Jamie I'm so glad you and Jerry made it over to see Mom and Dad yesterday! That's so awesome!!! I have been worried for months that something would happen before you got "home" but thank the Lord it didn't! Good Job!! I fixed BBQ ribs for Leisa and family yesterday and it was so delicious! Went to Church today and our Pastor asked last Sunday for everyone to wear red/white/blue today and almost everyone did and it was AWESOME! We of course sang all Patriotic Songs and it was great! It's too hot for me to go to fireworks so I passed on them the last 2 nights they've had them and can't see me going out tonight either! What a fuddy dud!lol Love to all, Judy
Jerry and I got up yesterday morning and drove over to see Mom and Dad..only took us 2hrs and 30 minutes and that was getting stuck behind a couple of slow movers and road construction on 155. Dad didn't know me at first...Linda said "Look who I found in the hall! Do you know who this is?" Dad said NO. Then he said "Jeanie" I said something like that's close! Then Dad said no that's Jamer Cay. He looked good and he did pretty well carrying on conversations..he and Jerry talked about the Cardinals and Albert getting hurt, they talked Army and Jerry retiring and the hot weather. He ate about half his meal..but Linda said he had eaten a big breakfast of sausage and biscuits. He talked about cigarettes and tried to stand up to look for them in his pocket I guess. He was tired after lunch and laid down to take a nap. Mom ate really well...but never really woke up. Can't believe how round her face is..she looked more like Aunt Ernie did when they came to Jonesboro that Summer. She responded to Linda when she talked to her,but I could never really get a response. Jerry was pleased with the facility..thought things were very clean, the staff very attentive and the food looked and smelled good. Their room was clean.. beds made and things picked up. It was a good visit over all and not a bad drive...found the way back onto 94 from 51 so that was good! Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th. We're doing house things today and nothing tomorrow(our little reward for work today)! Love you all, Jamie ps..girls night/weekend in August sounds great! Can't wait!

I laughed out loud about Dad getting his head xrayed when LNC broke his teeth but Jeanie assured me it was NOT a typo!lol She said they DID xray his head! I'm like--can a dentist do that??? I'm thinking the answer is yes!lol I talked to Jamie today and she told me that she was SO glad we did NOT come all the way over to the ceremony on Thursday because it was SOOOOO hot and it wasn't over till 4:30 or 5:00 and their part was only minutes! I think you told me 24 or 27 couples had their 2 minutes of fame too didn't you Jamie~ At least a LOT of other people did show up to congratulate you both! We were there in spirit--right sisters?Happy 4th of July to all!!! Be safe and careful out there!

I went to see Mom and Dad this morning at lunch----that makes no sense, does it?! Oh, well! Anyway, Dad had two big pieces of catfish, fries, slaw, ice cream and a small piece of lemon icebox pie + a piece of bread. He ate dang near every bite! Mom had the same except a HUGE piece of pie + thickened water, strawberry drink, tea and milk! Good grief! She ate nearly every bit of hers + all the fluids! Dad did pretty good except the tired he gets the more confused he gets. Mom told me 'I'd better quit it!" when I was telling Dad to sit down. He did with Debbie's help and said he was so 'swimmy (word?) headed'! And WHY does he not need to stand up!?! I called Beth this morning about the damage to the house---there can be no gains from it and we can't pay the deductible from a Miller's Trust acct! Whatever! She also said that Chad told her for me to just write the check out of Dad's acct to the nursing home-----I'm like YIPES! and said will you put that in writing so that I'll have proof Chad said that! I mean, for real, that's what I told her. I also called and talked to Social Security about the year-end representative payee form that I had to fill out for each of them---did that and have already mailed them back. I also called Higginbotham Dentistry about the bill I got for an x-ray of Dad's head after he broke his dentures and they (LNC) sent hit to the dentist. Ashley finally called me back this afternoon and said the bill belonged to LNC because they told her it would be Medicaid offset and that in no way, shape form or fashion did I owe it! I'm suppose to take it back to Michael Smith and give it to him to ????????. She said if I had any more problems to call her and they'd get involved! So there! LOL! The whole thing is one big hair-splitting thing! I'm serious! Jamie I hope Jerry's retirement ceremony went well. Give him my apology for not being there. Love you all, Jeanie
Count me in on a Sister weekend too! I have no life so can pretty much go whenever!lol Actually I'm going to El Paso in July myself since it's Logan's birthday on the 29th. I'm looking at going around the 25th or so. Just set date for August and it sounds like a go for me. Anxiously awaiting posts of how Mom and Dad are this weekend. Love to all, Judy
