Weekend fun...

We had our granddaughter Kalleigh stay over night last Thursday and Friday. Then our other granddaughter Natalie was also with us Saturday night.

Natilie just LOVES Kalleigh! Would NOT let her be alone for one minute. They had a great time together. So much so that Natalie ignored her daddy. Didn't want to have anything to do with him while Kalleigh was here with us. We took them shopping and got them identical outfits to wear to church Sunday. They were twins. LOL!!! At least that is what they were telling everyone.

We also bought a new 22" LCD monitor for our desktop computer. It is BIG!!! But Susan really likes it and so do I.

Time to go back to work Thursday. November 1. Yes I said November 1!!! Only 2 months left in this year!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WESTLEY !!!!!!

Happy birthday to my oldest grandson Westley Dylan Twente. He is 15 years old today.

In Missouri 15 year olds can get their learners permit to drive. Shannon is taking West to take the written exam tomorrow.

Then as long as he has an adult over 21 in the car with him, he can learn to drive for a year. Then when he turns 16 he can take his driving test and get a restricted drivers licence until he is 18 years old. The restriction between 16 and 18 is that he can't drive between 11:00 pm and 6:00 am.

So another teenager with a learners permit on the road and streets of St. Charles county.

We are taking over his car tonight. He is inheriting the 1994 Mercury Tempo that Scott was using for a while. Scott got it from Granny B (Susan's mother). Good car for a 15 year old to learn to drive in.

FAA Physical Passed....

Here are some pictures of our hot tub room. And yes we are originally from Kansas City. I have even worked part time for both the Royals and Chiefs.

Went to get my FAA physical this morning and passed with flying colors.

Turning cold here with rain this afternoon.

Honey Do Day

Feeling better, but still have a nasty cough. Running some errands this morning, then cleaning up the Hot Tub Room. Closed the pool last month, now getting cooler, so time to get the hot tub going. Nothing like coming home from work and relaxing, and soaking in the hot tub.

AHHHHHH......

We have a room in the basement, next to the basement walkout doors, where the hot tub is located. We have Kansas City Royals memorabilia on two of the walls. And Kansas City Chiefs on the other two walls. Will take some pictures and post tomorrow.

Still fighting the flu

Well here it is Wednesday. And I am still fighting the flu! As soon as one symptom goes away another one surfaces. I can't win for losing! We had the DirecTV guy here this morning to help repair and setup 2 of our units. WOW! what a mess. Cables everywhere. Took both of us to get everything figured out and then fixed. Good news is that after 2 hours of tracing cable we got all units working like they should.

Every time I try to do something around the house the flu knocks me back down again. This is getting old, fast.

Raining today so no yard work until tomorrow.

Hope weather and health improve tomorrow.

FLU

Sorry that I haven't posted in a couple of days. But with the funeral then me getting sick, I haven't had the time or strength.

Still weak from all the diarrhea and coughing and sneezing, and vomiting and aches and fatigue.

Got a call last night from my best friend Bob Radtke. He is with the FAA (Federal Aviation Admiration). I know it is an oxymoron. My best friend working for the FAA, but we go way back to 1986 and TWA overhaul base in Kansas City, where we met. Bob lives in Helena, Montana. He and I went to a 3 day seminar in Oklahoma City to get our IA certificates a few years ago. IA (Inspector Authorization) is an addium to our A & P Mechanics licences. It authorizes us to perform and sign off annual inspections and major engine overhauls on aircraft airframes and powerplants (engines).

Laid to rest

We had excellent weather today for my mother-in-law's funeral. The minister at the Faith United Methodist Church did an excellent job with the funeral message. We had about 100 family, friends, and neighbors of hers, stop by and pay their respects. Which is saying a lot, because most of those she knew have already preceded her in death.

She was the last survivor of her generation. My sister-in-law is now the old (new?) matriarch of Susan's side of the family.

Susan and I would like to thank all of you who read my blogs and have remembered us in your prayers the last few days.
