Hey All!

I hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving!

I headed home Wednesday after work, I was in Kirkland so I headed over I-90 and got home in record time. Thursday, Thanksgiving morning Allison got a call from Dick (her dad) saying he was taking Barb (her mom) to the emergency room so Allison went with him and spent a couple hours at the hospital Allison came home while they gave her an IV for fluids. She had a bad urinary infection possibly Kidney infection. Allison came home thinking they were admitting her but she wanted to come home. I put the turkey in around 11:30 for a 3:00 dinner. Dick called around three and said they wouldn’t be there for dinner so Allison made them a couple plates and took them over. We had a nice quiet Dinner then the phone rang, it was Dick, he had fallen asleep downstairs when he went upstairs he heard Barb saying help me!! She had either passed out or fallen in the bathroom and couldn’t get up. Allison got a call from Dick so we ran out the door and over to their house. Allison called 911 and the aid crew came and too Barb to the hospital where she stayed until yesterday. Allison called her sister and brother who both came over on Friday and left today also. I cooked dinner for everyone on Friday evening. Allison spent a few hours helping putting the house back together (but that’s a whole other story). I watched a couple movies on Saturday.
I went to the doctors on Friday and weighed in, I was down another 8 pounds down a total of 58 pounds so far. Friday afternoon we drove up to Omak so I could get some new cloths, I am in a size 28 jean now (I started in a 46) not bad for a fat boy.
I also ordered a new camera Friday (for my Christmas present) Mrs. Claus said I have to wait until Christmas to open it after it comes. It is a Nikon D-60 I can hardly wait. I enjoy taking pictures of the wildlife when I am home so I will need to ramp it up a little.
I think I will go home in a couple of weeks and try and have a nice quite weekend with Allison, she thought we might meet in Wenatchee?? We shall see what the weather has in store.
Randi and Kauleen turned on their lights tonight and are seeking donations of diapers for Basics for Babies at one of the local churches. So if you come to see the lights Bring me a drink and bring diapers for the donation box.
Tis the season
