Beautiful Sunday!

We went to 11:10 service at church today.  Had the 2nd pastor today..  I really liked the sermon, but his voice is so quiet that he's hard to hear.  After church we went to Jimmy Guana's for lunch.  We sat right by the railing, so we were able to enjoy the intercoastal!

We ran some errands after lunch and then we came home.  This evening 12 ladies played 7s from Hell while the men watched their New England Patriots get beat on the big screen!  Fun evening!

We're home!

We got in tonight about 9:30 and are we ever glad to be here.  It's been a long week!  It all started two weeks ago tomorrow when we took Dave's dad to the ER and found out that he had pneumonia.  On Friday he passed away with all of his children and their spouses, as well as his wife, by his side.  By Sunday, we were all back in Indiana to plan a funeral.  Visitation was Tuesday night, and the funeral was Wednesday.  Then the will was read yesterday and we flew out today!  What a whirlwind of a week!  We're exhausted and so glad to be back in warm Florida.   We about froze up there!  It was about 28 degrees most of the time and we had 7 full days of gray skies.  There was a bit of sunshine today, but by mid-afternoon, it was gray again.

Thank you all for your prayers and condolences.  We appreciate them all.

Saturday

Today, Dave, Don & Bev, plus Jami went to Roberta's to help her clean and clean out Maury's clothes.  They didn't get back until around 7:00.  I stayed here and cleaned our house.  I swept all of the floors, mopped Dave's bathroom, cleaned his sink, and even washed the windows on the inside of the house in the living room and kitchen.

I didn't hear a thing from Liz after Nancy showed our house today.  I wonder what the people thought  about it.  Wouldn't that be a kick in the seat if the house would sell while we're in Indiana?!  I'm ready to be here for a while!

It was a lovely day today.  They had Sanding Ovations at Treasure Island, but I didn't get to go.  We'll go next year, hopefully.  I sure hope someone posts pictures so I can see what was new this year!

Friday

Today we lost a man who was the head of the Frushour family.  Maury (Dave's dad) passed today with all 4 of his children and their spouses, and his wife, around him.  He passed peacefully, but will be missed by all of us.  Now we are heading to Indiana for a funeral.  We'll not be back in sunny Florida until after Thanksgiving.

That's all I've got to say tonight - sorry.

Wacky Wednesday and Thursday

This day started out pretty normally, but it went downhill pretty quickly.  Yesterday we found out that Dad's kidneys are not working properly, so today was more about the kidneys than it was about the lungs.  We sat in on a kidney ultrasound today.  That was interesting!  I enjoyed watching that gal work!  I learned lots.  I learned that adult kidneys are about 13 centimeters long or about 4".  I also learned that Maury's nurse is an extremely knowledgeable and extremely helpful young lady!  She is from Indiana just about an hour away from where Maury lives - it's such a small world.  Dad still needs our prayers - big time!

B & B Day

Dave went to Sarasota this morning to sit with his dad.  Maury was doing pretty well, then in Dave's words, "he just crashed."  He started breathing really fast and had a hard time getting a breath.  He's now in the ICU and resting comfortably.  Dave is staying there with him and if all is well, will come home in the morning.  The doctors think he should improve.  His blood work is good now.  Say a prayer for him.

I went to bowling - there were only 15 of us today.  I bowled awful, as did just about everyone else.  Lunch was good, though.  We went to Acropol - there were actually 20 of us there!  I think everyone enjoyed their lunch.

This afternoon, I attended a budget meeting with the Board of Directors and other committee chairpersons.  Then this evening, it was bingo as usual.  I actually won tonight.  I won one of the special games all by myself, so I got $36.50!!  I've been going for 3 weeks - I've spent $8.50/week which is $25.50 and I've won $36.50 + $5.00!  So I'm $16 to the good!  I can play again next week!!

It's pretty cold here this evening - right now it's 50.  Our house got down to 63 before I turned on the furnace.  I've got the furnace set on 69 and the little heater set on 78.  It's a whole lot warmer in here now.  Hope I sleep warm!

Wet Day

It absolutely poured here today!  Several bands of heavy rain came through with a cold front, unfortunately.  It's supposed to be cold for the next couple of days!  Dave went to Sarasota to stay with his dad at the hospital.  He said he was breathing a little better today.  He walked a little bit, but not much...he got too tired.  He was also really, really confused.  I suppose that's the IV antibiotics and the lack of oxygen.  Hopefully he'll be more improved tomorrow.

I stayed here and sorted through some paperwork, etc.  I got that all done, plus the Brighthouse tech came and gave us a new modem.  My computer is working fine, but Dave deleted a Wajam virus off of his and now he can't get hooked up to the wireless network. I don't know how to fix it, but I'll fiddle with it tomorrow afternoon.

Best news of the day - my brother got out of  the hospital this afternoon.  He is still dizzy and they don't know what is causing that.  I guess we'll be dizzy together!!

We played cards tonight and my team won big.  We didn't even have to count the last hand.  Now I'm watching my Cyclones play basketball on ESPNU.  So I won't be going to bed very early tonight!  The game just started at 9:00!
