It’s time to start blogging again. I think everyone is well again, for the time being. The flu has hit our area, and our house, hard this year. Hubby was on the verge of pneumonia before he finally went to the doctor. The regular doctor referred him to a pulmonary specialist. Since Hubby couldn’t answer the questions I had for him on the regular doctor’s visit, I decided to go with him to the specialist. They worked him in the very next morning. The pulmonary doctor had a sense of humor and I really liked his bedside manner. When Hubby told him he had been smoking for about 40 years (actually it has been longer, but who’s counting) the doctor asked Hubby if he was ready to quit. Hubby answered with a question, “Why?” The doctor and I looked at each other incredulously and we both chuckled. If the doctor hadn’t been standing there I would have told Hubby how idiotic that question sounded. Actually, I think Hubby may have been afraid the doctor saw something scary on the x-ray. Personally, I’m glad he needed chest x-rays for his infection because the thought had crossed my mind, as well. Anyway, after lots of medications, repeat x-rays, and another trip to the doctor, he is looking and sounding much better. All the kids were sick with high fever, headache, and sore throat. And they didn’t all have it at the same time. Needless to say, I’ve been too busy to get sick.
I’m busy planning a birthday party for the soon-to-be four year old. She wants a “Hello Kitty Tea Party.” The weather has been very nice and I’m hoping to have it in my back yard. So I’m grooming my garden. It feels good to get back outside to work again. It got up in the 80’s the last couple of days.
The older two children have earned their red belts in Taekwondo. We are hoping they will get their black belts before too long. It’s getting harder now but they are both doing well.
Hubby and I joined a gym again. I’ve gone to a couple of spin classes and I hope to start cycling again. I have a friend who has caught the bug so I will have a riding partner.
I’ll end this catch up session with a quote from my little granddaughter. She is a lot of work but she sure makes me smile. A few days ago she was singing and dancing around the family room. I was reading and was barely paying attention to what she was doing. She’s constantly dancing and singing. Suddenly, she stopped and told me, “Grandma, God is so happy in my heart to see me dancing!” Wow, out of the mouth of babes.
