The Last day of Febuary

Well here I am--I'm not on much and you wonder why???? Because my life is not that interesting and some may feal a little boring. We got up this morning and that alone was a plus!!!! I pulled up the blinds and made some coffee. Then comes the real important part doing the pills for the day. Turn on the TV to see the bad news of the day and pour some coffee for me . Start to sit and watch the news and then hear my husband calling BONNIE. I take some apple sauce in to give him his morning pills and hand him his pc pipe that he has to exercise his upper body. Go back to the kitchen and have a sip of coffee again and then hear another cry BONNIE. Go into the bedroom and help him exercise his legs and change his catheter. Get him washed and ready to roll out of bed with a little help and proceed to dress him for the big day. Now we are ready for breakfast except he never knows what he wants. I decide for us and so we eat. I go get myself dressed as the phone will be ringing and the door bell ringing most of the day with important Dr Appointments or nurse or bath aid comming. Some days we could use a revolving door and then other days it remains quite. He is through with PT and OT now so we have more time to --- to---- do nothing. We don't have any exciting things happening like a man coming through the celling or maybe I would enjoy the company. This is how it is except I did'nt get to lunch or dinner. We do end up with a good evening as we can look forward to "The Wheel of Fortune" and
"American Idol"Whooppeeeeeee! we do everything in reverse go to bed and wake up(if were lucky) and start it all over again. Hope I did'nt bore you but thats our life in a nut shell. Love to all until next time.

Party For Chuck's 80th Birthday

Karen & Kate arrived on Jan.31st and we were at the Dr's for Chuck. We were happy to see them here safe and sound. A short time later the Maurer's & Seiler's got here and the fun started from then until they left. The kids were happy to be here also as it is a long time to travel. We got to meet Pippen the new dog of the Maurer's. He is the sweetest little dog we have ever seen and we loved having him. We had a big spaghetti & meatball dinner with garlic bread plus some gratted cheese on top. I gave them a song as I grated the cheese which was O SOL LO MIA and Liam got the giggles and made us all laugh. Well after that they all wanted some cheese on theirs. The blow up bed's were blown up and they filled the living room floor. There was a little arguing about who slept with who and where, but after a little crying it was all decided and we went to bed. We had some sweet rolls and they went over pretty good for breakfast but Kate found her strawberries and whipping cream and they all had a little of that too. I took a few things over to the church hall and checked it out. It was very nice but a little cold so we blew up some balloones and left. The party was starting at four so we went home and prepared the food and did some chores. The party was a great success and the kids played hard and ate harty . We had a party crasher a sweet old man wandered into the hall. I went up to him and asked him if he would like some pizza and salad and he said yes he would like that. I found out he was coming from church and heard the noise and came to see what was happenening. He stayed and had a little food and then I asked him his name and he said it was Larry. It happenes his wife was in the hospital and he was all alone. I'm glad we were there to meet him as I do not know any one at church yet. Now I have a friend called Larry and will look for him at the next Mass and ask him how his wife is doing? I fell after we left the hall and got a big bruse on my thigh and a big sore on my wrist . The girls put ice on me when we got home so I'm doing fine now. The girls are so smart they can do anything . They took the list I make for Bob and did it all. They climbed into the attic to put a few things away and found we had a mold and wet attic up there. They even took pictures so I could show the builder and I did just that. He is going to take care of it soon. Hhooooray for the girls as we have had men up there many time and they never saw it. We have been blessed with such wonderfull grandchildren & greats that we can not began to thank everyone for all the help they have been.We both love you and hope that you know how much you are treasured by us. We had a wonderfull time with all and can't wait until we meet again.
