Good Morning

Hi,
I didn't realize until this morning that I haven't updated my blog in a while. Sorry....I will try to do better from now on.

Bob, Terry and I went to the Columbus Crew (Soccer team) championship game last week. I'm not a big fan of Soccer but Bob loves it. He played Soccer all through Jr and High school and he used to referee when we lived in Florida. Terry has really gotten into the sport also since he has moved to Columbus. Anyway, Columbus won so now they go to the "Superbowl" of Soccer in a couple weeks.

I had a Bone Density test done this past Monday. Since I have been off my hormones for a year and with mom having Chronic Osteoporosis my doctor wanted to make sure my bones are okay. Everything came back fine. So it looks like my bones are good bones...Yeah!!

Mickey has his shoulder surgery today. I talked to him Monday evening and he was a little nervous but I think he is looking forward to getting this taken care of. Please keep him in your prayers.

We are going to Gatlinburg for Thanksgiving next Thursday. I've never been there so I am looking forward to seeing all the sights. If everyone shows there should be about 12 of us. It should be a good time.

I am going to the "Y" this morning to walk and also for my water exercise class. I just LOVE getting in the pool. Sometimes I stay in the pool after the class and swim around for a while. It's so much fun.

Have a nice day and for the ones of us up north, stay warm.

It's Friday...

Hi,
We are having a absolutely beautiful day here. My windows are open and nice cool air is circulating through and right now it feels great. It's supposed to turn cold tomorrow and we have a possibility of snow showers tomorrow evening...Winter is on the way!

I am so proud of myself..I joined our local "Y" last week and I have gone there every day this week to walk. They have a great walking track that once you go around 8 times you have walked a mile. It's really been fun. I plan on using the pool and also starting on some of the machines to help me out with my abs and my "bye-bye" arms.

I went to my Podiatrist yesterday for a follow-up appt. with my foot. If you don't remember I have a condition called Neuroma, which is a swollen nerve. My doctor had me on anti-inflammatory medication which works great when I'm on the meds but once I complete them the nerve swells again and it causes me pain at the ball of my foot when I walk. So he decided this time to give me an injection of steroid in the nerve. This process seems to be working fine so far. My foot feels great today but we will have to see how it goes. If this doesn't work then the next step is to surgically remove the nerve. I don't know if I want to do that. I may need to go to another Podiatrist to get a second opinion. I will keep you updated.

Well, that's about all that is going on up here. Have a good weekend. Take care.

It's Election Day.....

Today is the day we've all been waiting for....Have you voted yet? Bob and I are going to go this evening when he gets off from work. I can't wait for all of this to be over. I am so sick of the TV commercials, phone calls, fliers in the mail and seeing the signs everywhere. I just hope and pray that our new president does a good job and the state our country's in begins to look better.


I decided to join our local "Y." A friend of mine works there and she took me for a tour last week and by the end of the tour she had me convinced to join. There's a fabulous walking track on the second floor so I plan on taking advantage of that and also they have water aerobics and water exercise classes that I want to participate in. I ordered a bathing suit off of the Internet but I really dread putting it on. It's not going to be a pretty sight!!!

We met up with Bobby, Benita, Terry, Jason, Colton and Eli for dinner Saturday evening. We went to J. Alexander's in Columbus. The food was so good, especially the steaks... YUM!!! We all pretty much waddled out of the restaurant. We were good though and didn't order dessert. But we probably ate enough calories for a couple days worth of meals.

Joy had her surgery yesterday and I'm glad all went well. I believe she is coming home on Wednesday. I talked to Kathy yesterday evening and they are fine. She loves her new house. I told her she needed to send us some pictures.

Bob and I put up my Christmas village the last weekend of October. It takes us 3 days to get it up. I now have 62 buildings, and a bunch of elves figurines. I will take a picture and post it on here so you all can see it.

We've been having our fall craft shows. So far I've gone to a couple of them. I just love looking around and seeing how creative some people are. There's 4 more this month and I believe there's one in December. When I was leaving the one I went to on Sunday there was a booth selling Kettle Corn....Oh, how I love that stuff. Anyway, I had to buy a bag, of course. So good!!!

Well, I am off to the "Y." Everyone have a good day. Be sure to vote!!! Take care.
