The world keeps on turning and every revolution brings new challenges. I am never done doing. Those rare uneventful days often leave me to wonder, am I dreaming? Today I know I'm not dreaming. I have a $#!+load of things to do. Yesterday my son stopped by to chat. I believe I have positive proof that there is life on other planets. From his his discussion I have to believe that he is not of this world. He must be from Utopia. |

Mwaramutse!
We've had quite a cool-down over the last few days. They're saying the high will only be 70 tomorrow. It feels much better than mid-90's and muggy, but let's not get carried away. Happy Anniversary, Mike! Have a good one, Gurus! |

You can go to the casino at 5:45 am....??? That must be a rough crowd....
Cool and cloudy here with a 50% chance or rain....that's pretty good odds and we sure could use it. Time to rethink my priorities a bit....I think I will concentrate more on living, laughing and loving and will not sweat the small stuff......and its all small stuff... Time to get started on my new mission plan......have a great day Guru's... |

So ..... What does today bring to the table? ......
FIL fell during the cruise in the stairway. He tore his quadrecep in his right knee. He had surgery on Monday to repair it. He should be getting released today and rehab is expected to be about 3 to 6 months. Sue went to the Dr today to have her MRI read from before we went on the cruise. She has a torn quadricep and is leaking fluid from behind the knee. It is creating a large cyst on the side of her right knee. Surgery will be scheduled and is suggested to be SOON. Rehab immenent. I guess she's going to try to get the jobs she has scheduled done before going under the knife (or laser). Nurse Tommy will once again have his hands full. Maybe I should stock up on meds now. I think I'm gonna need some ..... |

You have to be aware of your surroundings. People fall all the time on cruises. Wet decks, unfamilier flooring. Hell I tripped a couple of times myself on some whacko track on the floor by the elevators. Then there are the drunken idiots that try to jump from the level above the pool into the pool. There is plenty of blood left behind plus a few fatalities to prove this was an unwise decision. Of course, it's always the cruise lines fault. They should have been babysitting the twenty year old. They should have told granny to hold the rail or put up a sign. |

Good morning to all. Anyone here planning on attending the Vettes on the Rockies event, July 31 - Aug 3? I'm going to try to get up to it and grab a few pictures and post them here. 2013 will be the 40th Anniversary of Vettes on the Rockies® an event that started in 1973 at Grand Lake, Colorado. Should be fun

Morning all--
Here is one from the RV park. We had a Swedish couple stay the past few days. The young lady decided to take a dip in the pool. I get calls and women coming into the office all UPSET about the WOMEN and how she is dressed. I walk to the pool and take a chair to see what the problem is. All i see is a blond goddess in a really really skimp bikini. I see nothing wrong with this, but her husband in a speedo was just a no no..... |

I was piddling around the house and I was outside from 10:30 to about noon. This is just about the middle of the day in the middle of summer. It's hot and sunny. After I came inside I realized this would be the perfect time to take a nap. When opportunity knocks you have to be ready to seize the moment. Knocked off a sweet two and a half hours with my head planted comfortably into the pillow. We have an officers installation banquet tonight being held at the local country club. Looks like that'll be about it for today. I'm gonna DNBS. This morning I sent a link to my son from DR Phil's web page. It was all about parents responsibilities to adult children. |
