Another day in Indiana

I wish I could have a more interesting blog like all of you girls, but when you get old, it's just one day after another. However, I must tell you that the strawberries are blooming and I actually got out there and cut back the rasberries. So it won't be long until we get to enjoy the bounty. And I've planted a bunch of asparagas. And I have to tell you that Papa did something for me that I never expected. He got the Major League Baseball package so we (I) can watch all the baseball I want. I can see all of the Rockies, and the Cardinals and the Cubs, and whoever else I want. I fanticised about doing fantasy baseball, when low and behold my son called today and said that he and Steve are trying to get a family and friends league going. I've never done it before, but heck, I'll try anything once. Now I have a great excuse to watch all the baseball I want. And, if I'm busy, I can always TEVO it. So you all have a great Easter because Jesus is alive and well...Praise God.

His majesty on his throne

lumpy's chairs

Lumpy has his favorite chairs. He loves to sew. But most of the time he just thinks about it.

Recovery

I guess I'd better get a blog written. We have been busy and bored at the same time....Does that make sense. The thumb is almost healed. He is down to the last brace and we go to the therapist next Tuesday and will probably be told to use it only as needed. He's doing his exercises really good.
We are both doing well. We have cabin fever so bad, though. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so that I can get out in the garden. It gets warm for one day and then back to winter. And invariably, when it's warm, we have something else to do.
Christal and the boys came to visit last week. It was so good to see them. You know it's been a while when you haven't seen Adam with teeth...His front teeth finally grew back in. And Tayler is growing into such a little man. He is doing baseball and soccer this year.
Corie and kids will be visiting next weekend. They may end up helping me plant garden if its nice.
We are so looking forward to getting our fifth wheel out and going somewhere. It's been a lonnnnng winter.

Papa, Dad

We went to the hospital Monday to have the second thumb surgery. It went really well. This week has been long with pain and upset stomach. He always gets sick with the knock out drugs. They gave him something that was supposed to help...and it did till about 7:00 Monday evening...then he lost it all. And we've been fighting nausea all week. I think the pain meds might make him a little bit sick also. Other than that, he is doing all right. And I am, too. I got to go to JAM Club yesterday because Michael came over and Papasat for me. I think I'll leave him alone today and go get some groceries. I'm about out of coffee and that would not be a good thing.
I hope all of you are doing good. I thought we were going to lose power yesterday with the wind, but we didn't. Praise God.
And I think Spring is right around the corner....robins have been spotted!!
God is good!!
Some information about Adam. Christal took him for another EEG on Tuesday. He had to be sleep deprived with only 4 hours sleep. If you know anything about Adam, you know he sleeps at least 10 hours, so it was a challenge for Christal to keep him up all that time. They will get the results soon. Hopefully they will settle on a medication that he can take just one pill a day. Right now, he is taking 5 for epilepsy, and all his other meds makes about 12....It's rediculous. Pray for her as she is having migraines, and I'm sure it's stress.

Normal?

Life seems to be returning to normal. We had a house full this past Sunday and Monday. Tina and Randy still don't have power. So they had been in Lexington at a motel, but decided to come this way before the next storm hit on Monday. As it did in Louisville. So them and Corie and kids came and spent the night. Then on Monday afternoon, Corie got power at her house and they decided to go and all stay at Corie and Franks until they could get power to their house. The ice broke their weatherhead and that had to be repaired before they could get power. Now they are waiting for the electric company to get the power from the pole to their house. We have one more day of freezing cold and then we will be up in the 50's. We have a ton of work to do outside because we lost two big branches. Now we know why we had underground lines in WY!!! By the way if you go on google maps you can see a ground level picture of our house there. They have really taken good care of it. No tree in the front. But very nice landscaping. Have a good day, everyone.
