SWITCHED LOCATIONS

We have settled into our new project. Allan is putting up drywall and other odd jobs. I took pictures, but failed to bring the camera with me so still no pictures on our blog. I have been busy packing and unpacking and cooking several dishes for Allan to heat up while I am gone. We took a ride into the western part of Mobile for a Wal-Mart fix. Saturday we drove to Pascagula and Ocean Springs, Mississippi to check out the area.

Sunday I left for Alabama to spend a week with Yancy, our daughter. Due to both of our surgeries, we had very little time to get our "list of things to do" done so I find myself back at her house, The drive seemed long with an occasional rain, but was rather uneventful. It was dark by the time I arrived in Birmingham so I met Yancy and Brian at church.

Monday, Yancy was off, so we started on errands that were on our list. We bought material to make curtains for her laundry area. The day was successful but not long enough to get everything done. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Today I drove to Hoover and Alabaster to visit with a friend, Nancy. My old Bunco group was meeting at her house tonight. Wish I could have stayed and played. I made a stop at North Shelby Family Health where I used to work before becoming a gypsy. It was good to see everyone. It was another rainy day, but I was able to run into several different stores to pick up a few things we needed without getting soaked.

Our plans are never written in stone as things change very frequently. This year our plan is to be in Mississippi for 3 months and then travel to the Sarasota area to visit Allan's brother and his family. After that, we will start heading for Maine to work there June, July and August. The plan is to come back to Alabama and stay for 3 months rather than 2.

As I was saying things change sometimes. Today I made some phone calls to coordinate an endoscopy that my daughter is to have in March and the TMJ surgery for me. When I saw the doctor in November he told me the surgery would be done as an outpatient. Today I found out I would have to return to his office rather frequently for a year. That will be hard to do from Maine. Now I have to gather more information and regroup. I would love to do our plan and then have the surgery in October, but I am not sure I can wait that long.
