So, thank you to all the fam for sending the kids home with money still left in their wallets. They promptly proceeded to buy speakers and a sub-woofer each for their rooms. To say I have heard (and felt) too much bass, along with the same 3 songs played over and over and over and over again would be an understatement. Just to be clear - bass and me - we do not see eye to eye. In fact it is more stomach to eye. I want to puke by about the third song, my stomach is so upset. I wonder what the neighbors think. hmmmm
We also learned some interesting things about Ketchup. Our poor babe is virtually blind. He walks right into things and no longer moves out of the way. He stands in front of the oven, got nailed by the front door today, and is continually getting side-swiped as we just aren't used to him being underfoot. He comes down the stairs part way when prompted, but not the entire way and it is hard to get him to go up. The boys hate walking him as he is very slow and bangs into things (power box) if they are not very diligent. He is still our sweet, lovely dog, but he is no longer the Ketchup we have spent so many years with. My heart is heavy but filled with love for this amazing dog.

The way you have to figure it is that they're trying to drown out the horrible sound coming from your old record player. Play it again, boys!
I feel sad for Ketchup. It doesn't seem so long ago that we boarded a plane with him in a little carry-on. The years sure do fly by. A lady here at the park has a 16 year old dog, the size of a gopher, and she said that you know there's a best before date on them when you get one. It was sad to hear that but it is so true.
Heading to friends for supper tonight. They are leaving for their southern home in two weeks. You can feel the anticipation in the park as people comment on the fact that they will be gone in a month or so. The weather is gorgeous and has been all month. Five weeks today we'll be on a plane heading your way. We are looking very forward to it. We'll have to do some Christmas shopping while we're there.
Had a great couple of days at Jessica's. The girls are so much fun and love to ride their bikes. Avery will have to graduate to a bigger one next year and then she says she'll ride a two wheeler because she'll be five. This is the first year she's really used her bike so she's doing great. Shannon, do you remember the spoon incident at Dairy Queen that you did to your dad? She tried to do it to me, the bum, but it fell off the spoon on the flip back and got her in the hair. I didn't laugh although I wanted to but did take her treat away. Mean Amme! Too fun!
Hope everyone has a great week.
Love to all
Shannon - we too heard and felt way too much base in our living room. Sterling truly put our unit to the test quite a few times. He got grampa to go out and buy a cord of some kind to hook up from our stereo to his phone to play his music. I'm not sure if all the pictures in the living room are straightened around yet because the volume would shake pictures, dishes in the kitchen cupboards, etc :) I had a remote in the kitchen that I could turn it down with and it took awhile before Sterling realized that it was me doing it! I don't mind base but like it to Country Music:) which did not agree with the boys!
Poor Ketchup. I was just over at a neighbors up the street taking her some apples and she said she had to put one of her dogs down. He had a cancer spot on his leg for 6 years and he was in alot of pain and it was time. It is a sad time because they are truly a part of your family. Take care and hugs!
Got to Curves and Line Dancing this week - a little tough seeing some of the ladies for the first time and lots of hugs from lots of them to help me get through. It will feel good to get back into a routine of some sort but it will definetly be hard our first Wednesday not going to see mom. We plan to get together on Friday at our place, have lunch here and then go through all of our cards from everyone. I'm sure there will be tears but we will be together.
Thanks for your calls, texts and notes - much appreciated.
BIG HUGS TO ALL1
