Thursday, November 13

The days just seem to fly by.  I always have a list of things to do.

I spent this morning going from Dollar General store to other Dollar General stores trying to gather up enough Santa wall hangings to put one on each residents' door.  It took 4 stores but I have them.  The idea came from one of the other wives but they will look pretty cool I think.  We are going to put up the tree and decorate the day after Thanksgiving.

I made a visit to Cowboy on Saturday and we walked quite a bit.  He was fretting about the bird seed issue.  Ran into the activity aide and she said she has some, not to worry.

I went to the home Tuesday in the afternoon.  At 5 we had a special dinner with tablecloths, cloth napkins and centerpieces.  We celebrated Veterans day in style.  There were a group of soldiers from Ft Hood that came around and visited with everyone.

Cowboy had already been shaved, showered and dressed before I got there.  He had on a rose boutinere and looked really nice.   I put on a dress up top and patent dress shoes and jewelry.  It was a nice event.

Because it was late when it was over I stayed over at a hotel and then drove home yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon I had an appointment with the gastrenterologist. (how do you spell that anyway?)
 He wants to do an upper GI.  I have never had one and have a lot of trouble with acid reflux so is time to make sure there isn't damage in there.  It is scheduled for the 15th of December.  The medicine he gave me last month for my colon is working wonders for the irritable bowel issue.  Modern medicine is a wonderful thing.

My daughter and I are going to host Thanksgiving this year and I have been picking up things that we will need when I am out.  I found some place mats on sale at the dollar store.  who knew?  They will be great for the little ones.

I have a handyman here and am finally getting the guest bath finished.  He is also doing a little patching on some of the painting that my grandson did.  We had green paint on the ceiling and we dabbed white on it.

I also talked to a landscaper this morning.  I have decided I couldn't keep the weeds out if I pulled them everyday so I going to turn it over to an expert.
