Friday

Got up early so we could meet Barbara's brother Richard and wife Alice. We had a really great time just talking. It was so good to see them. They drove down from Minnesota to visit with Barbara. We ate and visited then we went to visit Aunt Ethel and Uncle Kenny. The will be 91 and 92 in May and June. Both very alert and enjoyed the visit. Barbara did very and seems to be regaining her strength. We did come home and take a nap. Then we had supper is my brother and wife.

Michelle Platt has been a good friend and she went through cancer about 2 years ago so she knew that Barbara would need a wig. So Michelle brought one just for Barbara. She began to loose her hair Three weeks ago. Well today she broke out the wig for her brother. Nice shade of green Michelle

David and Sarah called and told us about the changes to the house they are doing. I am so glad they are making it into their house.

Thursday

Today we closed on our house in OKC. We bought that house in 1990. A lot of memories. We sold it to our son. He and his wife have already begun to make it their house. So the house will get new paint scheme and will be their home. I am so glad for them and proud of them. They still say that we have s room in the back if we need it.

The closing did not go smooth at all. For years I have had USAA insurance and banking accounts. David has also had the same type of accounts with them. So when it came time to get a loan he chose to go with USAA. If you have a couple of hours call me and I will tell you of all the mishaps that happened. I still think they have a great insurance department and we very much like banking with them but I would not recommend them for getting a loan

Anyway Barbara did very well today. She seemed to have more energy. We ate breakfast with David and Sarah and then went to the closing. Then we had lunch because the closing was not finalized. We we were finally finished we headed home but stopped to see Leanna and her students then we stopped in Tulsa to see a Girl Scout friend Karen. We had supper with her. If was good spending time with her. Then we drove home and got here at 8:30. A full day but it was good because Barbara felt good. She was tired when we arrived home but she said she felt good. Hope this is a sign that she is beginning to gain some of her strength back after the chemo and radiation

Wednesday

Pretty slow day. Barbara wanted to go out and visit a friend , leava. We had a good time then came home and took a nap. Then we had lunch with David and then went to shop for food. We came back and had supper with Leanna David and Sarah. Just relaxed.

Our hope is that Barbara will continue to feel good.

Tuesday

Got up this morning we to help my brother get a deck framed in. The are putting a new deck around their pool. We had to hurry and leave because we needed to be in OKC to give blood for testing and to give Dr Parikh a spread sheet of Barbara's blood sugar. We can not keep her blood sugar regulated with her taking steroids.

We made it to OKC in plenty of time. Barbara slept all the time I was at my brothers and most of the trip to OKC.

We got to David and Sarah's at 6 and they received a call from the loan company. We don't close on the house Wednesday but close Thursday So we will stay in OKC an extra day.

We are very thankful for the generosity of our children. They just open their house to us. We enjoy them and like being around them.

We are thankful for friends and the power of prayer

Monday

April fools has come and past. Barbara did not do very well today. She spent time in the bed or on the sofa. She had no energy. We had the cable guy make the tv's work with the remote. Barbara never got of the sofa. She said she didn't hurt She was just tired. Hopefully with a good nights sleep tomorrow will be better.

Thank you for your prayers.

Sunday

Had a good day. Barbara went to church. It was good to see the church friends that have turned into prayer warriors. A couple of the young men in her Sunday School class made it a point to say hello to Miss Barbara

Then we went out to eat with Sonny, Judy, Brian, Leanna, and Ralene. Then we came home and Brian Leanna and Ralene headed back to Oklahoma. We took a nap.

Barbara did real good but she was tired.

I know yesterday's was late in getting out. While painting Brian had covered the dish for our Internet service. Well that meant that we couldn't send anything until we took the covering off this afternoon.

Saturday

Today was a work day. Leanna and Brian are here. Brian came up to paint the facia and soffet boards. We got up and were outside sanding by 7. Barbara for the first time put jeff own shoes on. They are Velcro. She had me buy her new shoes so she could put them on herself.

By 7 tonight we had the painting done. Yes we will have a few little touch up places Sure is nice to have a son in law that is a talented painter.

The house sure looks good. We painted it hunter green. When we have the new roof put on due to the storm it will be hunter green

Even though Barbara rested most of the day she is tired. But Sunday is coming. So tomorrow we get to go to church
