YIPPEE..... Doctors office just called and I have a script waiting for me at Sam's Club.  It is a pill and I am thinking it is even going to be a reasonably priced one.  I am so happy to give this one a try. 

Youngest son is picking up a new little doggie today and we are SO excited.  It is crazy to say, but he had to fly from Austin to Houston, then changed planes and on to Portland OR.  This doggie is coming from the same breeder that Dr. Dave's dog came from.  They are beautiful dogs...Australian Labradoodle's.  No shedding.  Hypoallergenic. Cute, cute, cute!  we are so excited for them.  This one is a male and is chocolate in color.  Lola, a girl is the one here and she is a light cream color. 

I think this will be the closest little one that I can expect from this couple! 

Have a great day.

Jenny

Patricia, believe me when I say the new BMAC is much different than the old BMAC,
your old does not even exist anymore.  https://www.google.com/search?q=sammc&tbm=isch&imgil=VfD8DtKheFgCBM%253BAAAAAAAAAAABAM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.clarkconstruction.com%25252Four-work%25252Fprojects%25252Fbrooke-army-medical-center&source=iu&pf=m&fir=VfD8DtKheFgCBM%252CAAAAAAAAAAABAM%252C_&usg=__GOUdmOsKqWXewkte3_A4OnZupB0%3D&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjX4IbmzpTPAhXs44MKHa76DfoQuqIBCHUwCg&biw=1056&bih=419&imgrc=4MR_2A_7HzOO1M

I don't know how they designed it, but inside this new hospital they have a central area that reaches to the top and it is quite as can be.  No echo's whatsoever.  All the clinic's are like going into a mall, open fronted and very attractive.  You would not believe their Mess hall.  I thought I was in a swanky cafeteria, you name it and you can find it one of the many food courts.  I have had several appointments in a couple of their clinics and I would have to say that the personnel and service exceeded any civilian clinic.  If you wonder if I was/am impressed: Yep, I am!

Lackland, Wilford Hall, is building out all new clinics, which are actually larger than the old Wilford Hall hospital.  I hope to live to see it finished and running and I want to see the old hospital implode.  I was active duty, stationed at Security Service when it opened.  Strangely, this was/is the largest Air Force hospital and took patients from all over the world, along with some well known heads of state as patients.  The Shaw of Iran was treated there for cancer.  And the wizards of smart in D.C. decided that it could be combined with BMAC and all medical personnel from all services could be trained here.  So you never know if you will have a Army/Navy/Air Force/civilian doctor.  And like I said the so called new clinics at Lackland are larger than the old hospital.  But they claim that no beds are included, hard to believe, since every recruit coming into the Air Force is trained at Lackland.  (Gateway to the Air Force).

I have rambled.

Hal, you're right in that I wouldn't recognize the place after 40 odd years!

I have an odd story to tell about my daughter's birth back in 12/12/72. I was walking to the hospital, (No cash for cabs at that time.);  when a group of guys started whistling and making come-ons as I walked by. Then one of them said, "Stop, she's PG!" to the others and then came over and asked if I was alright. I said no, I was having the baby and I swear his face whitened.

He had me sit on the curb while another one took off in his car. Soon, some MPs came up and took me to the hospital. When I wrote my husband about it, he was furious, saying they were robbers, killers or something. I replied, maybe and perhaps I was naive as he said, but those  guys went and found some MPs and waited with me until they came. I was in no shape at that time to be discriminatory.

Shirley--Just because you had R & R today,  doesn't mean you did no w--- yesterday.  You're right--these gals can be anything they want to be.

halkel--That sounds palatial. 

Angelface--I'd say those MPs were exemplary.

Bis,it's strange how our children can be raised in the same manner, and when they become adults their personalities can be the opposite. I recall that it hurt you that you could not share your new grandchild's picture with us, when Joe and his wife were so eager for allowing us all to see the changes taking place with Finlay. My Dan and Gary were raised the same way, but their personalities are directly opposite as adults. What really thrills me is that each of them married girls of the same style of life as their own. Nancy and Dori are completely suited to my sons, and yet all four of them get all famously. I feel so blessed. And I am so delighted that Joe has married a girl that has enough self-assurance that she is willing to let him attend to his mother in emergencies. Wonderful couple.

Hal, it appears that Military hospitals have really progressed from what they used to be, and that makes me happy. Our service men deserve the very best. I heard some sad tales about military hospitals years ago.

Patricia, I pray your sinus infection imporves in a hurry. I had one in my  early teens, and the doctor prescribed an asprin. My mother had the wisdom to place hot towels on my face, and everything broke loose, and I had complete relief.

June, that sounds wonderful, but I have them dried out and blocked. I swear I can feel the ones that run across the sides & back of the head and they feel sore and like rocks. I hope the dayquil and nightquil are doing their jobs as I do not want to head to a doctor and pay out cash for meds that probably won't work anyway!

I have known identical twins that were totally different in personality and manner. One set were an introvert and an extrovert while the other set were very sports minded with the other very girly and not into sweating, thank you very much!

Good Night Everyfriend!

Good Saturday morning, Everyfriend.   There's waffles and bacon to accompany your coffee or tea. I wish everyone a good day!!





The Boat Ride

I am a member of that nearly extinct generation of Americans which actually thinks it possible to enjoy a vacation without hours and hours of cable television. I believe that a lake can be fun even if you don't rent jet skis and blast around at high speed, and when I come up with a list of exciting things to do on a trip, "go to the mall" is not likely to be on it, even if they do have factory-outlet stores.

Because of my antediluvian attitude, I have forced my children to suffer through several "horrible vacations," including one just this summer in which my younger teenage daughter "almost drowned."

She didn't almost anything. I took her out in a rowboat by promising her an opportunity for one-on-one quality time with her father, during which the two of us could talk intimately about anything she wanted and then I would pay her twenty dollars.

I know it sounds as if I were bribing her to spend time with me, but in my view, she was going to get the money out of me anyway, "borrowing" it so that she could go shopping later. This loan would join all the others in a non-interest-bearing note which even Enron's accountants would have ethical trouble calling an asset.

Okay, maybe not "ethical" trouble.

At any rate, we rowed along for awhile, enjoying a silence disturbed only by the occasional gurgle when my oar dipped into the water. Then she took me up on my offer to discuss anything she had on her mind, which turned out to be
this:

"Can we go back now?"

"We've only been out for five minutes; let's drift for a bit," I suggested.

"I can't believe this boat doesn't have a motor."

"I don't mind rowing. Do you want to try it? It's a lot of fun," I offered seductively.

"No."

"I brought a rod; do you want to try to catch a fish?"

"No."

"What do you want to do?"

"Go back."

"Wouldn't you rather be out here on the lake?"

"No."

It was, I reflected, one of our more pleasant conversations.

"Dad, what's with the water?" She pointed at my feet.

I frowned. A steadily growing pool of water was forming on the bottom of the boat. As a sailor of considerable experience, I immediately recognized we were in the nautical condition known as "sinking."

"The plug fell out," I noted.

"Oh my God!" my daughter shrieked.

"Don't be afraid. We won't drown," I assured her.

"These are new shoes!"

"Just put on a life vest." I held one out to her.

She glanced at it disdainfully. "Could they pick a more hideous color?"

"I'll get us back to the dock." I began heaving on the oars, but the boat had gained considerable weight and responded sluggishly. Not wanting my daughter to panic, I decided to distract her with a question. "Well, we seem to be taking on about a gallon a minute. With every gallon, our speed slows down by about one percent. Our current rate of travel is around a foot a second, and we have a hundred yards to go. How long will it take us to get to shore?"

Her eyes bulged. "The boat is sinking and you want me to do math?

"It's an interesting problem, don't you think?"

"You're making me nauseated."

"You could take that coffee can and bail."

She gingerly picked up a rusting can. "It has dirt in it."

"Right, that's where they keep the earthworms."

She dropped the can. "Ew!"

"But if you bailed a quart of water every ten seconds..."

"If a boat were sinking an inch a minute, how long would it take my dad to realize he's a complete dork?" she wondered out loud.

We didn't sink, but by the time I got us to shore a considerable amount of lake had joined us in the boat. Our pants were soaked, and my daughter couldn't wait to tell her siblings that in the midst of drowning, I insisted on torturing her with algebra.

Also, her shoes were "ruined," so the twenty dollars I gave her would go toward a replacement pair.

She borrowed the rest.



Gone Fishing
(By Kirk Cameron)

For years, I have been witnessing on camera (for "The Way of the Master" television program) to hundreds on the streets, in malls, in shopping centers, on planes, and in taxis. I've preached to thousands in churches, universities, and outreaches, but I've never had the courage to find a "fishing hole" in my own neighborhood and go there on a regular basis.

I decided it was time. I scouted out my territory and asked the local police station where teenagers hung out on a Saturday night. The "Westlake Promenade" (a local outdoor shopping center) turned out to be perfect--hundreds of high schoolers with nothing to do but stand around and hope for something exciting to happen.

It was a Friday night, 9:30pm. I loaded up with tracts and went out alone. I was very nervous. No cameras, no help, no encouragement from my friends. I got talking to a group of junior high kids and brought out the "Light Show" followed by a few trivia questions for them to win a bit of Christmas cash ($1 for each correct answer). As I swung to the subject of God, a little Indian Buddhist girl stepped forward and said "So this is what you do now? You give people money so they'll stand here so you can brainwash them?!" I felt sick. She might as well have said "You're pathetic. I used to like you on TV, but not anymore because you're bribing people to listen to your religious garbage." I swallowed my pride for about 10 more minutes before I packed it in and went home, licking my wounds. I felt terrible, as my fears got the best of me that night.

I was determined not to be defeated by a shrimpy little girl, so I went back the next night. Ray offered to come with me. This time it was electric! Totally different and incredibly effective. I learned so much that night about being bold, unashamed, and straight forward in my approach. It made all the difference. About 20 teenagers soaked up everything we had to say, took our literature, and thanked us for talking with them about eternity. I left with evangelistic goose bumps.

The next weekend I was back. Alone again. Shared the gospel with about 15 more high schoolers getting out of a movie. They loved it--Million Dollar Bills, trivia, and the Million Dollar Question: "Do you consider yourself to be a good person?" Great debates, spirited conversations, took them through the Law to the cross and they all took some "Save Yourself Some Pain" booklets! I left clicking my heels with gratitude for the seeds sown that night.

The next weekend I returned to the same spot with my pastor. In my car we read Spurgeon's evening devotional:

...Jesus died for sinners, cannot we live for them? Where is our tenderness? Where our love to Christ, if we seek not His honour in the salvation of men? O that the Lord would saturate us through and through with an undying zeal for the souls of men.

Thoroughly inspired, we talked to one group in the parking lot, two groups in front of the theatre, and then... I panicked. In the distance I could see that little Indian Buddhist girl standing on a bench in front of her friends. I ducked behind a tree, but it was too late. She spotted me, ran up and threw her arms around me and yelled in a mocking voice, "Oh Kirk Cameron, where's my free Bible? I want a free Bible!" After shaking off this little distraction (obviously a demonic dart to discourage me again), Johnny and I shared with another group and prayed with a young man to receive the Lord.

I am so thankful for the encouragement I've received to press on, get back into the game, and never give up for the sake of the lost. I've now found my own local fishing hole and I plan to be there every weekend I'm in town. How about you? Do you have an hour to spare one night a week for the sake of the lost in your neighborhood? Find out where the fish congregate and go to them. May God bless you and help you bring in a big one as you faithfully serve Him.



If we spread the Gospel, Jesus will spread the salvation!

Good morning everyone.
warmer here this morning with a temp of 50°.

Laundry day and I hope to hang it out although they are calling to t storms, will have to wait till it gets light out to see if yes or no . A trip to the dump to take all the raspberry canes, I even tried to give them away but no one wanted them! I just wish I had a larger garden but then that is more to look after.

Talked with the repair shop re: my fridge/freezer and I may have left the bottom open just a crack and that was why it froze up , seems fine now and I cleaned out the fridge part and washed everything down so I hope that was the problem.

Jenny, I love puppies and puppy breath!! Hope you can post photos of this little one.

June, I am so happy that you get such good care there...but I do think your what I would call an easy keeper

Shirley, like you I too would stay away if I have my nose in a good book. or putting a puzzle together but those days are long gone now.

Gloria, I put my applesauce is sealers and it keeps very well. Just sterilize the sealers and put the hot applesauce in and seal.

Joan, thank you for breakfast.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good Morning Everyfriend!

Good morning, Amy.  I know you were happy to find out the problem with your fridge/freezer wasn't going to cost you a big repair bill.

Janie--Good morning.

Good morning everyone, it was another good sleeping night, cool as the one before but with the humidity down and no noisy AC or fan running it was AOK.

HAL  I am not looking for back surgery either but would like to ease what stops me from standing upright again and being able to lesson the pain.

JOAN  I am enjoying these cooler days and nights. Feels good to have more than a sheet covering me a night.

JUNE  lately it seems to get later every morning before I finally dress up for the day. Have my fleece robe on in these cool morning and it is warm and comfy.

JENNY  I am still trying to learn the iPhone I have and not interested in a new one. I saw on TV how fast the new ones sold out.

PATRICIA  I have started a book that I just cannot put down and have been up all night to finish it. Other times a book will not catch my interest that much so it is easy to put down and pick up the next time I feel like reading.

SHIRLEY  my daughter always wanted to be a teacher but a counselor in her senior year in High School told her she would not be good at it. She always had good marks and was on the honor roll all through school. She did end up teaching at the school where she started as yard duty. She was picked by the principal for a new program to teach those having trouble with reading. She was telling me a couple of days ago that she went to the school with a few things she wanted to donate and she was telling me that when the kids saw her they went running to her and asking if she was coming back. They did not care for her replacement, said she hollers all the time.  Made her feel good to know the kids missed her.

JENNY  hope the new med helps and you have no adverse reactions.

HAL  wow that BMAC is a huge place. I would not want to try finding my way around in there.

JOAN  love waffles and who can say no to bacon? The Boat Ride had me laughing. Just like most kids these days,  they rather go to a mall instead of enjoying nature. Thank you for all today's goodies.

AMY  I no longer have canning jars and it is easier for me to freeze the applesauce I make.

JANE good morning.

Good morning, Gloria.  How nice to have it so cool for sleeping w/o having to use a/c.  Thanks for your words of appreciation.

Hi everyone on a beautiful and clear South Carolina Saturday morning.  It is a very pleasant 72 degrees, or was when I was outside watering my plants.  We are suppose to get to only the mid 80's today. 

I had an enjoyable and laid back day yesterday and the car didn't leave the garage.  As far as I know now that will be the same today.  I got my desk cleared away yesterday so will have a light schedule for the football Saturday.

Shirley, I expect more and more people will decide to go with the HD TV Antenna and cut out the expensive cable.  Glad you are satisfied with your decision to switch.  We are not ready to do that yet and doubt that we will as Pat spends a lot of time watching the Hallmark channels and I enjoy the variety of sports available although could watch them on my iPad or iPhone.

Hal, it sounds like we both had similar days yesterday with not being pushed to make appointment and having to so somewhere.  I looked at the pictures and enjoyed your descriptions of the military clinics and hospitals. 

Jenny, I heard yesterday that the iPhone 7's were sold out and even some who pre-ordered will have a delay as the demand was so great.  Apple has sold over 1 billion iPhone since it came out.  I will not be upgrading to the iPhone 7 but do have the new operating system downloaded to my iPhone 6.  I don't normally fall asleep when reading but sure can listening to audiobooks and see that Patricia has the same experience with the audiobooks.  I spend about as much time backing them up to something I remember as I do listening to new parts. Glad you heard from your doctor before you start your trip.  I hope the pill does the job and is reasonable in price. 

Joan, most sons hold mother's in a special place in their hearts.  I am glad that Joe can be there for you when you need him.   

June, I agree that our service men and women do deserve the best care and our deepest regards for their service. 

Gloria, what a nice compliment for your daughter in that the kids would like to see her come back to teach.

I hope all will have a nice weekend.

Good morning, Larry.  I am sure it seems good to have a couple days when you can stay home.  I'll have to "channel chase" today and tomorrow to find something to watch other than football.  Joe, Kate and Finlay flew to Boston this weekend to go to some baseball and football games--I forget which ones.

Good Afternoon,  Everyone... 

Have any of you done research on the
the HD TV Antennas  ....   If so,  which one (s)
do you recommend?   

I am always considering opting out of cable tv,
so I just may get myself preparred to do so. 
Sure would save me a lot of money each year/month.

Thanks for your recommendation.

Sandy

Good morning, Sandy.  Sorry but I haven't looked into HD TV Antennas.

My son sells and services TV and has done so most of his life.  As soon as he was big enough to hold up his end of a TV or appliance for delivery, he's worked at the store.  He now owns and runs the business himself.  I asked him if one of those antennas would work for me and his answer was an unequivocal "NO".  Our reception on antenna in this area was never good and I'm assuming that we would not get good reception on any type of antenna.  I did ask him later if they would work other places.  He said they probably would but we would have the same interference that we always did with antenna....mountains and distance from any broadcast stations.

I'm not sitting here and putting myself forth as an expert on the subject and if you choose not to read this or not to believe it, that's your business.  I'm telling you what I was told. Take or not...as you wish!

Janie--Thanks for the information.

Good Morning all, This is starting out to be a rather unusual day as far as my mind is concerned. It does not want to wake up   . I have the urge to go back to bed and just let the world pass by. Instead I have poured another cup of coffee and made a slice of toast.

Janie, I wish you well this day. I feel something is bothering you, and I pray God is giving you all that is needed to carry on and do what you have to do. You are not alone. We all love you.

Gloria, this is one of those days where I don't care if I dress or not. Nothing outside my door is that important. I am home, I am secure, I am not ill, I suffer no pain, God is Good. So I will just go with the flow. I do wish your back pain could be controlled. A constant nagging pain can really drag one down. I am keeping you in my prayers. Regina was like a second mother to most of those children Gloria, and a good substitute Mother she was. She spent many hours with them and caring for them.

Larry, I am so happy that you are having a few days of relaxation at home. You have earned it, for sure.

I have nothing on the docket for today,unless I decide to go down for a program at 6:30 this evening. I may just make my bed and lie down on it to read and sleep. Sounds just right to me

My son in New Jersey informed me those antennae being advertised on TV come in several models and strengths, and the distance from the transmitter is important.  The least expensive apparently is supposed to reach something like 20 miles, but although he is only 10 miles from the transmitter he had to work up to a 40 mile antenna, somewhat more expensive, in order to get service.  But once he got the proper size everything is fine and still much, much less expensive than cable. 

Sandy, I think/thought what I bought is/are HD (ended up with 4 for different TVs although someone brighter than I am would know how to make one antenna work for all) .....  If you want any of the "talk" type shows, I don't get them here.  I love having Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis Murder & all the old westerns, plus Gilligan's Island, etc.. and the local channels including PBS.  I get news & whatever shows carried by CBS, NBC & ABC so have not missed sports or political talk shows. 

Check with people in your zip code to see what they get, I'm happy with mine & am surprised & delighted in various weather conditions, to be surfing & find a show I wasn't looking for (like a movie).  I did have to buy a new tape recorder since mine was so old & not digital or HD..... the kid (younger than 70) at Sam's convinced me to get the one I did, said his wife installed theirs.  When my son checked it out AFTER I bought, all of his retired engineer friends said this is what they got but there is one (brand in my RV) that is a tad better.  Since I wanted more than one TV attached I thought I got a good deal with the "2-pack" and can't tell the difference between the larger (supposed to pull in from more miles) than the smaller.  I even brought a wooden drape rod up from storage thinking it would be nice to attach to that & be able to turn.... the PBS station comes from a different angle than most of the others.  But I never followed up trying since I found it wasn't as tall as the ceiling & I didn't have any way to hold it up.  Would have been nice to have a large umbrella holder to stand it in but got rid of that long ago.   

A lot depends on your area, what comes in..... comes with little "push pins" to attach to the wall and cord to reach to the TV, plugs in where you take the cable plug out.  I did discover last time at the lake camping that I did not get near as many channels at the water level as I did when camping on the higher part of the campground other times.   

Larry, one reason I was disgusted with cable was they put the Hallmark channel on a different level to charge extra.  We did have the "higher tier" package & had golf, sports.... but after Cas died I dropped sports & was still $75-$85 per month with having package TV, internet & phones.  Think I have my numbers wrong because I was paying over $175 per month & was going up again.   I now pay about $60 for phones & internet.  I have unlimited but not the fastest.  Tried the fastest but couldn't tell the difference since my computers are so over full & slow.  Phone service comes with everything & unlimited long distance so satisfied with my choices.  I rarely just sit & watch TV, am either cooking, eating, doing house work, ironing or on the computer.... have one on most of the time for background noise, just enough sound that breaking news will get my attention.  In the RV or house if nothing worth watching, I can put a DVD movie or shows (daughter gave me a set of Murder She Wrote).... RV has 2 TVs & DVD players but only the one in the house so have to stay in one room for that.

Jane, you are so right about mountain interference!  Forgot to mention that when in CO I don't get ANY radio or TV.  That's why I did advise to check with someone in the same area to see what works.  When I'm in MO the Ozark Mts are not so tall and I am about 75 miles from KC and 100+ from St.Louis & can get them in, their strongest, I guess. Your son is right to know your area.  My son loaned his extra antenna to a friend living in the country to see if they could get anything.... sadly, so many times his friends neglect to return what they borrow.  He put one in his attic.... something special and I'm not about to switch 'cause I don't care that much about doing all the different things he can with his.  Like you, I don't know what I'm talking about, just what works for me!!!   

June--Guess you are just having a stay home day.

Jeanne Lee--All this info boggles my mind.

Shirley--As I told Jeanne, I don't see any need to change what I have when I don't understand it all.  I pay $169/mo. for cable TV, phone and internet.  No choices here--my provider is only one servicing this area.

Good afternoon on this beautiful cool Saturday.  Thursday went to Red Hat luncheon out in Greenport, near the end of the Island.  We eat in the Soundview Rest. and it was clear enough to see over to Conn. Over 50 attened.  We had ice crepes. covered in strawberries.

Gloria it was very cool here last night also, infact I got up and got another cover for the bed

Jenny, glad you were able to get a call back from the doctor, and got your pills.  Have a nice trip.

I am waiting for Jennnie to come out to day, she is the one who use to do my house cleaning.  We are invited across the street for the last cookout for the season.  I hope I can make it as my back and legs are really hurting, by nightfall I am in bad shape.

I guess I will have to stay with cable, as I am over 100 miles from NYC, could get come Conn. station I guess.  Like joan, really no choise.

The way I'm tucked into the foothills of the mountains, I figure I'm best with cable.

I have not, by choice, had a television since 1997. I tried trials of Hulu and Netflix but ended them early when I realized I wasn't even interested in the trials.

I don't have any idea of cable costs here, but I used to brag that everything was free on the computer. And now the networks have gotten wise and began to charge for their shows. If I only wanted to watch one or two shows and do not want a TV or computer TV hookup, why in the heck would I pay $9.99 a month for CBS, NBC, or ABC?

All I need do is catch the computer news, and they run the highlights there. I have never watched any reality show, but why are they even featured and considered newsworthy? At the hairdressers' I saw a magazine saying the Kardashians' show was canceled and their empire crumbling. I was so happy until I realized it was a gossip rag!

Alaska is very high in everything. I pay $73.03 monthly for the internet alone.  I do have a midrange speed.

Welllll, out here in the flatland we can almost shout from one hump in the ground to 'nuther.   

Joan, we do have other choices, my best friend & #1 son used one that started out being good service but son got disgusted with prices going up & up and friend doesn't have a clue what it costs 'cause "her husband pays the bills".  A few neighbors use "the Dish" or whatever that's called.... must like it or they'd change.  One of those times of "whatever floats your boat" (where did I hear that??)  We all make choices of what we are willing to spend on, and I do spend~

For what my cable cost after Cas died, no golf or sports, no Hallmark or movie channels... just the basics, I now get more of what I like for nothing.  Patricia, I never tried Hulu or Netflix & start my day with radio.  I've never watched any of those reality shows much less the Kardashians, and if those political talk people were half as smart as they think they are, they'd be rich & not need to work for a living. 

I feel a nap coming on..... had a lot of cat company last night, door open so they checked on me until I closed it about 4:00 am.   Y'all behave, you hear? 

Linedancer--It's nice you can get to Red Hats.  Enjoy the cookout.

Jeanne Lee--For now I am sticking with cable.

Angelface--Having a TV is another "whatever floats your boat".

Shirley--Just as long as you are satisfied with what you have.  I already had my 1/2 hour nap.

Joanie, is that sink hole cave in going to affect your water.  What a terrible thing to happen.

A good Saturday HELLO to EVERYFRIEND.

BEAUTIFUL day here in the Mile High City.  Football is on so hubby is in seventh heaven.  I have been on the iPhone most of the morning watching my new little Granddoggie winging his way across the sky.  We are using DUO and it is crazy that Brian can be on a flight showing me a live picture of lil' Oliver.  He has been a perfect flyer....wakes up and wiggles a little, then back to sleep.  They have less than 30 minutes left so they have it made. 

Last night we were watching him in the hotel room as he played by a mirror on the floor level.. He was having the best time.  Oh my, we will not get to see him for a month.  Can not wait! 

THANK YOU, JOAN.  LOVED your goodies today.  Hope Joe and Family have a fun weekend.  My oldest is at the Notre Dam Game today in So. Bend, IN. 

GLORIA de, so happy to read you were able to go and enjoy your Red Hat outing.  Will start the new pills tonight...sure hope they do a good job and agree with me.😊

GLORIA & LARRY, Bob is still using a 4S iPhone, so is really due for a new one.  The price of them is just ridiculous.  Had to believe that many people have a extra grand just hanging around, isn't it?  Thank you both for your comments regarding the new med....I will start it tonight....sure hope it works well.  The price sure is right...$4. for a month supply and when I do it by mail order it will probably be free!  Sure is a switch from the "new" Meds she wants me to take for $400. a month through mail order. 

AMY, the plane has landed safely so Oliver and daddy will be headed home.  He sure did well on the flight....I, too, love puppy breath.  I can not wait to see him....he is a chocolate brown with the softest hair.....love him and I haven't even seen him yet.  We will go to Austin in a month and will take care of him for a few days as mama and daddy have to go away. 

HAL, I saw that sink hole on the news last night...YIKES!

Hope you made it safely to Indy, MARYANN.  ENJOY.

WHERE ARE YOU, JACKIE. 

Enjoy your day, EVERYFRIEND. 

Jenny
