Small Park

 As usual I'm still into the college basketball games with not many games until the big tournament.

Nancy is doing a little better but still very weak.  She pushes herself to do some work but tires very easy. 

I guess we are getting old but, that should not be any reason for getting so tired as we do.

                                                     

I did get out the other day to see some of the Gulf water at a small park behind the Walmart store where I did a little shopping.

                                                    

It sure did feel good with the spring type breeze coming off the water.

It is so soothing to look out upon the waters.

It doesn't need to be an ocean, it can be a river, or lake even a small creek with a waterfall.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

           

Happy Valentine's Day

 Yes its that time of year did you remember to get you loved one a box of candy or some flowers.

If you go to any of the stores I don't see how anyone could forget to by anything with the way they have the flowers and candy stacked up right in the door as you enter.

I do hope you have a wonderful day with that special person.

Well , I now know when I'm scheduled to go into the hospital for my cath.  It will be on March 2 and if the Doc finds anything he will go ahead and take care of it while he is in there looking it all over.

I'm still all caught up on my College Basketball games with most of the teams having just six more games before the Tournaments.

I'm still doing a few things around the house plus now since Nancy isn't feeling well I have her few things to take care of.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Mostly Doctor appointments

I still have not heard anything from my Cardiologist when he is going to do the catheterization procedure.

When I left the office the only thing they said was that it would be on a Wednesday or Friday and they would call and let me know. 

I guess I may have to call them, sometimes that happens with doctors.

                                                                 

Nancy had us some pinto beans with onions and slaw the other day .  She always leaves it up to me do do the slaw.

I did get around to repair the leaking faucets in the bathtub.  I put the new nobs and the trim on.

I'm still going up to the storage place where we have the motor home to do small things in it.

The solar that I have its the batteries fully charged.

Nancy had a fall in the house the other day that gave her a few bruises.  So I guess she will be sore for a while.

Still keeping up with the college basketball games for a season the has a new number one every now and then.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

              

 

Cardiologist Report.

                                                                  

Monday I when to see my Cardiologist to see what all my blood work and the rest of the things I had showed up anything.  The doctor said that it looked like there is a restriction in the blood flow and that he would have to do a catheterization procedure to see what its all about.

Now I'll have to wait until I get a call on when to go into the hospital to have it done.

I'm in hopes that will up me not to get so tired after I do a little work time.  Its no fun taking two days of work to do one day of work.

Anyway everything on the college basketball front is looking good.  Still a lot of upsets going on. 

                                                                 

This caught my eye at the Walmart store the other day.

I guess it depends on what side you get the green pepper is what you have to pay.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

Nasty Weather

 Woah Nellie, I was up at 4:50 am this morning due to rain and wind, lots of that stuff and I did not go back to sleep.  That lasted until a little after 9:00 am.

So after breakfast we turn on the tv and the weather guy was reporting about the tornado action in southern Florida.  The thing was that water spouts were forming out in the gulf and forming the tornadoes

when hitting land.  

Tornadoes were doing a lot of damage and one destroyed a trailer park close to Fort Myers area.

Right now we have a temperature of 67* and sunny with low winds.

Wherever you are located please stay safe.

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

 

Getting along

 About the same old grind here but that's the way life is when you get to a certain age.  Not complaining just saying you know what I mean.

Well my time of the year has got off to a good start with the basketball season in full swing and I have to say some of the games have been very exciting.  

Staying at the number one this season of the college basketball rankings is difficult.  Teams that are not ranks are knocking off some of the top ranked teams.

                                                                 

I did finally find time to put a few ribeye steaks on to grill the other day and they turned out pretty good. 

Our weather has turned a bit cool for the nights with the temperature getting in the middle 50's but the day time going up in the 70's so no complaint on the point.

Also I'm slowly--very slowly-- taking care of a few problems with the motor home.

With getting older things seem to take a little longer getting finished, of course going to be 84 in a couple of months may be the reason.   Why doesn't 84 seems as old as when you were in your 30's?

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day. 
  

Getting around

 I guess a lot of people made their New Years resolutions that they will not keep for long. 

I would say there are a lot that will try to go on that diet one more time promising that this time they will stick to it, then failing to do so again.

Nancy and I never have as far as I know made any promises to ourselves as I know of?    We just do as we do.

 We started the New Year right where we left off on the old year with Nancy getting blood drawn for the Nephrologist to keep a check on her.

As for me I have an appointment tomorrow to have an carotid ultrasound for the Cardiologist to see how that part of me is doing.

Yesterday I got into my pattern for the new year by going to a few places.

First up was to Publix to get a few Hungarian Peppers with Publix being the only place to sale them.

The next stop was to pick up Nancy's medication from Walgreens which the Nephrologist called in.

Next was number 3 to "HSN" which i the Home Shopping Network discount store where they have large discounts of leftover and return items.  Like the small two quart air-fryer I bought for Nancy that sold online for $49.95, my price was $13.49. Did not find anything this time

Next stop number 4 Dollar Tree That is going to have to change the store to $1.25 Store, where I picked up as few items. 

Number 5 was Walmart for a few groceries.

The last one was The Salvation Army Store to mostly just to look around without buying anything.

Thaks for stopping by and have a great day.

Anniversary # 65

Yeah, that is not a  typeO.  Nancy and I have been married that long and lasting through the tuff time and good times, we are more in love each day.

We will be staying home this evening instead of going out for dinner, because Nancy hasn't been feeling very well for the last week.  So I think we will get a meal "to go" from Bob Evans.

Also later on in the evening I will be making Cabbage Rolls for tomorrow's meal.  

As you celebrate New Years Eve today and night please be careful.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

Merry Christmas to all

To all of you I really wish that you woke up this morning in good health and feeling like facing the day.

Nancy and I got a gift yesterday seeing Sherry (our daughter) and her husband Mark, That were spending their Anniversary in Daytona Beach come over to visit with us. 

It was so good to see them again.  Thanks Sherry and Mark.

                                                               

Nancy and I usually Have a breakfast each morning, but the other day I spice mine up a little.

By adding Hungarian Pepper, tomato, and Tater Tots it made a good breakfast much better.

Nancy and I will spend a quite day today just relaxing as we do most of the time.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great and safe day.    

 

So, how you been

Nothing exciting has been happening around the old home place.  Well let me back-up a pace or two.

If you have been with me you will know how I really like the college basketball and football games.

So there is my exciting times, I know you may not find that is what you like but we are all different and that is what makes us the people we are.

I have tried playing a round or two of golf and found out that wasn't for me. 

Would you believe that in my teens I even tried my hand or should I say my fists at boxing in the "Golden Gloves".  Well it didn't take me long to find out that this little guy was not going to be a famous boxer.

Nancy and I have been getting some of the things that we wanted for Christmas and we know Christmas time is a special time of the year, but we get what we want anytime of the year and we really do not want very many thing anyway.

Thanks for stopping by and have a geeat day.

 

More of seeing Doctor.

 Yeah. where have I been?  

Nowhere I guess I've just kind of lazy.

I'm having more than usual doctor's appointments being started with my Cardiologist to get the old heart checked out good, which I have not since my second heart attacked in 2015.

I went this morning early to have a heart monitor put on and I will go early in the morning to return it for the Doctor to see if all is ok or not. 

I went to LabCorp Monday to have blood drawn, which can tell many things going on in the body.

                                                     

In the mean time Nancy has been cooking real good meal for me.

Like the one above with, pinto beans, baked potato, slaw, boneless center cut pork chops and corn bread.

Also its that time of year when football is winding down with the bowl games coming up.

Basketball games getting started good at two to three games a week much to my liking.

So retirement can be as busy as you want it to be or not.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
