This has been a good week for me. I spent 3 days at home (Alabama) and I mean I did not leave the house for anything... YEA ME!!! I made up for that on Friday when I made 3 trips over to Mom and Dad's, lol. I actually went over there to go with Dad to see his Dr and to get his medication straight. He had changed his mind and thinks he has it straight, so I took the time to do some things at their house that they had wanted help with. I may have been more help than they planned, lol. I am finding out more every day just how much I am needed here in Alabama. I think the time has come that I must attempt to go with them to the doctor visits if at all possible. There is just too much going on and too many medicines involved for them to be able to remember it all... so 2 sets of ears will help, hopefully. I had to make 2 trips back to the lakehouse while trying to do some cleaning there. The 1st trip was to take a look at the sidewalk layout that the workers had come up with to see if it was what I was talking about and it was. I went back to Moms to get help from Kyle and Randy on their lunch break moving a heavy desk. Its a lot easier to supervise the moving of something than it is to move it, lol. This is just the beginning of what I hope is going to make things simpler for my parents, just getting the house better organised, or at least where I can do things there to help out without spending so much effort searching for things. It's only a week until they go for the Fall fishing trip and I just want to keep them healthy so they can do that and spend some time with them as well. While I was there I got a chance to take some pictures of Dad with his tomato plants. He is so proud of them and honestly this is the only time I remember my dad having a garden, lol. Mom use to years ago and he might have helped stake some beans but never tend to a garden or claim it, lol. The main reason was he worked daylight til dark at least 6 days a week.
Below is a pic of the old living room rearranged for better enjoyment of all of us, since the extra dining table has been moved out. I think Mom will enjoy having a tv to use when Dad watches stuff she don't like. In fact Mom Randy and I sat there and had a really nice chat and it was quieter.
We should have our driveway and sidewalk completed by mid week, if the rain does not mess us up. I really think it will be a rainy week and will take all week.
The weekend has been good but rainy. The lake has come back up over the rocks. We enjoyed football all weekend and other than Arkansas our teams won. This next week will be a trying weekend for us... when ALABAMA and arkansas play. Its almost like the ALABAMA vs auburn game in our house. If the game is not intertainment enough, then the Keesee's are lol. We have all kinds of pig to eat on that day.
