Well, the knee replacement is in 3 weeks! There's a rehabilitation place that takes her insurance and is like a 4 star hotel with people helping her 24/7 for up to 20 days!!! Thank you Lord! Myself, I'll be ok until she's back on her feet unless something weird happens.
I'm losing interest in shooting as it becomes more and more work to even get around. bummer.... a fella needs something to be enthusiastic about.
.... life continues, each day I'm more convinced that the last lesson to be learned is to totally agree with God's Way of things happening etc.
Will always wish I'd been more generous with my time and talents...

Veterans Day 2013
November 11th, Veteran's Day
Well, the time has come for Vicki to quit worrying about me, and go get her knee replaced. (gulp) I'm sure I can handle things around here and myself, but I fear I won't be able to be that much help (physically) if Vicki needs it... scary thought. If need be, we'll just have to get a nursing home arrangement I suppose til she's rehabilitated. Poor thing, tears my heart out.
To see her panic at the thought of me dying on her, and her having no one to care for her as she gets older and older rips my guts out. NOT MY MOST UP POST, but just how it's rolling this day.

Must be rested up, got up @ 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. Bob's still on Florida time so is up 3 hours ahead of us usually. the 60mg of Prednisone is hardly working lately, not a clue where to go from here. I suppose 65 n upward til I pop... who knows?!
On a brighter side, heading down to Tuscon to pick up some Vanilla Bean flavoring and to see the Xavier Mission again. 1692 is a long time ago and it's still in use!
Time will reveal all things. I continue my prayers for kids n grandkids and friends n family.

November 3rd: Alas, seems I'm stuck on the tube most of the time. New reality. There is a dust in the air that is as fine as baby powder and invisible to the eye. Not sure how good that is for me, especially if the wind is blowing. Trying to stay out of it even though I don't see it or have an immediate effect to its presence.
Got to wake up early, we're headed for the Grand Canyon. It's a good 6 hour drive... but, Bob's never even seen it and Vicki only once and it was filled with smoke then.... (I've been to the bottom and back twice I can remember) Along the rim more than that. It's one of those things everyone ought to at least see if not experience in depth. 4 climate changes on the way down...
Really fun to sit with Bob n remember old times. We go back from before my oldest son was born. Odd couple to say the least, different in a lot of ways, but both loved exploring and geography and spent many a weekend boating up into the swamp. I'm thankful as can be to have this time with him. Vicki probably gets tired of the same old stories...lol
We'll have to see how the altitude and temperature treat me, could be ok, could be miserable... figure either way I'll get my share of prayer time ;-)
Better get to bed, if we're getting up at 5am, that means I need to get up a good hour before that to take meds and coffee up. Thank you Lord for this day also.
