Good morning everyone. It was 45 degrees this morning when the sun came up. The Pine trees are really putting on the yellow buds and any day now we will have a deluge of pollen in the air.

We are doing okay this morning, not really on top of everything but we are okay. The fur gang is well looking for someone to take them for a walk. Our neighbor had the last of the forest behind his house cleared, so now the view is unobstructed all the way down the line of houses. It looks different from when we first moved here. All the beautiful Cedar trees that lined the street are gone. It was so beautiful when it snowed to look down the street and see the Cedar trees covered with snow. Now what you see are the lawns and mailboxes.

I got a call from Dr. Flanagan's office yesterday. He hasn't given up on me and wants me to come to his office for more blood work. He is so determined to find something. I know he has other things to do because to get an appointment with him you have to wait for months, but for some reason he is bringing me in often. He asks questions and examines me and looks at the CAT scan, the same one all the other doctors look at and said they see nothing going on. He says all they can see is an enlarged prostate and that is what has him alarmed because mine is so large and the PSA has gone from 8 to 15 and keeps going up. I don't know what to do at this point as he is so persistent.

Okay enough of that business as I need to get started facing the day. I wish everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them

We will see the upper 50's today with some rain. Monday and Tuesday we will be back in the 30's and low 40's. Then we get into a warm spell. We may be in the upper 60's Thursday.

Good morning everyone. It's 45 degrees here in the Deep South. The sun is shinning and the forecast calls for a beautiful day.

I hope all is well with everyone and I wish you a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them

Good morning everyone. It's cloudy with a chance of rain today. It is 53 degrees right now, not bad. We are still not having spring weather. Yesterday it was 70 degrees but today it will be cooler. By Wednesday we will be back in the 50's during the day.

The fur babies are well. Dixie got set up by Lizzie yesterday. We came home from church and on the floor was a Sunday School teacher's book and paper was shredded on the floor next to it. At first glance it looked as if Dixie had chewed the book to pieces so I got onto Dixie and scolded her good. However when I went to clean up the mess the book had not been chewed and the pieces of paper on the floor was a paper towel that had been shredded. So this is how it went down. Lizzie knocked the book to the floor and also the paper towel. Dixie got hold of the paper towel and chewed it but the book was unharmed. So Dixie got scolded while Lizzie watched and am sure she was laughing and saying "Got you".

Sue just walked out the door with Suzie and Dixie while imp has disappeared.

Okay I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.

Good Morning FOOFs

The wife and I took a short weekend trip up to Tarpon Springs for the weekend. We had never spent any time there and stayed at a place called Hickory point RV park. They have a few sites on the water and we were able to get a water site. We really had a good time and didn't want to leave. But, we both had to go to work this morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Here are a couple of pictures, including the fur babies.

Good morning everyone. Just got back from Dr. Flanagan's office, blood work this morning checking PSA. Go back Monday to see what showed up. It's cloudy this morning. but it's not cold. It's 59 degrees here in the Deep South, so a light jacket is all that's needed outside. It sure looks like rain, but so far nothing happening, just low hanging clouds.

The camper is waiting in the back yard for trip to the lake. We haven't been anywhere since we got back from Hilton Head the first week in January. The weekends haven't been that nice as it still feels like winter. We will be in the 50's tomorrow, nope they just changed it to a high of 60 tomorrow.

My neighbor just called and asked if he could come through my driveway to get out of his back yard with his trailer. Being he has allowed me used 12 feet of his property for the past eight years I told him to come on through as many times as he needs.

Okay I need to get moving so I will close for now wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.

Good morning everyone. It was 38 degrees this morning when the sun came up. By the weekend we will be in the mid to high 70's, can't wait. The fur gang is up and well this morning. Suzie is showing her self with Lizzie. Every chance she gets she sneaks up behind Lizzie and scares her out of her wits. Suzie knows what she is doing because you can see the smile on her face after the deed is done.

I hope all is well with everyone and I wish you a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.
