Yesterday we celebrated the anniversary. March 12 2010 is the second year since Bill had his hemorrhagic stroke. No news is good news. We got glass fireplace doors for each other and I went to Mission Burrito for dinner. It was a very good day.
Today we worked outside in the garden since the weather is beautiful. We really didn't loose many plants to the winter. We did decide to take up the 25 Mexican Heathers we had....due to the major bee interest. We have way to many grandchildren playing back there to take a chance.
Bill is the boss and I just do what he tells me. When I am finished he hoses it down and we admire our good work. We look forward to our time in the garden.

Mardi Gras Visit
We had a great Mardi Gras treat. Don & Darlene Sixkiller came to visit on Saturday and stayed till Tuesday. They bought Bill & I our favorite dinner from Rocky & Carlo's....Bill gets baked macaroni with veal pamesan on top. I get the veal cutlet and macaroni. They got them packed to travel & put it all in a ice chest. We had a feast. In fact Bill & I got 3 more meals out of the left overs. Bill knew they were coming but not the Rocky's food. We really enjoyed it.
They spoiled us...........Hubigs Who-Dat Apple pies,Fleur de Lis cokes,Bunny Bread,Brownies,Coffee cake, Super Bowl newspapers and even a Saints Crawfish.
Best of all a wonderful few days that felt like the old days. We forgot for a short time about everything and just enjoyed our time with our good friends. We looked thru old band photos...and talked about who looks the same and who looks the oldest. Bill had the idea to take them to eat at Fogo de Chao..Brazelian steakhouse like no other. The food was good and the company better.
It was a beautiful sunny but cool day. We enjoyed the ride...even Bill. We took them to see Main Street in Tomball and Lori's SnoBall stand. She called and was on the way to our house. So she met us in Tomball and we all did a little shopping.
Greg made Don a copy of the Nobles 50th Birthday Party DVD.
Oh, how nice it was for a few days to turn back the hands of time.
Bill seemed to get a brust of addreline...he talked quite a bit...ate very well...stayed up way more hours than on average...smiled alot...and was as sharp as a whip...a pleasure for all of us to see how well he is...now I hope it lasts.
We said Good Bye and promised to see each more often. Thanks for coming & love ya lots.

So much for global warming...hell froze over !!!!
Who Dat...................
We are so happy to have enjoyed the Saints win the Super Bowl !!
We had the whole gang here and Bill stayed up in his lift chair and his wheelchair for the entire game. No emotion shown during the game he just quietly enjoyed all the yelling and celebrating of each play. Greg helped us out when a play was about to happen he would yell "look at the TV". Well by the second half he didn't need to get anybodies attention we were all eyes on the TV.
When the game ended....Greg was holding Maddie....I was holding Natalie....Lori jumped up and hugged & kissed her Dad....Then Tina took hold of the wheelchair and was dancing around with Bill....Bill only moved his right hand with the index finger extended to the music....but the smile...was one we will not soon forget.....it's been 2 years since we have seen him that happy.
Everybody was wearing anything they owned Saints. Some wore just shirts, others just hats, Victoria has the entire cheerleader suit. Best of all........everybody was excited and wearing huge Who Dat smiles.
I had my usual shrimp boil, Greg said he needed that New Orleans feel, so he brought Popeyes chicken & sides, Lori made us her delicious hot tamales. We ate well and a good time was had by all.
Much thanks to family & friends for the Care packages, they made us feel like we were really in the game and right at home. We even got a delicious king from Julie & the girls. We have lots of newspapers and will be reading them for a long time.
Maurice sent a note telling his story of how he got tickets and he & Nancy were going to Miami. We spoke to him on Saturday and he said it was crazy there too. He said the thinks he could explode with joy and excitement.
During the game and after we all got so many text messages & phone calls everybody telling us about what was going on in the city and in their neighborhoods. Texans even got in on the excitment.
Our next door neighbor Bob was our first phone call...he called to say that last big play he sent Sean Payton that message. The Saints thank you for your help. He was so happy for the Saints to win.
Rick called to say in Metairie after the game everybody ran out of their houses. If they horns they blew them. If they had fireworks they were shooting them. If nothing else they were just yelling and celebrating. Rick & his krewe headed for the Quarter only to be stuck in a very happy gridlock.
Julie described it as a evacuation in reverse....everybody trying to get into the city.
Don & Darlene said the garbage days were pushed back and school closed and they had applied for a block party permit and they live in Pearl River.
Babes said the noise and fireworks where crazy in Baton Rouge at Mike's house, too.
Shirley sent us 3 very nice pieces of art to frame and hang so we can always remember the day our family celebrated the Saints winning the Super Bowl !!
My favorite memory ....was after all the celebrating of the win. The room quieted down. Lori with a burst of excitement announced she just got a text message that there will be a parade on Tuesday for the Saints. Let's go home she yelled.
Bill yelled back....let's go !!!
Thanks Saints for the memories.

Advice to all.......
Simple..........
Love, whoever you love, man, woman or children. Love them harder, kiss and hug more often, go for longer rides and just listen to the music your hearts are making because you took the time out of your busy life, just to cherish each other a little more often. Celebrate each other more often. Make more Valentine Day's.
I worked with a lady years ago at Prudential, Margaret Hughes, she is a realtor. I wanted something special to give to Bill for our anniversary. She suggested I give him a day timer with special notes about memories shared and cute little love notes. I did it....it was such fun to think and remember 365 loving thoughts that we shared over the years. You know like on the dates your children were born something special from that day that maybe only the two of you shared. When I started I filled in the special occassion dates first those were easy. Once I got started it just rolled along. I would be driving, working, grocery shopping and all of a sudden I would think of the most special love note that I couldn't wait to get home to write it in Bill's daytimer for next year. I don't know how much of the book he read...he never mentioned it much but I cannot tell you what good marriage therapy it was for me. So now I look back and wish I had done more things like that and taken more time to tell him how happy I am he came into my life.
I'm sitting here crying while writing so I guess this must be therapy too. I don't miss Bill, because I still have him. But I miss the life we had together ...........so much. I just feel the need to tell everybody don't take that wonderful life for granite. Celebrate it everyday day. Make more memories together. They help me get thru the hard days.
I guess the lirics from "Live like your Dying" mean alot more to me now. Also a song I always loved to hear the Nobles play but I never knew why I loved it so much, " I'm lonely but nobody know it but me". Oh, the best the George Jones song, "He stopped loving her today". Years and years ago, I was sitting in a bar in one of those old hotels on Tulane Ave., back when they were OK. They had karioke night, The Mag 7 and were sitting, drinking and singging along, when this guy came up and sang that song I had never heard it before and I started crying. It is a very sad song of a very deep love lost.
Oh great it's 7:30AM and I already need my anti-depressant pill....oh, can you tell.
Love Ya Lots

I enjoyed this so much I'm passing it on..........
On facebook...a Noble friend Glenn Accardo shared this thought:
If you watch the movie Jaws backwards.........
it's the story of a whale that is sick and pucks up people,,,,,,,,,,
he gets so sick........they have to build him a beach !!!!!!!!!
Think about it.
No news same old ........same old..........just another day. No progress in physical activity in fact it seems he has regressed back to maximum assist on transfers. Appetite not as good as usual. Still not much to say and voice is not much more than a whisper.
On a lighter note: Towne Lake had a car show they got 98 cars in spite of the cold weather. Bill really enjoyed it we went up and down the rows several times. He really knows his makes and models even. Go figure you just never know which pieces are missing. We thought of Dean...he & Bill attended a few car shows together and they had a blue truck alot like Dean's but a slightly older year. The oldies were playing and for a little while it felt good, like the old days. Bill had a good time and we talked alot about the cars.

Merrry Christmas & Happy New Year to all !!!!
Well we went home for a Murray family wedding. Oh my gosh, it so exceeded our expectations. Due to time we had to drive straight there without the usual night over at Isle of Capri in Lake Charles. Bill did great....enjoyed the trip even with rain all the way home. The family was great the rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception we attended it all and Bill had a ball. On Saturday evening we had a family get together at Bill's Mom's home. Shirley brought the left over wedding food. So we just continued the party another day. Sunday we came home nice to get away and nice to get home. I think this was the easiest trip home yet for us. Maybe the seven brothers and sister and spouses all helping us had something to do with it. It was a wonderful Christmas surprise, thanks to all who helped with making it easy and special once again.
Sorry we had the Saints loss....so it was not a perfect trip. Otherwise it was great !
Then on eve of Christmas Eve we got a huge Christmas surprise. Long story short...we are now the proud parents of 2 Bichon Frise dogs. Yes, you heard it right here on the blog...so it must be true. We have not been dog people of many years. I know it is a shock. But for about the last 10 years....I have been thinking about a Bichon. Bonnie & Mike Weibel have one and Bonnie said if we ever got a dog....get a Bichon. At Gulf South Title a lady across the hall from our office had a Bichon ....she also said only get a Bichon. When Bill was in the hospital he enjoyed the therapy dogs coming to visit. After we moved we talked more about it than ever. We are both home all of the time and it will be company for us. So I say a ad in the newspaper for adult Bichons. Maggie age 12 was sleeping over ....she got so excited about the prospect of a dog for us.....So I said to her let's just call and get the information. An hour later the owner said he would deliver them on Christmas Eve from Beaumont Texas since I told him I would have a problem making the 5 hour round trip. He delivered these dogs as puppies. He has been the only owner and loves his (sisters) he calls them. They are nine years old....Yea, I know what you're thinking they are so old....and so are we ! So far it looks like a good thing.
After I talked to the owners and got over the idea of a older dog. I realized it was the puppy thing that always made me back off. He said Bichons live to be at least 16 years. I'm not sure Bill and I will make it that long but if we do we may be over the whole do thing. That would put us and 74-75 years old our selves. Wish us luck as new dogie parents.
The children love it and just had a ball with them. Lori & Vic and their girls slept over Christmas Eve and Dixie one of Lori's dogs is only 1 year, she really gave them a run for the money. I don't think the Bichon's knew what to think but they just joined the party from the get-go. Maggie took them for a walk around the lake on a lease. She said they were so good to walk. It has been too cold since we got them for us to even walk to the mailboxes. We are not sure how they will walk with the wheelchair. Since they have adjusted to everything else we have thrown at them. Seven granddaughters and one grand dog, a new house and new owners but we are all adjusting to our new toys. I think it will be fine. So I guess our Texas family just grew.
Morgan and Tabatha owner just called to check up on his sisters and be reassured his girls are OK. How sweet is that. Happy New Year to all......

Old friends......................
We got a Christmas surprise about 10 days ago. Don & Darlene Sixkiller came to visit us. Funny how it is with old friends....you may not see them for years...but when you do its like time just waited for you to catch up. We have a mother-in-laws tongue plant that they to us when Greg was born. Now that's old friends.
They enjoyed the many pictures Bill has hanging in the new house. Shhhh....I got him a photo album for one of his Christmas gifts so we can make a book with all the pictures he had hanging in the old house. When people come to visit it will be easy to look at the book. Maurice made Bill a collage of old & new Nobles pictures. Danny Sensebe made him a collage of old Nobles pictures.
Don lost all of his pictures in Katrina. If anybody has extra pictures with Don in them. Call us we will get you guys together.
We had a shrimp boil...just like back home in Nawlins ! The visit was only for a afternoon but it was a nice Christmas Surprise. They will be back for 4 days for Carnival 2010. Yea !
Bill didn't talk much but he was happy to listen to old stories. When they got here Bill said to Don....let's go to Rocky's. That's the same thing he told Don in the hospital. Maybe one day !

Christmas is coming....and so is a update !
Well it has been awhile since I updated because I have no real update. Therapy did not work out so we are back to me & you kid. It's OK we are hanging in there. Until I get something to say about Bill's condition I will just let you know what's up in Texas. Assume no news is good news.
Sunday we celebrated Christmas with Lori, Vic and the girls at the Towne Lake Lodge. It was simple but sweet. They had Santa and Mrs. Clause which I don't see often. We took lots of pictures...I'll see if I can someone to show me how to add pictures to the blog when I get them.
We ordered Pizza and Pizza rolls and made cookies. They left early for home.
And shortly after leaving they came back. They saw Greg coming down the street so they all came back. It was Lori,Vic,Shelby,Maggie,Vickie,Greg,Tina,Macy,Marley and Maddie.
Bill had just gone to bed I asked do you want to get up again to see them...his answer is Maddie here. I said yes and we got him up....that's why we are in Texas.
I smoked a turkey in our new smoker that Lori & family gave us for Mother & Father's Day. It was now done and cooled Greg carved and we all feasted on turkey sandwiches. They all left and once again it was back to me & you kid.
Next week we have a Murray wedding and will be making a quick trip home. Victoria is in the wedding. Lori, Victoria, Bill and I will leave on Thursday morning and drive straight home. It has to be a quick one this time....so we will be driving straight back on Sunday.
Greg and Tina and their 3 babies will be driving half way on Wednesday and the other half on Thursday to give the girls a break. We are all going to be staying with MawMaw.......look out MawMaw we're coming your way. Just kidding she is already cooking all of Bill's favorites. Another memory in the making.

Rehab at home today was very painful for Bill. His left hip is very stiff and the therapist is trying to get it working but it hurts. Today Bill had physical therapy sitting on the sofa in the den. Lots of reaching for bottles of water on the floor. He had to pick them up and put them on the end table. It was a pretty big stretch and after a few times he told Mike the therapist. How about we just leave them on the floor. He's still got that sense of humor working for him. He has been very quiet for a few days. He didn't say a peep during the whole Saints Game.....I on the other who know nothing about the game.....screamed the whole time. I don't know why I am suddenly this big Saints fan.............I think I am just being a fair weather fan. Babes said back in the summer that he thought this would be the year the Saints go to the Super Bowl......we laughed and now are hoping more than ever that he is right. I want a Drew Brees shirt and a couple of those mouth guards that help them with balance and better flexibility . That may be just what Bill needs to pick that water up off the floor.
Go Saints all the way !!!!!
Go Saints all the way !!!!!
Well it is November second today.
Halloween night We had a great night at Greg's house.....Lori brought the Sno Wizard etc.... She gave away lots of snoballs a first for a lot of Texas kids and parents. Greg had 18 pizzas for the party and gave away 50 lighted swords, 50 lighted small swords, 50 light up rings for the girls, they were all gone in no time. Then we all brought candy and trinkets. Greg's neighbor Alex and his family brought Sangria his mom makes it with fresh fruit. Tina's family gathers there and our family gathers there and a good time is had by all. That's why we are in Texas.....Bill enjoyed himself without Sangria just being with family and friends.
News Bulletin......we are going to be great grandparents. Yep it is a surprise and we are all shocked still but late January or early February Abby .....Lori oldest and our first granddaughter who is 20 and will be 21 in January will be having a precious baby child.....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Bill wants a boy....I'm playing it save a hoping for a healthy baby. Lori cannot believe she is going to be a grandmother. I remember that feeling. Now we are shocked that we are going to be great grandparents.........that shit is for old people. How did this happen to two nice young people like us.
Therapy update. The therapist that comes to the house is only working with Bill in the bed. He feels Bill is too stiff to try anything else. He is recommending I get him to a REHAB doctor and have his meds checked. I will work on that ASAP. Also, after checking into TIRR Rehab center. Long story short they do not accept any Medicare Advantage plans. I have a neighbor that is a nurse and helps with such insurance questions with me. She says if we change to straight Medicare. We pick up 20% and thinks it could run in the $100,000's for TIRR. The facility is in the Medical plaza which I have been told is between 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours on Interstate from our house. It is very intense therapy lasting from 1 hour to as much 3 or 4 hours depending how many types of therapy such as speech, occupational, physical etc. It is 5 days a week . I need help to get him in the car at home. They provide help to get him out and back in afterwards. Then I need help at home to get him back in the house. Bill does not travel well in the car. He cannot adjust his position and cannot maintain a comfortable position for very long. So he is a hand full for me in the car alone. Taking all things into consideration and after talking to a few people, I do not think Bill is at a stage that he can endure this schedule even is he got accepted into the program. I have also been advised that I would not be able to handle it. He has now been in physical therapy for the better part of the last twenty months. The ups and downs give my heart hope but in my mind, my eyes tell me it isn't happening. He has no muscles left....they are so weak.
It is so strange. When he works with a therapist or even the doctors we go see both in New Orleans and now here in Texas. They never express any opinion on his physical condition. They have nothing to say to me either. It's like they don't see it and I'm left to try to figure out what to do for him. Bill has very little strength in his legs. My chiropractor who has been with Bill and I for years. Explained it to me like this...when you have a stroke....some things die immediately from the damage. Other things are injured but will die slowly and over a long period of time. He is the only one that helped me know what we are now facing.
When I the QUEEN....I will have a doctors assistant who will work with the care givers and help guide them through the maze. It is quite a burden to have to make all of these decisions without any professional guidance. It is also very frustrating every time someone comes along a you get all excited about something they tell you about only to find out they are ill informed.
The roller coaster rides again. Up and down up and down up and now down again.
Halloween night We had a great night at Greg's house.....Lori brought the Sno Wizard etc.... She gave away lots of snoballs a first for a lot of Texas kids and parents. Greg had 18 pizzas for the party and gave away 50 lighted swords, 50 lighted small swords, 50 light up rings for the girls, they were all gone in no time. Then we all brought candy and trinkets. Greg's neighbor Alex and his family brought Sangria his mom makes it with fresh fruit. Tina's family gathers there and our family gathers there and a good time is had by all. That's why we are in Texas.....Bill enjoyed himself without Sangria just being with family and friends.

Today was the most spectacular day.....cool temps....blue Sky. So Bill & I hit the streets.
We visited the home on the original lot we had chosen back in December of 2007. We were lucky enough to meet the man & his daughter. Just one man lives there alone. He looks to be about 80. He said he is not ready for the club house yet but is interested in bridge. We are trying to talk everybody into BINGO. We are having difficulty these days even wanting to go. We only have 4 regulars and if anybody can't come on a given day we just cancel. It's just not fun to play BINGO with a small group. We want big pots of money.
The house is smaller than where we are and the lot that looked so inviting on the map....is just OK. The house sits just a little in the wrong direction and water view we were dreaming of is not as good as we envisioned.
So once again....we got a break on being happy with our builder inventory home we bought.
Sunday night we had dinner with Greg and family Bill picked Fuddruckers Hamburgers. His appetite is still very good and we really enjoyed going out. I woofed down my burger first so I got to hold Maddy while Greg and Tina ate. She still has not cried she just squeaks.
Macy and Marley are so good they just either sit at the table or play in the area right by us. They both love their PawPaw and he just aglow when he is getting his hugs and kisses. We now have seven....count them seven granddaughters Lori 4 Greg 3. They are the spark that keeps us going.
Bill is now back in home therapy for another six weeks. The insurance will only approve more if he shows improvement. I don't think he will get it but I am still hopeful. Next Monday we are going back to having a sitter. Four hours on a Monday. I am getting a long list again of things I need to catch up on...mostly car stuff...inspection expires Saturday, Oil change, car wash OMG...I've been hauling garden plants, compost, mulch, pavers all in the car. It is the worst it has ever been. I also think I need to establish with a Toyota dealer here. I am coming up on 30,000 miles and I think that is a big one for maintenance.
Abby still comes to allow me to grocery shop and get stuff for the garden to work on the following week. But there are only so many things I can do in the late afternoon and evening. I also need to get to the doctor no problem. Just a check up in the office. The therapist wants us to see a rehab doctor. He thinks his meds need to be adjusted for spastisity. He is very tight and can't relax. He feels that is a problem in therapy. So we have to start with the primary care physician referral. He also is recommending a place here called Tier. It is a rehab facility for patients like Bill. He thinks if we can get a referral from a Rehab doctor they may provide a van the pick us up and bring us home. If not we will use the sitter for help with transporting. I'll keep you with a follow of all that soon.
We are OK.................

Once again sorry....I forget my password
Bill & I had a great weekend.......Lori planned for us to go see her girls horse race on Saturday evening early. Lori came to our house to pick up Bill, Maggie, Vickie and I. Then it was her night to work the concession, so she traded half of her time with another lady so she was able to be with Bill and I.
It was a cool fall night and the country air felt very refreshing. Shelby, Maggie and Victoria are all in first place within their age groups. First place wins a saddle....Lori said this would be a first for the riding club if the same family won three age groups. The season goes to December.......that's a long time away.
We had not been to see them ride since Mardi Gras 2008. Wow....they have improved so much. Maggie is a wild woman on that horse....she goes wide open she's got the need for speed and scares us to death.
Shelby is more into form than speed and is beautiful to watch while still winning for speed and accuracy.
Victoria is amazing to see that little bittie thing control that huge horse so effortlessly. Vic gets very little free time as he is busy helping the girls between races and rounding them up for their competions. We were only there from 6:00PM to 9:00PM. It was getting cold and Greg was waiting at his house to come over and get Bill into bed for the night.
We even got to eat out. The club moms and dads do the cooking and the food is really very good. We enjoyed chili, fries and hamburgers. I was a real treat.
When we got home Greg said he and Tina were going to come over on Sunday for a visit. Yea....a double header. So I boiled 5 pounds of shrimp with potatoes, brussel sprouts, corn, mushroom and celery and enjoyed dinner with Greg, Tina, Macy, Marley and Maddie. Greg got a motor boat for his birthday and took Bill and the girls over to the lake in Townelake where they enjoyed the beautiful weather. Tina and I got the shrimp boil and drinks ready for when they got home.
Maddie is a very good baby and just squeaks ...I've not heard her cry. Macy is the perfect little lady always so sweet. She is always very attentive to her Kutzie and PawPaw. When the kisses are given out the first goes to Bill whether he is in bed or the wheelchair, she manages to get him his kiss. Marley on the other hand...is the comedian in the group. She never fails to keep us laughing. But you have to catch her to get a kiss.
Can you tell Bill and I really enjoyed our weekend ! Indulge a proud grandma for a minute......Thanks Ruby

Last week Bill had his therapy assessment. This week he will meet a new physical therapist and a new occupational therapist. Wish us luck with that...know what the difference is...I didn't. OT is above the waist ...PT is below the waist. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. I'm not looking forward to it...It's very hard to watch...but it is the only chance to improve his recovery......we have to try again. If I can just get him to help enough to get in and out of the car....wow what a difference it would make.
Hey, Bryan gut the cable wire again this week. Last time it was our neighbors. This time it was ours. We were without phone, computer and TV for 3 days and 2 nights. It was like being on a camping trip. We played you say a line of a song and I'll say the next line. Bill was great....I think he won. Yea, well that's how we fell asleep the first night.........after that it got harder. By Sunday afternoon we were really in withdrawal....big time.
Now we have all our stuff working and it feels very warm & fuzzy again.

OMG......Bill got the biggest surprise in the mail a few days ago. It was put together by a real man among men. The box had 2 Nobles hats, 3 Nobles shirts, can coolers, promo flyers, a pin from the birthday bash The Nobles had at the House of Blues but best of all a very special....DVD of highlights of the U S history of the past 50 years and including The Nobles Band history through pictures of the past 50 years. I can only imagine the hours that went into preparing this DVD. Maurice thanks for the memories.
It moved us in every way possible. First we laughed at all the hair everybody had 50 years ago and how much weight we have all found in 50 years, we sang along to songs we had not heard in 50 years but somehow knew all the words, we had some very sad memories of friends we lost along the way, but the most special thing in the DVD were the very oldie but goodie memories from the good old days growing up and old with The Nobles Band for the past 50 years.
I cried, Bill was very quiet. He sat there with the biggest smile on his face as we viewed the amazing DVD that Maurice Trosclair put together for him in honor of his Lifetime Achievement Award. THE NOBLES band has now been together for 50 years. For 48 years Bill lived for that band and all of it's member that passed through it.
All gave something to the band.....some in coming others in going. Some stayed for many years others were just passing through on their journey elsewhere.
I met Bill in September 1961 at Fortier High School. I knew from the time I met him....he had another love in his life that I would have to be willing to share him with.......The Nobles Band. I know Nancy and all of the other band wives will know what I'm talking about it's a mixed curse and blessing.
We worked that out and I stayed out of his band business. It worked well for us for 46 years. Now we are retired from that part of our life. He is finally all mine and I no longer have competition. The torch has been passed to another worthy man.
But I took it for granite that his band friends were also our friends. Now we both get great comfort from calls, cards, email, blogs and visits from our band family. Many of you have stuck with Bill and I in good times and now still are with us in sad times.
Thanks to you all for being you.......Especially you Maurice you are the best friend ever.

Hey Bonnie...I'm not sure why but I couldn't reply. So I'll do it here. We also are surprised to have so many grandchildren. But it is the joy of our lives to see those precious babies. Abby is the oldest she is now 20. Thank goodness for Abby she comes over on Wednesday after work to stay with her Paw Paw. That gives me the opportunity to go to the grocery, Sam's, or Walmart. The last few weeks I have only been going to the Houston garden center. I have hauled 142 plants in the back seat and trunk of our car. Also eight bags of compost. This week she is coming tonight to sleep over. I will go get 8 bags of mulch. I need 8 more plants that I am not able to find. I have a Mexican guy helping us to find them. Then next week I will start hauling pavers to outline the garden edge to keep the grass out. It is dirty work but I enjoy it and it helps me pass the time. It's also my therapy.
I hope we will see you guys also, it would be fun. We have a guest room for ya'll any time. Just call we'll leave the light on for you.
Bill has just this week made some progress in the left elbow area. He had slight movement in the shoulder and the hand but nothing in the elbow. So 19 months out he is still making improvements. He has a very long way to go but we never give up. We are hoping to get home in December for a family wedding.

I don't know what the odds would be on this in Vegas but on Thursday we got our seventh granddaughter. That means our daughter has four girls no boys and our son now has three girls no boys.
All seven are healthy and wonderful and we are very blessed to have them. Her name is Madeline and she will be called Mattie. She weighed 6 lbs 7 ozs. She is 20 inches long with black hair, blue eyes and dimples. We will get to see her either Sunday or Monday. Bill asks alot of questions about her like details of who she looks like.
Otherwise same old, same old from Houston. We have dropped out of the activities at the club for a week or so Abby our 20 years old granddaughter and her boyfriend Bryan have been working on planting the back gardens for us. The same family that did the hard scape was supposed to do it but they said they had a emergency and I never heard back from them. Bryan did a very professional job. Everything looks so small but now we can just sit back and watch the garden grow. Yesterday Bill was watering the plants.....so he has a new job and he enjoys it. Till....................

OMG......
Bill's good luck continued tonight. We had dinner for lunch and a late lunch of pizza. I left Bill in the bed to go cook the frozen pizza for 25 minutes. I sliced the pizza and poured him a cup of ice tea. When I got to the bedroom.....Bill was on the floor on his knees. He was holding on to the nightstand with his right hand and luckily the medium size trash can was holding his chest up. His left side was still leaning on the bed. I called Greg to get him up and back into the bed.
Good news he was not hurt nor did he fall........he said he just slid out onto the floor on his way to the bathroom. I didn't know he could roll over without the bar to pull on....I wish I could have seen how he did it but now I know I can't leave him with the rail off on the left side anymore.
Who knows maybe it's a good thing..............maybe he is getting stronger. Just another dip on the roller coaster to keep me on my toes.
