Tennis Anyone

May 20, 2007 Happy Birthday Justin
We had a scare this morning when Cliff came over with Maria in the truck passed out. She had fallen and hit her head. Somehow he managed to get her off the boat and into the truck. She has always been one to faint when there is any excitment or stress. We gave her a few minutes and she came awake with, "Where am I?" Kathy got some ice for her head and we were discussing a trip to the nearest hospital. Maria didn't want a hospital visit. Her neck was stiff, but when Kathy went to put a support towel around it, her neck cracked and she was fine after that except for a little lump on the back of her head.

Breakfast was at the Bonfire, a neat restaurant with the upper floor decorated with a western motif and the basement bar decorated in race car memoriblia. Maria and Cliff went back to the boat and we drove over to North Park. Will played some tennis with his highschool buddy, Owen, and John, an older guy that ran over to Will with a bag of tennis balls when we first arrived. Kathy sat around the roadtrek watching the walkers, and sipping her cranberry juice.

We did a little yard work back at Jayne's

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Hospital Stay to Camping Out

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
