigerian food again although there was American at the buffet.

Later on they changed into Nigerian outfits-sort of matching. But we left before the dancing started.
Sunday morning was a lively Thanksgiving service-we were the only white people in thew church-but not at all the other things. Then we went to the CO rr museum and up early on Monday for our flights home, We could never have survived without the gps although we got a little lost trying to get back to the car rental place. Got home late Monday. Very tired yesterday and today I am going to CT to help my daughter-Jim is away.
Bye for now. I will post a couple of pics when I download them . mima

Hey There
 

My daughter still is nursing her rotti. He was on pain pills the last time I talked to her. The areas were not healing yet. You know that snake poison just kills the flesh around the bites. The snake struck and bit 3 times. The vet cut away that bad flesh.. It is a wonder that dog is still alive.. The daughter has spent a lot of money to keep him alive. They are closer to this dog than they ever were the others.
Had another visit to the Dr. and have to go back in about another week. He will inject my shoulders again. I just wonder how much good this is doing.. They are worse than they have ever been,right now.
We have been getting a lot of rain. I hope it will slack off so I can take Christie out soon. Otherwise she will just have to get wet.
Hope everyone is doing well... Joanne

Hey There
 

Where is everybody? This is turning into a busy week. I have something that I needs to be done out of the house almost every day. There is a lot I want to do in the house.. I am trying to get my quilt started. I have a lot of left over material that I saved over time. I am making the quilt from that.. I will have to buy the backing.. and maybe some batting.Every chance I get I cut out more pieces.
We have had rain almost every day for the past few days. No rain today
My arthritis is giving me a fit.. I will see the doctor Thursday.. I sure hope I can find some relief..
Christie got a bath today.. She was not a happy camper.. She doesn't want her paws touched. I will take her to the vet and let them cut her nails.. They have enough help to get it done.. She fights me..
I hope everyone is well.. Hello ...Joanne

Happy- Yes it is hot here and will stay that way until at least the end of October. I went out to walk Christie about 8.15 this morning as I do every morning. The minute I opened the door I felt the blast of warm air.
I hope Kate is alright ,she just seemed to drop out.
Tammy- The wedding is over and now maybe you will find something new for you to do. Travel ,join a club and have some fun. I went through some down times when my kids got married and I realized that they were building their own lives and that I had to look for something else to fill my time..
Mima- I hope you are feeling better . Have your tenants moved ?
We have been receiving graduation cards from Great nieces and nephews we have never met or seen. Strange how we become aunt and uncle at that time.. Of course we send a card with a check. It seems that was the idea. Maybe I should not be so negative ,but, I find that difficult.Just venting..
Got some running around to do. Hubby said he wants a lemon pie so I need to go to the grocery and Walmart. They are turning walmart into a super store I may look there and see if I can get it all there..
