Happy Saturday Morning

Good Morning!

Allison and I went fishing last night down at the river, what a beautiful night! We got down there around 6pm and stayed until almost 9pm. Fishing was slow and I only caught one small fish but it was very relaxing. We are heading to Spokane this morning so Allison and Loni can go shopping, they are going to drop me off at the casino to play in a poker tournament. I will head to Randi and Kauleen's tomorrow and start working for Verizon on Monday. This job is supposed to last for 6 month (we'll see).

Next week Allison will head over on Friday and we have the camp out at Bayview state park. The following week is hunting and I will head home for the weekend of the 11th.

Have a great week!

Wednesday September 24th

Almost the end of September already? Well we are getting booked for October already. Next weekend is the Riehl camp out in Bayview then we have hunting season then ??? I came over to Tom and Mary's yesterday, Dave, Chris and I are going up the Rich Riehls to get a couple of cord of wood we ordered for Tom. I will head home tomorrow or Friday. I am waiting to hear from Verizon on a contract job today over at Smokey Point. If that doesn't pan out there is a firm that is interviewing me to do a contract at Microsoft, it that doesn't pan out its back to California.

Allison and I are doing good on the food plan she was down 2 pounds and I was down a pound and a half.

Thats all for now

New Couch



Good Monday Morning


Hi All!

Allison and I had a nice weekend at home, working around the house and moving furniture around. Allison bought a new couch and loveseat for the living room. We got rid of our 2 recliners that took up so much room. The couch and love seat each have 2 recliners and are low clearance so they fit right up against the wall. Now we just have to keep the cats from clawing them!

We are doing great on the food plan and will weigh in tomorrow. I don't have to get blood drawn this week, I now go in every 2 weeks. We do have to go and weigh tomorrow. Yesterday we walked down to Dick and Barbs in the morning and picked up a piece of salmon. We BBQ'd some lean pork last night and had Joe, Dick and Barb for dinner.

I have an interview with Verizon today over the phone for a job out of Smokey Point. Wednesday I have to go to Moses Lake to talk to the unemployment folks, I am being audited for the last week of August. I have to apply for three jobs a week which I have been doing. I love the way the state does this, I have to spend 50 bucks on gas to go down and talk to them.
If the Verizon job doesn't pan out its back to California for a while.

I worked on getting my truck winterized last week, washed and waxed with rain-x on the windows, I will start on Allison's car today. We may go fishing when Allison gets off work tonight, we haven't been for months.

That's all for now

Pat and Allison

Tuesday September 8th

Whats up all!

Allison and I spent Friday through Sunday at Tom and Mary's and the Hospital. I just talked to Mary and Tom is itching to come home but it may be another day I think.

We came home and there was no Grey to be found! Joe said he came over to check on the cats Saturday and the back door was open. I woke up at 2:30am and after about 15 minutes I heard her at the back door. I thought she was a goner.

Allison and I are doing great on the food plan! Allison and I had to both get blood drawn this morning and she is down about 10 pounds and I am down 20!!! My blood sugar is down to perfect the doctor said and cut my diabetes medicine in half last Thursday.

Talk to y'all later

Whats UP?

Hey Y'all!

Today is Thursday September 4Th. and all is well here. Allison and I have been on our food plan for over a week now and are doing great. We are eating healthy and have lost some weight and inches. My blood sugars have dropped to normal and I hope to get off some medications soon. I go into the doc today for a checkup. Not only do I have to check my blood 4 times a day I have to go in and get a blood draw weekly.

Allison and I are gonna go to Tom and Mary's for the weekend and be with them for Tom's surgery tomorrow. I will have my laptop with me so if you want to send an email and see how he's doing either Allison or I will respond.

I have my Turkey hats now so if you want one send me $12 bucks plus $4.80 for shipping or come get it.

Take care

Happy Labor Day!!

Hi all!

Allison and I are at Tom and Mary's this weekend visiting and hanging out. We went to the Casino on Saturday and donated.. Yesterday Allison and I ran to Walmart and Home Depot to get a couple of things one item is a light to hang on the new power post. Now when Anyone goes up to Randi and Kauleens at night the hill should be somewhat lit up. We met Deb and Jerry at the Farmers Market in Everett yesterday afternoon. I bought some apple peppers to stuff with chicken (they are supposed to be sweet). I bought some other large peppers that should be sweet. I also bought some Mahi Mahi 4 oz pieces. We went out to dinner last night with Frank Veronica and the kids including Chelsea, Sam and Mary's Mom. We went to Romeos on Colby, very nice place and good food. Allison and I each had a salad and split a Chicken Parmesan. Frank and Veronica are leaving Tuesday for North Carolina for a Non-schooler convention and Ronnie is one of the speakers. They will then head for Italy for a vacation.

Allison and I will head home this morning and get ready for the return visit to Marysville. We will come over Thursday when she gets off work to be in Everett with Mary when Tom has surgery on Friday at 5:30am. I know everything will work out just fine but please keep Tom & Mary in your thoughts and prayers.

Allison and I are doing great on the food plan. My blood sugars are almost perfect after being on the plan for just 1 week. We are still eating less than 1000 calories a day and are not hungry. I go in tomorrow for my weekly blood test and see the doc on Thursday (I know he'll be happy).

Thats all for now folks!!!
