Morning all!

Meant to get up at 6:30 to be ready for my dad to get here at 7:30. Bill woke me at 7:00 and said, "What time did you want to get up?" So a very FAST shower, needed to wash my hair and that always takes a few minutes longer, but with a swipe at makeup and the blow dryer to just my bangs, I was ready when he got here at 7:30. His appt. was for 8:00 in Springboro, and lord knows it doesn't take a half hour to get there, but that's one thing about my folks, they don't EVER want to be late for anything. This was his last acupuncture appt. He will be seeing a surgeon for a consult on his knee. He already had the other knee done and said he'd rather have the surgery than the constant pain. Audrey, good luck to you on yours!

I wanted to put my 2 cents in about nursing homes. My parents live in a retirement/nursing home and I am so glad they do. It was their decision to move there and they live in a small patio home on their own. However, they have an alarm system there that they can use if anything happens to either of them and if they need to move to the nursing part of it, they can do that at any time. Since it was their decision, I didn't have to decide to move them and they are happy where they are. Dad will be 91 next month and Mother will be 89 in July. I would have gladly taken care of them, but they are where they want to be. I do agree that it's important to check the place out, as there are many bad nursing homes.

The friends that we travel with and eat out with a lot had a rude awakening in the wee hours yesterday morning. Mark's dad had an aneurysm and by the time they got to the hospital he was gone. He was 81 years old. Sad thing is, he's to be buried Friday, Mark's birthday. :O(

So with Dusty's MIL, and now Mark's Dad, with Kathy's MIL that makes 3.

Okay, I'm ready to post some pictures!

Here is the beginning of the pond build.
