Animals and cars:
I wanted to let
those who asked and prayed, know some results about some of the things I have
written about lately. I am still not ‘whole’ myself BUT our granddaughter
Sherece came thru her surgery and is doing well. The Doctor said, it was a huge
mass, but she got it all and everything looks great now. Niece Vickie with the same operation did well. Nephew Steve got his hip replacement, and is fairing well.
And then Benjamin
Aaron made the trip from Utah safely. He is settled in his new place here and already
has a job.
The family is
pitching in to get son Mark’s house here in NC shipshape after it being rented
by the same folks for over 20 years. It is terrible to say, but it looks like
they forgot to clean it for those years. ;-(.
His son Matthew is
moving into it once it is ready.
A day after Sherece’s
surgery, Sherry fixed her ‘famous’ Chicken ala King for Sherece and we
delivered it. Many of the family were there to cheer her on. It was a special reunion
for Sherece and Ben. They were CLOSE friends AS WELL AS cousins, when they were
kids.
I am trying to stay
busy. I have laid a few concrete blocks for Mark. We have one rental left. I
replaced the gas burner and pilot system on the water heater and retracked a
garage door there. The furnace had quit
and I have no idea how, but I fixed that by what I call, ‘Easter egging’. (I
guess it is the right time of the year for that) ;-O
(I am trying)
I am trying to
retrain my brain to accept the number 84. Dementia does run in my family. I am the oldest a person has lived in my
family. Sister Shirl and mother’s minds left them in their 70s and they passed
before they were 80 methinks. So I am now holding the best batting record.

It sounds like you have been a busy boy, Jack. I think that is good for us-to stay busy. Dementia is a scary, scary thing, isn't it? My mother had dementia and passed when she was 2 years younger than I am now. It is weird to think we have outlived our folks' ages.
That is too bad that the people that rented the house all those years didn't keep it clean and nice. Some people just don't take care of stuff if they don't own it...and some that do own things don't take care of them either.
I hope you and Sherry have a blessed Sunday and upcoming week. Hugs- Diana
I am so happy to hear your granddaughter's surgery was a success and she is doing well. That is wonderful news. Sorry about those renters neglecting Mark's house for 20 years. That's just terrible. Some people just don't care. Just because you are going to be 84 doesn't mean Dementia is inevitable. Not everyone gets it. One thing you do have in your favor is that more women than men get Dementia. So if you haven't gotten it by now, you probably aren't going to.
So glad you and your family are doing so well. You are do great for someone you age. Not many can do what you do and do it well. I'd say you have nothing to worry about. You are blessed with such a wonderful family. Enjoy!
What blessings to have Sherece, Vickie and Steve on the mend! Glad Ben is nearby (for good?) and getting settled. I think Dementia is something we all think about; me, everytime I call something by another name. Hey, if you run out of projects, Tom's got a list!
I'm glad all your family is healing and doing well. You amaze me with all you do. My Mom used to say to never stop moving as you age and you are a good example of that! Don't worry about the dementia since you seem to be doing just fine. Just enjoy each day! We're having a new cement sidewalk put in and I sure could use an expert like you! I think the guy we hired will do a good job..fingers crossed!
This all good new! Glad everyone is heading in a well direction.
Always praying in NC

You have had some busy times with family and loved ones. Rentals and repairs are awful. We owned and managed apartments for too many years. Some people live like pigs.
I have had some tests to see if my brain is heading down the dementia/Alzheimer's road. Will meet with neurologist next Tuesday.
I am so praising God that things are going well for you and yours health-wise and in other ways. Will continue to pray for you all. Trust in God always my dear friends.
God bless always.
Hi, Hope things are going OK ! Keeping you and your Family in our Prayers ! Miss seeing those posts!
Umm...so happy to know you're okay! LOVE AND MISS Y'ALL!!!
