Gruss aus Lake Kiowa

Good Afternoon my beauties and handsome guy!!!! A note to bring you up to date. No, no my dearest Terri---all is well ! I went this morning to get my Colonoscopy---Aside from a couple of small polyps and some diverticulitis which are little pockets in the colon and not at all unusual for my mileage all was well ---I do try to watch my diet and eat stuff like oatmeal------not a lot of fast food or ready cooked freezer meals ----I have got to get serious about losing this weight. I nearly died when I saw how much I weighed, So I have to get serious about it and quit digging my grave with my teeth-----besides you never Know when I might get Sean Connery in as a resident in one of the cozillion Senior citizen centers that employs me-----No I haven't slipped off the deep end----its probably the Versed they give you when they take you to Surgery. WOWEEEWOW---now you see them, now you don't-----they could have cut off my head and I don't think I would have known it. Annie came and got me @ 6:30 this morning and brought me home. She works there and everyone knows her and seems to respect her. She really has her hands full with two little ones, working four days a week so they can have health insurance (and those bleeding hearts that don't want that illegal sent back to a hospital that has agreed to accept him in Mexico make me sick -----They should be sent back with him.) Now where was I? Their new home is about finished--she designed it and they have some really good craftsmen out there as is Stuart and I think they barter with each other for services. The house sits on three acres of land with a fabulous view out a little ways from Muenster. Sarah is happy about being out of Gainesville High School. Also the north end of Gainesville is slowly becoming little Mexico and a lot of the stuff that goes with it----gangs,etc. I made a huge batch of Kahlua Last night which ought to be well seasoned by Christmas if it last that long . My list of recipients keeps getting longer and longer. I may even try my hand at Fruitcake this year and soak it in Rum like I used -----Hey Tom! do you remember the Col's kid that was your friend there in Camp King that spent a lot of time at our house around Christmas and got "blitzed" on eggnog (dad made that with no shortage of rum) and the rum soaked fruitcake. God love him his Mama was dead and his Dad was a Col.and he didn't know what living really was until he started hanging out with you and Mike. I wonder where he is today and if he remembers those good times. So much for today---I'm gonna go cook some cabbage and watch the Olympics. I am only working one place this weekend.May never go back to the Other place and I told the Director,my friend , that I didn't need that kind of aggravation---the cat-fight was on I got there last Saturday and did not let up. So I called Sunday and told them I was having trouble walking--which was the truth and went back to bed and went to work about 2pm at the other facility. I love you guys with all my heart. Stay well and safe, May God Bless and keep you in his warm and loving care and give you the strength you need to get through whatever it is you need to get through. MOMXXXXXXOOOOOO
