Wed. Sept 13

From a sunny, somewhat warmish MO,

This has been a full day. I had a good night of sleep as the girls didn't get my attention until after 6:00 this morning. I was walking by 7:00 and Jim left about 7:15 for his first breakfast. I had forgotten that Dr. Eden picked him up the week after his surgery and then Jim either drove or was picked up for the second week, but it has still been a long time for him to miss the "old fogies." He did a few errands after the first breakfast and the joined the infamous group for a second round - oatmeal the first time and toast the second time.

I puttered around here after I walked - started the split peas and other items in the crockpot, read newspapers, and finally showered.

I really don't remember where the rest of the morning went, but we left here again about 2:15 for his visit with Dr. Kozminski and the new implant. Dr. K caught us up on his four boys - the oldest at Northwestern in Illinois (is that right), the second a freshman at U. of Mich. and the other two boys are in their junior and freshman year at Savannah High School. Dr. K lives just a few houses from where Lorraine's cousin lives in St. Joseph.

Kathy Doosing was working at the clinic today and after receiving the implant, she applied the needed pressure on the bandage - allowing time for us to get caught up with her two children. The older child - Melissa - was a pole vaulter for Jim and she is in her senior year at Truman State at Kirksville and will be at MU this next fall as a first year med student. The second child - Brandon - will be finishing his AA at Trenton this semester and will then be transferring to MU.

Duke is working this afternoon on the fence and now is working on the north fence. When that gets done, then only the gates and adjoining sides on the north and south sides of the house will need to be repaired - or replaced as needed.

We had an e-mail from Debbie Willard this afternoon indicating that her mom is being moved to a dementia unit in the St. Louis area. Debbie will go down this weekend to check the facility out. Debbie's father died a few years ago of colon cancer and her mom remarried.

I have breakfast with the ladies in the morning and beyond that our dad is open.

Be safe.
B.
