Place: Richardson Comments: Paul - I'm glad Melissa was able to be there this week to help. Also, good news Kathy's recovering is going well. I can't even imagine what you're going thru Paul, but will always keep you in my prayers for you to beat this crap and come back strong a sever. You are definitely a fighter! ![[thumb]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif "Thumb - :thumb:") Don and I are doing pretty good. Each day is new and sometimes challenging, but then, life is a challenge . . . isn't it. ![[rolleyes]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes - :rolleyes:") God Bless the Class of '66!!
Place: Edmond Comments: Sandy, Kathy’s surgery went really well and she is recovering nicely. Melissa is here until tomorrow and has been a tremendous help. I am hanging in there. This new chemo is definitely more potent than the stuff I started with. I trust you and Don are doing well.
Place: Richardson Comments: Paul - How is Kathy? Hopefully the surgery went well and she is home. When you get a chance let us know. I believe you said y'alls dtr was coming to your house to help Kathy & you this week. Hope you are hanging in there as well.
Place: Richardson Comments: Thanks Don, and yes, we are all very proud of her. You have a pretty good memory Don, as my dad passed 10 yrs ago this past March. My brothers first name is Jack. His middle name, not a nickname, is Oje. It's pronounced like the two initials, O.G. For whatever reason I've called him Oje as long as I can remember. Long weird story about how he got that middle name! LOL LOL Oje, his wife and their son are all doing well. And obviously, so is their dtr, Laura. ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)")
Place: LV, TX Comments: Sandy - Those were some very nice pix you posted and your niece is a lovely young lady. I'm sure you and your brother are very proud of her. What's her plan for the near future - teaching, major? At the reception several years ago near Crawford when your dad passed, you introduced me to your brother, but his nickname (Odie?) escapes me at the moment. I hope he's doing well these days.
Place: Richardson Comments: Well there were some real winners on those signs Don. Had to laugh a little harder in a few!!
Place: LV, TX Comments: I want to 2nd Paul's motion in wishing ALL our moms out there a very Happy Mother's Day! That includes all those who are fortunate enough to still have their moms with them, or daughters who've now become moms. I tried to get Kathy out of the house today - now that the sun finally came out and the rain dried up for a change. But, she insisted on me grilling steaks later this afternoon, so I've got my orders. Y'all know how it goes: "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" And, for those of you familiar with El Arroyo Mexican Restaurant in Austin (about 25 mi. SE of us), here's a link to one of their legendary signs, fit for this day. I know there's an even funnier one, but this will have to do for now: https://www.google.com/search?q=el+arroyo+mothers+day+message&tbm=isch&source=hp&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjE0P_70ZbiAhUI0awKHZ9JDFgQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1536&bih=710#imgrc=NP1AboteKwLVzM:
Place: Edmond Comments: Congrats to all our grads
Place: Sunny Richardson Comments: Yesterday was a great day for our family. My niece, Laura, graduated from Texas Woman's University with her Masters Degree. There was a family celebration dinner later that evening. Here are 3 photos that capture the day. Unfortunately I can't get the pics to post BUT, click on each link and the photo will appear. the 1st one is her close group & she is the tall blonde in the center. In the 2nd she is 3rd from the left and my favorite . . . she & her dad, my brother, at dinner. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60284581_10213926008966789_2933227582428020736_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=f46c720ecd7d2c48bc82b9b5fc1dd87d&oe=5D63A878 https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60019289_10213926011926863_1363670692213555200_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=eb1b5084ac9773120761e6e72b02fb52&oe=5D75694F https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60293484_10213926021287097_3837374681350930432_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=314b50258337410726c4ff6c3a9f8959&oe=5D6DA622
Place: Edmond Comments: Happy Mother’s Day to all our SOC moms and in fact happy wishes to all the SOC ladies—moms or not—who have graced our lives. Thanks, ladies, for making our world a better place.
Place: LV, TX Comments: OK, gang - yes, 'GOT' = 'Game of Thrones'. No one's ever mentioned anything about it on the GB, so I had no idea if anyone else in our group watched this HBO series, besides Kathy & me. There was a pretty humorous blooper in last week's episode that neither of us noticed, until Kathy read about it the next day. Apparently, some hawkish fan caught it - I don't know how, at normal viewing speed. It was a small item and in plain sight of all the actors, set crew, director, and film editing staff - but missed, until after the episode was televised. Rick touched on it in his 2nd post below. Following a major medieval, fantasy-world battle, the 'good guys' were gathered around a table in rustic surroundings to celebrate their victory, drinking grog and wine from metal cups & horns of oxen. Someone forgot to remove their Starbucks cup from the table prior to filming the scene: https://mashable.com/video/starbucks-cup-spotted-in-game-of-thrones-episode/ Your may not watch or care for GOT - that's fine, but they've done OK since 2011: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&authuser=0&ei=lVjXXNbNMuyvrgT2pqPoCw&q=game+of+thrones+awards&oq=game+of+thrones+awards&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i71l8.0.0..7454...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz.qx7bqnR8Ay4
Place: Edmond Comments: Also, Happy Birthday to James Kidd. 🎂🥳
Place: Edmond Comments: Thanks for the kind sentiments, Don. Fortunately, our daughter flew in today from Arizona which will be a great help next week during “the proceedings.” Kathy has had it really rough so let’s just get that gall bladder OUT. 👨⚕️😷.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Well, Paul - I was hoping you'd actually get a break between this chemo cycle and the next. But, I hear gall bladder attacks are pretty danged unpleasant. So, if Kathy has been putting up with a bad one, we can certainly include her in our prayers for an uneventful removal procedure on Tue. & recovery afterward.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Belated H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to James Kidd for 5/9! |
