Hey all,
I am so happy. Mom made a decision to wait for dad's memorial service until I come home. So far everyone I have spoke with are pleased as well. It will allow many of his friends and family from other states to set the time up to get here. Now I do not have to worry about not being there.
Buddy made it safely to Jacksonville. He arrived 30 minutes earlier than scheduled and we were at Mayo when they called. So we hurried through our business and drove like fiends to the airport. When we entered the cargo area there was Buddy standing up on top of the counter. They let him out of his kennel, took him for a walk and then gave him the run of the office. When we first walked in, he stopped and stared at us as if we were a ghost. Then he jumped off the counter and came running up to us. I think he was relieved that we were there.
Poor guy he is very needy right now and the first two days we did not leave him at all. Then Sunday we went to church and left him alone. When we got back we could see him through the window and he was sitting on the dinning table waiting for us. He was so happy to see us. Steve disinfected the table top. Apparently he did not think it was so cute. Buddy is finally beginning to settle down some.
We went for a walk and took Buddy to the Jacksonville Beach. He liked walking in the water but then the waves chased him back. He'll get use to it.
Things are pretty dull around here. I made some no salt pickles today. I haven't tried them yet but I
have my doubts about whether they will be able to replace "real" pickles. We will see. Yesterday I made
salsa out of some fresh tomatoes. I put one pepper in and it is spicy hot.
Tonight I was having leg cramps like usual, so I went walking around the pond. Then decided that I would put a bathing suit on and just jump in the spa. Who cares who sees my funny body. (My dad said I look like a toothpick with an olive on it.) Its a great description too. Anyway it was fabulous so then I went swimming. Oh it was heaven! Of course it was 11:00 pm, and no one was out there.
Actually I am feeling fine. I just have to nap a couple times a day then I am good to go. I enjoy cooking and am eating better, but alas no weight gain. I walk a lot and work out every other day in the gym. So things are looking up. I am very anxious to get that magic phone call, especially before my meld score starts to fall.
Well, it is late so I'll let you go. Please remember your prayers for us and I love comments.
Be with God.
Steve & Steph
