To Hot........

Can you tell I hate hot weather and especially humidity. Makes my hot flashes worse. Blah.......Thanks for all the prayers for mom and dad. Dad is feeling lots better. Mom is doing better. She had some memory loss. She said right after she couldn't remember to much. We met them for lunch at the Grapevine Friday.She seemed good just her voice you could hear she was tired.Corky went on a motorcycle ride today with the guys up in the mountains.He said it was beautiful up there. I have been trying to clean but having a hard time motivating myself.I got out my painting stuff again. I took a class on Donna Dewberry one stroke . I wished I would have taken art class in school. I have a hard time to see where things are supposed to be shaded. Oh well. I practice and finally end up with something that looks semi-ok.Asking all to continue to pray for mom and dad's health. Blessings.

Awesome Time.......

We had such an awesome time on our trip. Time with family and just being with each other in a confined space as Corky says it. We celebrated our 37 years together at a Wendys.As when we put in the gps a steakhouse it was closed down when we got there. Then we tried to rely on our own navigation in Little Rock, we ended up in a really bad neighborhood and Corky says we need to get out of here fast or we might get shot. Really was bad. So we quick put in the motels address and a wendys was right there. we learned what a bellywasher was and you could order a croppie casserole if you wanted in some places. So how you all doing today? Just love that. We learned big time that people in other states have a good attitude. Not here. Blast the horn and get out of my way. No wonder people have nervous breakdowns here. just drive on the freeway for a bit.We even had to sleep on a mattress that had a hole in it. Felt like we were reliving that Lucy show where she tied herself to the side of the bed. I was pissed because we were so tired and then that.So when I complained in the morning The guy thought I was complaining that the bed wasn't hard enough. Who knew a hole in a mattress was not a hard bed. Haha. By the way so that none of you hit that place it was in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Fairfield inn by marriot..But in spite of it all. Oh and Corky got bit by a ton of fleas in Arkansas from his waist down so when we got home we went to urgent care. So he could get relief from the itching. One guy at Church said good grief looks like they had big lips and sucked the juice right out of you. Looked awful. We kept in touch with my parents via email because my dad was having such a time after the gallbladder operation. They have since found another stone in his duct and now he is on the mend. But my dad called the other day and he had to take mom in because she was having series of mini strokes. She is back home and we hope and pray that both of them are on the mend from this seemingly endless pain and suffering. Pray for God's healing touch to be with them both.We sure missed the kids and grandsons while we were gone. We watched them for a bit while Kim and Chris went to the demo derby. They always come up with soemthing and we have such a hard time to keep from chuckling. Just love them little ones to pieces.So precious.Thanks to everyone for Blessed time. Family is just the greatest ever. Blessings to all. Corky and Kay

Prayer request

Dad has to have colonscopy to see why all the bleeding and then they have to go down his throat and see if he needs a stint put in his gallbladder duct. They will do upper GI at the same time and also check his pancreas.This will be done on different days. June 24th and July 1st.Pray for God's healing touch. Blessings to all.

Chomping at the bit......

So far Corky has to take Fridays off. We are hoping things pickup soon at his work.We decided to take the 2 weeks and head out early for the family reunion. We are stopping by my brothers and also some friends in springfield.They had to layoff tons of people in the school district and close 3 schools. Now they were ordered to open a new school so that means possibly closing another school. The one I work at has low enrollment so who knows what will happen. I will find out tomorrow if I get to work summer school.Everything has been upside down at work.I am weary of it all. dad is still having problems.He sees the doc today. Hoping for some answers.Drove up to Big Bear Sunday afternoon to see Kim and family while camping. Really fun except Corky got carsick and he was driving.Corky has not been sleeping well as he gets excited like a little kid for vacation. Hope to see lots of family at the reunion. Should be fun.Don't think mom and dad will make it. Mom's dizziness is better but dad is really not to good for a trip. Pray for them to get healthy once again. Dad so enjoys driving and going places. Blessings to all.

Update

Update on mom and dad

Thank you all for your prayers. Mom is doing a bit better. Dad had to be taken by ambulance again to the emergency as he had cranberry juice and was having like seisure. They did a cat scan and found his gallbladder was enflamed. So he will probaly be undergoing surgery in couple of days. He was in good spirits mom said. So lift them both up in your prayers. Dad has been in pain for quite sometime. Hopefully this will be the end of all that stomach pain.Blessings to all.
