Mother.....

Mom didn't get to go home yesterday. Sounds like her tummy was upset and they thought it was best to get that under control. Done! She is feeling much better and is now resting at home. Take care Mom! And get well soon! Love you!

Good day Monday!

This Monday has been just about like every other Monday. Busy! The day I try to get everything done that I didn't get done over the weekend. In time for me to go back to work tomorrow. And this weekend... I didn't get much done. I think I was suffering from jet lag. Or just dragging bottom!

I had my spinal decompression done this morning at 8am. Dr. Koerner's secretary thought I was weird to be scheduling my appointments so early on my day off. I had to explain how the older I get, the less my body lets me sleep in. :-)   Then I was off to the lumber store. I'm on a mission on getting an air tight wood stove put in our house and I'm NOT taking no for an answer. I have some information I will be taking back to him on Wednesday (when I go back to Dr. Koerner's again) and I'm thinking he may just be able to help me. Yah! After that I was off to meet Michele at her doctor appointment. It is official! She is having her last surgery on Wednesday, November 24th. They are "removing the hardware". The two screws, washers and nuts are getting taken out!! It should be only an out-patient procedure. Her two last surgeries she was there over night. So this surgery is sounding like a cinch! Doesn't even need crutches. Go Mishi! And we reminded them again that she wants to keep her "hardware". I'm thinking we will be having show and tell for Thanksgiving. 

I then did a little shopping at the Mall and of course got groceries. Gabe and Jessica will be home Friday night until Sunday. Guess I will feed them. We have lots planned, but we always have time to eat. Roger will be starting his vacation this weekend too. He is taking some days off from work to help his Mom with a few things at her house. Sounds like they will be taking down some paneling, insulating, and putting up some sheet rock. Busy busy! And while he is doing that.... I'm going to be going to work! Had my fun in Houston last week!!!

Michele went to Topeka this last weekend. Her and Jessica then went to Manhattan on Saturday to the KSU football game. Sounds like their seats were pretty high up. (Did I mention that Jessica is afraid of heights?? ) They had a great time together. Makes Michele want to get moved down there faster than May.

Mom had surgery on her shoulder today. Dad called and said it went well. They were able to repair her shoulder and she should be able to go home tomorrow. One shoulder down..... one to go!

Booooooooo!

Happy Halloween!

whewwww.......

What a week! And I made it!!! :-) I wasn't sure, but did. Thank goodness it is the weekend. But, do you think I could sleep in?? No way! Go figure! So... what is up for the day?

~ Ummmmmm ...... maybe nothing at all! Just enjoy the beautiful day! 

Happy Weekend!

Back in Kansas Toto!

I sure had a grand time in Texas! But sure am glad to be home!! My flight into Hays was suppose to land at 4:51 pm Tuesday night, but I didn't get home till about 11:15 pm. What a day! It started with a plane delay on my first flight. Then we had a ground stop because Denver had closed down due to the wind. So..... we sat on the runway. Finally got to Denver. Then after running from one gate to the next.... only to find my flight had been CANCELLED! Yikes! They also cancelled the following flight to Hays. So then they moved me to the next flight. Sooooo... what to do for 4.5 hours??? Time killed... and then THAT flight was delayed. I was soooooo tired by the time I got home. As Roger says..... I was tired and cranky! But it was well worth the time I got to spend in Texas with LaDonna, Tye, Logan and Drew!!!! :-) Thanks guys for having me! Love you all!!

me... me... me... me... me...

This last week has just sped by! Busy at work and busy at home. Trying to get everything done and ready for me to leave for Texas early this coming Thursday morning. I CAN'T wait and I'm not going to feel bad about that either! Thursday ~ Friday ~ Saturday ~ Sunday ~ Monday ~ Tuesday ...... me.... me.... me... me! I'm thinking that LaDonna and I are going to have such a nice time.

five, four, three........ 21

 We celebrated Mishi's 21st birthday this last weekend in Topeka with Jessica. And what fun we had!!

Boy has Marley grown!!

Harrahs Prarie Band Casino .....I gave everyone a $20 bill. Roger put his in his pocket and DIDN'T take it back out. Jessica put hers in a machine. Lost.... won..... won..... came home with $20.50. She was so excited to make .50!!! Michele got her eyes opened when she walked into the casino!! Wish we could have had a picture of that face! She tried....... came home with $15.00 and REALLY thought it was stupid. Me.... just my usual! I came home with $8.00.

SUPRISE!!!!!! {Dad told them that we were in Topeka celebrating Mishi's birthday. Could they do anything special? So the whole crew came clapping and singing. And then gave her ice cream! She was so embarrased! Her face was soooo red!}

 

Then our next stop was The Wildhorse for a little bit of fun and dancing. Not everyday a mother and father take their children to a club! :-)

Rick & Gayle came from Lawrence. What a nice visit we had with them!!

Lydia pulled herself away from studying!!

And Kyle came to celebrate too! Gabe WAS there at first, but ended up going home sick. Hope he feels better soon!  

We ALSO got to see Alan, Miranda & Kayla this weekend. Boy is Kayla growing up FAST! I just can't believe how much she has grown. Time flys! Who knows, before long they will be celebrating her 21st birthday.

p.a.r.t.y.......

 Mishi celebrated her 21st birthday. They started Saturday with the FHSU vs. Washburn Homecoming game. Christine won V.I.P tickets and invited Mishi. What fun they had sitting in the V.I.P lounge! Then Sam took them out dancing after midnight .......... :-)

Mishi....

Happy 21st Birthday Mishi!!!

catch up.......

Jessica.....

This sure has been a long week! First of all..... Jessica has been sick all week. And that makes it hard on ALL of us. :-) But I did talk to her this morning and she is feeling better. Enough that she needed to get out of the house and get some fresh air. Hopefully she will feel well enough to go back to work on Monday! I just hate it when she is sick and so far away. 

Mishi....

Michele has had a busy week. Then this weekend is Oktoberfest at Hays. So the store where she works was just crazy! And then you add school on top of that. Tomorrow is her 21st birthday. What BIG plans they have! Tonight a bunch of her friends are going out to eat and then going to the Fort Hays/Washburn football game. Her friend Christine won VIP tickets to the game, so she has invited Michele to go with her. Box seats, free food and drinks & WARMTH! She is soooooo excited. Then afterward they are having a card party. 

Next weekend we are taking Michele to Topeka for her birthday. Shopping....... eating....... gambling...... dancing...... family! We have invited family & friends to join us. Some have accepted and some haven't, but we will be having LOTS of fun! Come join!!!

Roger & Corina.....

This week I have started having spinal decompression done on my back. Boy has my back been hurting this week! But my doctor says it will get better! It it helps in the long run, then it will be well worth it. Other than that we just go to work & come home. Go to work & come home. Never ending!!!

Well... that is about all for us! We hope you have a great week and if you don't have plans..... meet us in Topeka! Family..... Friends...... FUN!
