June 22-July 17
From a cooler MO - at least for a few days --
I didn't realize it had been so long since I had done a blog - guess that means life is not boring.
Jim had a great trip to Canada - didn't have a Meniere's flare-up until about 12 hours after his return. He ended up spending two or three hours in the recliner before he felt he had the stability to get to bed. I'm thinking he was dehydrated and tired. He doesn't drink much when traveling as he doesn't want to ask the guys to stop frequently and was certainly tired as I think they got up about 4:00 a.m. on the return day and arrived here about 9:00 p.m.
He already had an appointment scheduled to see his E,N,T doctor on the following Wednesday. She thought maybe he was building up a tolerance to what he had been taking so told him to hang on to the OTC and put him on a prescription medication. If the latter fails at some time, he is to go back to the OTC. While we were in Liberty, we extended our visit to go to Cabela's, Nick & Jake's to eat lunch, Aldi's at Liberty, and the new Price Chopper at Liberty.
We have been helping to deliver Mobile Meals on Monday this month. We ended up going twice one week as a friend was called out of town because of an emergency. There are six routes to be delivered each day. Usually two people do a route as one drives and the other one does the actual taking the meal to the door.
This is a rather exciting weekend in Chillicothe as the old car parade was last night - am guessing well over a 100 cars, and today those cars and those who couldn't get here in time are on display at Simpson Park. There is also a county fair going on this week - so lots of cars are visible in this community.
I have discovered a new relative on my father's side of the family. I was playing around on the computer about a week ago and discovered a new name that had an inquiry about the family. He descends from a brother of my great grandfather - actually a brother that we had hit a dead end with his children. He grew up in Illinois and attended a college at the Univ. of Colorado. He has commented he and his wife drove between CO and ILL on highway 36 for years and never realized he had relatives still living in the area. I'm hoping he will be able to come to the family reunion next summer. He lives in Sierra Madre, CA.
Jim has been doing a lot of cleanup in our backyard and putting down fresh mulch. He has been doing five bags each morning and with the heat we had been having until Friday - that was enough for him. I helped him this morning (after breakfast at Nick's) and we got a larger area cleaned up so he will have several mornings to put more mulch down.
We don't have a lot on our schedule in the two or three weeks coming up - delivering meals on Monday, envelopes for Mobile Meals on Friday, Jim's breakfast with the old geezers and my breakfast with the old dolls, and a wedding on the 31st - of a former pole vaulter. The interesting thing on the latter is that it is also our anniversary. I have a cousin on my mom's side that is coming from Canada to stay several days with her mom in Marceline. I hope to get over there once or twice to see her.
Be safe.
