Shoot, Cheryl! He is STILL a little angel! Good thing they are so darn cute cause sometimes they will test your limit. You'll know what I'm talking about in another 10 years! LOL!

Dee, prayers sent to dad. I hope the surgery is a success and he is up soon. Prayers also for aunt Sally. I hope they can give her something to ease her pain. How far away is she from your mom? I hope they can see each other soon.

ayle Sally is 7 hours from here. It is a long drive and my dad won't be making that one any time soon. Mom will probably have to fly out and then have a one hour ride to Sally's.

Dad is doing well. Well that is yesterdays news. He is a tough guy so I am sure that today he is ok. I know that it takes a few days before you feel the pain but I was more scared of him being put under with his heart and high blood pressure. He has the same heart trouble that I have. But he did good so now I feel better. I am going to see him this afternoon.

Tonight we are celebrating Dez's birthday at the baseball game. We bought tickets to the game and dinner. Her real birthday is tomorrow but we will be getting packed up to leave for the long weekend.

Hope you all have a good day. Thanks for all the prayers. My eyes hardly have time to dry out before I cry again but you girls are a big help.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEZ! Have your mom take you shopping! :-)

Dee, I hope dad gets along ok so your mom can make the trip to see her sister. You guys have fun this weekend and enjoy "christianing" in your new little home on wheels. Wink, wink...

Dad is recovering good from his surgery. I was shocked to see him because I couldn't recognize him. He looked like an old man. His cheeks were hollow and his lips were swollen, you couldn't even see his teeth. I guess from the breathing tube. His voice was raspy too. Mom said that he looked good after the surgery but I guess the swelling hadn't taken place yet. At this point he is not feeling any pain.

Gayle you are the knotty one of the bunch....lol
Hey guess what we played against the Kansas T-bones last night. We lost to you guys by one run. It was a good game and awesome fireworks.

Des had a good time, good food, and lots of fun. I even found some spits that were candy coated....lol Never seen those before. The kids thought that they were pretty wild.

We will be leaving tomorrow morning. It is a long weekend here so won't be back til monday night. I hope that you have a good weekend.
Guess I can't count on Gayle to keep you guys on your best behavior, I will have to count on you guys to keep her in check.

Oh yeah Gayle by the way Dez sure knows how to spend our money. I can't believe that kid. She shops on the internet all the time forwarding us links to something we might just need one day. lol Hey she has gotten us a lot of good deals (the trailer included, she saved us over $4000) but she likes to spend money even if it isn't her own.

A quick note, Papa died. Funeral is tomorrow. We are heading out to the lake now and will return for the funeral. We are so sad. He is with baba now.

Dee-Prayers to you and your family.

Cheryl-Thank you for the pictures. He is such a cutie.

Janice-Good for you on the lbs. lost!

Gayle-I am wondering if a new thread should be started here. It's getting so long!

Dee, I am so, so very sorry of your loss. I knew he was older then Viv, but I didn't realize he was ill or was this sudden? Your family is really being tested right now, I honestly believe it is the strongest in their beliefs that are tested and suffer the most. God bless all of your family as they go through the difficulities ahead. {{HUGS}}

Shelley, did I send you the tornado video? The goof went right up to it when it stopped roatating. I would of been scared to death it would of started again. BTW, Dee, this wasn't the tornado that wiped out the city (Greensburg) last year. this was one substantually smaller in size & strength.

We went fishing today and came home with nothing. The guy who I purchased my license from promised me I would catch something... guess I need to go ask for a refund! LOL! I did end up with a sunburn though.

We have a graduation tomorrow out of town I'm dreading. It is for my niece and her mother, my SIL, is basically nuts. She needs to be medicated for everyones safety. I am on her "Hit list" at present, so it should be a fun experience. Please pray for me! :-)

Shelley, I think it is fine if you start a new thread, this one is getting pretty long. Did you have fun while Becky was home? How are your parents doing? Did they get their condo mess all figured out?

I hope everyone is having a decent weekend!

God bless you and your family Dee! You all have been through so much...you have my sympathy and prayers. :hug:

Gayle, I hope the graduation is uneventful you you!

Shelley, I think a new thread might be in order too. I often have a horrible time getting the pages to load here and a lot of the time I give up before I read or post, so maybe a shorter thread would help.
