Vick’s Vaporub, Not Just For the Common Cold.

Friday 1/30/09
How’s Gary doing since coming home from the hospital?  He looks better through his eyes and he seems stronger than when we took him to the ER last week on Saturday.  He is still having loose stools but it’s not all day, it’s only once or twice a day now.  I feel bad for [...]

Home

Tuesday 1/27/09
Gary responded well to the antibiotics and he was discharged this evening.  We were released just in time to come home in the snowy rush hour traffic.  Thankfully we live close to St. Ann’s so it didn’t take long to get home.  Gary is resting and looks and acts much more like his old [...]

Where’s My Florida Home?

Friday 1/16/09
What ever happened to the heat?   I don’t know how long I can survive in this extremely cold weather.  This type of weather is the reason Gary and I have talked about moving to Florida for years.  The only thing that has kept us here is our daughter Dakota.  She still has 2 [...]

Su Dokube, What Is That?

I know most of you have heard about sudoku, and I’m one of those people who love to work on sudoku puzzles plus it helps work-out Gary’s brain.  Our daughter, Allison, gave us a game called Su Dokube.
  Like regular sudoku you work with the number 1 – 9 but instead of it being a flat [...]
