That's a saying my mother used to say and that's how I feel!
It's been a week since I posted a regular journal entry and it seems that the more behind I get - the more behind I get!
Last Wednesday Louis Dean had a Medicare Wellness Checkup.
I am so grateful that as Louis Dean complains about going to the doctor visits - he is gracious and goes along with the program even when he doesn't like to do so.
Since he is diabetic, they always check his feet.
He is borderline but has no feeling in some parts of his feet.
Here he is waiting for his lab work.
Instead of seeing a podiatrist - we visit Lovely Nails on Beltline Road.
They do so much more than Dr. Garcia - plus they make over him like he is a movie star!
I think I've made him famous!
Since it was a fasting appointment and it was now 3:00 ....
He was excited to have a hamburger and fries at Braum's.
Louis Dean and I have enjoyed these cold evenings by the fireplace.
So have our cats.
I have no idea why this pic is here but we do love our pepper poppers!
Samantha is our super star and always posing!
I opened the fridge to prepare a meal and looked up......
We never know where we will find her!
She is quick to claim a new basket or investigate an open cupboard door.
I have a funny story about these pajama pants.
Louis Dean and I were having coffee in his music room and he wadded this pair of pajama pants up and said, "You can cut these up for rags or whatever you want to do with them but I slept in them last night and like to never got them off this morning!"
That's because these are my pajama pants!!!
I talked to my brother, Lonnie, on Monday and he laughed so loud when I told him this story!
Saturday morning we were up really early to go to North Richland Hills to watch Harrison's hockey game. It started at 9:15 and we were early!
Only for hockey games are we early!
I don't want to miss a minute.
Amber and Mike are loving the whole hockey adventure - just as much as I enjoyed her Synchronized Swimming! She explains to me the importance of a hockey game by comparing it to her swimming experience. This particular game was like playing Santa Clara's B Team.....they played the Penguin's B team.
And they won!
Amber, Mike and I went inside to the ice rink while Louis Dean opted to watch from the the windows where it was warm.
I love being a part of the whole hockey experience with not only Harrison, but Trystan, Kailey and Logan, too!
We made it to Harrison's Sunday game when the Brahmas played the Penguin's A team.
And, once again, they won!
3-2!
Life seems to be slipping by and I hope to not get behind in my journal entries.
When Lonnie and I talked on Monday - I was telling him about chapter 3.
He was a baby in the last chapter but apparently the family next door to Granny and Granddad continued to live there for years and years.
Right off the bat, Lonnie said, "That was Joe and John Bowman! They went on to serve long sentences in the penitentiary. Lonnie has an amzong memory as did Deanie and Nita.
While I remember my early years, they helped me fill the blanks in later years.
Today is Lonnie's 70th birthday!
He is so precious to us and we all love him dearly!
His humor is so funny and we laugh and laugh when we talk on the phone.

I love that last quote...hopefully we learn how to act in public! LOL. Some never do. I meant to read Chapter three when I saw it on Facebook, and now it's scrolled way down. I'll have to go search for it again. I don't want to miss it. Are you putting them here on your blog anywhere? I have been enjoying reading each chapter and can't wait for the next. Love that you all can participate with your grandchildren's sports activities, etc. What fun that is for them and you! What a blessing!!!
Have a wonderful rest of your week.
Nice entry. I can't believe the kids are so old! I remember them before they were born. Hope Dean's doctor went well. Funny - he had your pj pants on. I like that last quote too.
Oh my Poor LD...I can just see him trying to get off those pjs.lol We all have days like that. I am enjoying your book and look forward to the new chapters.
Harrison is growing so fast. He looks taller than his mom!! Did you get any blood test results yet?
I can tell you are having lots of fun with family and sports events and being together. That is good Louie Dean and you are getting regular checkups. Hey those are cute pj bottoms, no wonder they didn't fit him!
That is too funny about the pajama pants.
I hate having to fast before doctors appointments. I'm always starving afterwards. A burger and fries sure sounds good.
The pajama story is pretty funny Linda....you do so well in taking care of LD and home....loving your novel.....it's simply wonderful to read....
That story about the pajama bottoms is hilarious! I am anxiously waiting for the next chapter of your book. You are a great writer as well as artist. RHill, TX
always good to hear from you and know all is well, even if Ld slept in your Pj's.
