BUNCO

It is hard to believe that 12 women can have as much fun as our Bunco group does. We become like little children laughing all the time. When someone yells BUNCO! the red fuzzy dice will fly across the room. We have been know to cause distraction when our opponent is on a roll. All of us have been stabbed by fingernails, and havens to Betsey DON'T TAKE THE PEN WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE THE TABLE. It is a time we can let our hair down and forget about the crying kids, what is going on at work, our the laundry that needs to be done. We are women having a good time with our friends.

Becky called me today and gave me a web site to play Bunco on line. http://bunco.kewlbox.com/

I haven't tried it as of yet. Then I saw a commercial on Lifetime today that on Friday @ 10:00 pm our time the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BUNCO TOURNAMENT in Las Vegas will be on. Can't get any better than that.

These are some pics from one of our playing times. See how happy we all are.

Later

Northern Grandchildren

Ryan and Shannon are gaining weight and doing fine. I think they are keeping their mom hopping. She tries to sleep when they do, but then Noah needs tending to. Noah played in his first Ball game Saturday. All of my children said they would only have two kids. Then Audra had twins and now she has three. Tee-Hee-Hee. I do have to say that Audra & Becky are getting what they deserve. Cameron checks Justin's diaper to see if he pooped. Justin held his hand up to his mother and said talk to the hand. They both have their hands full. Of course Bobby has Angie to keep him and the kids in line. The Island they live on is so small I don't think Braden and Kyndal can get into much. You got to love um.

Saturday

Have you ever had one of those days when it would have been better not to wake up? So far that is my day today. When I got up and got in the shower I nearly slipped twice inside the shower. Then getting out I slipped again but didn't fall, but banged my leg. OK, I can make it. Pured some coffee, treated myself to some bacon and eggs. Burned some of the bacon in the microwave. Took my blood sugar, it's OK. Gave myself a shot if insulin and took what I thought were my pills. (David and I each have a weekly pill organizer and they are different colors not to get them mixed up). Drank my cup of coffee and came into kitchen to unload the dishwasher, I saw my pills on the cabinet and not on the table. When I looked close all of David's pills for today were gone, and mine were not. I called him, (he is doing a "Together We Build" house)asking had he taken his medicine this morning and he said NO! I ask him if there were any pills that might hurt me and he said no, you may get real sluggish and just keep an eye on my blood sugar. So my mourning goes. Am I ready for the loony bin? I think so.

Happy Anniversary to David and Becky today. Seven years.

Virginia Tech

The event at Virginia Tech yesterday brought back my own memories I had rather not remember. I was two blocks from the UT tower on that horrible day in 1966. I was attending Beauty School. The police came to tell us we had to stay inside away from the window. I couldn't get a phone call out to my parents, due to traffic on all lines. We could hear the shots, people crying and just chaos. I was safe then, but today it makes me mindful of how short life can be. We need to make the best of our lives and live it to the fullest and always look to Jesus. May God bless these family's who have lost loved ones and comfort them in this time of sorrow.

Ryan & Shannon

Our babies are home. Audra called late this afternoon to let us know they were home. They are doing good. No pictures as of yet. Will post them when I get some.

Man's Best Friend

Winnie, Just in case you haven't met is our little long haired dachshund. That was husbands retirement present. She quite attached to husbands hip. When husband is gone on one of his hauling trips she misses him like crazy. She sleeps with him every night. If he gets up she wakes up and sits upright until he comes back to bed. Last Thursday night things went a muck. Husband was gone and I decided to sleep in the bed to see if it still hurt my back (it did). At 3:00 am I got out of bed to sleep in recliner. Winnie did not wake up. At 9:00 am the next morning I went into the bedroom and there she was still sleeping in the same place. She must have heard me walk in because she set up and looked around, it was as if she didn't know where she was for a second. She got down and went to the back door as if nothing happened. What a crazy dog.

I was told by her Vet that there are two kinds of unconditional love, the first is God and the second is a dog. Spell God backwards.

FANTASTIC
