A FIRST FOR US

Boy am I behind on posting on the blog. Sorry, to all our readers. I will try to catch you up on our life.

On our last post while we were in Calera, Al. I failed to mention that Joe Segler came by for a visit. It was so good to see him. Sorry we did not get to see Carolyn. Hope your house sells soon so you can get on the road.

I had an eye doctor's appointment on Friday (the week before Thanksgiving). After returning back to Sun Coast, we pulled in the slides and were headed to Odenville to be with our daughter and her husband for Thanksgiving. Brian, our son-in-law, had the coughing crud several weeks ago and supposedly Yancy caught it from him. After going to the doctor twice they finally decided she had walking pneumonia. Now Allan is coughing up a storm and feeling poorly although nothing ever seems to get him down for long. He made a trip to the VA since we would be leaving soon. The doctor said it is likely to be walking pneumonia. If not, it is a viral infection. I have been trying to take my Vitamins especially C and eating fruits. So far I have not come down with it.

I baked our turkey on Wednesday so it would be ready for Thanksgiving when Brian's grandmother, mother and stepfather came for lunch. We had a good time.

Friday Brian and Yancy had friends over for the BIG football game. Auburn vs. Alabama. Auburn won and we were happy. Brian and Yancy were elated during the first half of the game while Alabama was ahead but not so enthusiastic at the outcome.

We have worked on the truck and trailer, sprucing it up. Katie had a vet appointment to get her rabies shot. She also has "blackheads" under her chin. The vet said it goes along with a plastic allergy. Katie was not a happy kitty. She was very VOCAL. Allan had a dental appointment. His new crown will be ready the week after Christmas. This all seems to be very medical. Sounds like we are all falling apart including the cat. Sorry, maybe too much information??

Yancy and I got a chance to sneak off and do some shopping. You know how ladies like to shop. Allan was happy to stay home and help Brian with projects around the house. Brian stood in line in the cold rain on Black Friday at Sears and got a washer and dryer. Saved over $700. Dave Ramsey would be proud of you Brian.

Today was a first for us. We traveled with me following Allan in the Jeep. This really worked out good. We drove to Berrydale, Florida for a church project. After we crossed the state line, Allan pulled over since we were not sure of the exact location. I drove the jeep ahead and found the turn off for the church and gave him a call that is was ok to continue and I felt he could make the turn in easily. We got settled in and went to church which is presently being held in an old community center building.
