Spectacular Weather

The weather here has been pretty great.  Beautiful days.  But it has been a mix with some rain.  We missed getting much with the recent storms that saw some huge hail all around  us but nothing but a sprinkle here.  We did get a few more dead limbs from that freeze fall out of the trees from the winds.  The big ones are still hanging on.

We drove up to Bandera to visit with some long time friends we don't get to see much.  They offered to feed me ribs so I accepted.  This is my SPECOPs friend that I learn a lot from.  So down to earth for such a brilliant mind.  You can't help but like him.  And his wife compliments that.  We don't get to see them as much as we like as he is so busy doing doctor stuff.  The visit was great but we do get into talking about the things that bother us about how our world is going.  We are of like mind in that regard.  Neither of us stress too much about the things we can't control.

I've been pretty busy with minor chores around the house.  This cool dry weather just increases my energy somehow.  I start passing out on the couch even earlier than usual.  But I feel pretty good for some one with so many health things being an issue.  For that I am so very thankful and am reminded to give thanks in my prayers.

The youngest Granddaughter is here for a couple days and has been here off and on a little more than usual.  Her Dad is at a show in Las Vegas promoting his self published works and with Mom a teacher it doesn't work out so well for a four year old.  But we are glad to have her, she brightens things around here and makes us smile a lot.  What a blessing she is and has been.  

Things seem to be going OK for my Mom.  We have no real idea how her doctor visit went since she won't let any of us attend.  The transcript we wanted was useless.  It didn't even list the appointment scheduled for today.  Fortunately they call us as a reminder.  She is going to this one today by herself also.  We try to get her to write things down to ask the doctor about such as refills on meds etc.  She can't really tell us anything about her visit or about the meds he prescribed.  She absolutely doesn't want any of us there for those visits.  So we have to just turn her loose for now, there isn't much we can do without stressing her out more and causing heartache.  At least that is how it will go for now.

We are off to Costco with a huge list.  Chaching $$$
