Back home...

We're back home for a little while!  It is good to be back and on the internet.  We were in O-town and the park has internet, but the park was full so there were too many people trying to get the weak signal.  We chose instead to just use our phone data and just check email, etc.  We got about 10 tv stations so we watched the debate last night.

Thanksgiving at Bob's was fun.  We Skyped with Kaylee and Clayton and were entertained by Blaise. He has a bad cold with a fever, so he was a little more subdued.  He's quite the kid.  At one time,  he ran over to Papa Bob and his foot was under Bob's rocker...you guessed it.  Bob leaned forward and Blaise screamed.  I told Bob I thought his foot was under the chair, so Bob leaned back.  Blaise went to his mommy and she hugged him and said, "You're all right."  Blaise replied, "No I'm not!"  Pretty quick reply for a 2 1/2 year old.

Friday

We both had very productive days today.  I worked all day on paperwork and I have at least 1 more full day to go.  Dave went to Bryan's to mow, and Bryan took the afternoon off.  They didn't get the mowing done, but they did get 7 trailer loads of brush hauled to the dump.

Now we're watching the Giants-Cubs playoff game.  Let's go, Cubs!!  We leave tomorrow for Ottumwa, so I may not have wifi for a couple of days again....grrrr.

Thursday

When I got up this morning, I consciously put on something nice because I told myself I was going to talk Dave into going out for one meal.  Then  I remembered it was Thursday and that means $3 jumbo margaritas at Carlos O'Kelley's!  That's where we went this evening!

Other than that I didn't do much.  Dave did his usual work around the condo!  We've been keeping a close eye on Hurricane Matthew and praying that our family and friends will be okay.  Scary situation.

Wednesday

I had a doctor's appointment this morning.  My dexascan showed that my osteopena is getting worse, so Dr P wanted to see me to discuss treatment options.  We decided we'd wait until I get back in the spring to start a new "stronger" medicine...that way, if I have any contraindications, I'll be near the doctor so she can change the meds.

I didn't sleep well again last night.  That's two nights in a row.  Sure hope I sleep well tonight.

Tuesday

Yesterday was Bryan's birthday.  We took Bryan, Erin, and Aidan out for dinner tonight.  Then back to their place for cake.  Meanwhile, Jami and family are in a hurricane watch.  Hurricane Matthew is headed toward SE Florida.  Great!  Hope they keep watch and move out before it hits.

Monday

I worked on the computer today, trying to get pix so I could post them on Facebook.  I also got some addresses changed in anticipation of our trip south.  We're getting anxious now.  We've already got some things ready to pack in the car!!

Here's a group  pix from Saturday night's Class of 66 high school reunion.  What a fun time!!

Sunday

What a fun weekend!  We went to Fairfield on Thursday and after we got the camper set up we took off for Cantril.  We got 4 big bags of popcorn and 2 small bags.  Hope that's enough for the winter!  We eat a lot of popcorn!!  Of course, we also got some chocolate and some noodles!  Then we went back to Fairfield in time to have dinner with Sudi, Howard, Melanie and Tom.  Friday found us having lunch at the Pizza Ranch with about 20 high school friends (maybe more).  Friday night was wonderful.  The FHS class of '66 got together at the Elks for a social.  It was packed!  I think there were about 60 classmates and significant others.

Saturday was a volleyball tournament where Allison played.  She and McKenna (our cousin 3 times removed) are now on the same team so in the crowd were lots of relatives!  That was fun - plus Fairfield HS won the tournament!  I was even able to get in on part of the school tour.  Wow, has the high school ever changed!  After lunch at Taco John's (my choice) we had our showers and waited for Bob & Ann to get there to change clothes.  We played some dominoes with Ann and then got ready for the reunion.  50 years out of high school - so hard to believe.  It was sure fun seeing everyone.  I think I got to actually visit with everyone in attendance at some time during the weekend.  The entertainment was a hoot!!  Pictures are still in the camera!

We left the camper in Fairfield because we go down again next weekend for Thanksgiving at Bob's.  Since we're all gone for the REAL Thanksgiving, they're having it this next Sunday.  We'll pick up the camper and move it to O-town next weekend!
