We ordered the correct Winnebago lug nut covers since we were missing two. Of course we have been grocery shopping at Walmart about every week! That never ends.
On Wednesday the 4th of October, we went to the VA at OKC for Steve's ultrasound.
October 5, - Thursday, we celebrated our 15th anniversary. We ate out at Texas Roadhouse and Steve bought me some beautiful flowers!
We started a jean quilt for Kristi and so we worked on it Friday and Saturday the 6th & 7th.
On Sunday - we rested and watched football!
Monday the 9th of October, we paid some bills, mowed the yard, walked and located my birth certificate. In addition, we worked on Kristi's quilt. I didn't have the right type of thread to tie the quilt so I went to Maxine's and she had a lot that she let me have - that was so nice, especially since we don't have a Walmart in town anymore.
Tuesday, the 9th - we were able to complete the quilt! Wow! I did not remember how hard it was to make one - but it felt like a great accomplishment. We were very happy with the way it turned out.
On October 11, Wednesday - we went to Stillwater to sign me up for social security. That went smooth! Yea! Also did grocery shopping and called AT & T about lowering my bill.
Some days we don't do a lot.
Friday we mowed the back yard and trimmed my Rose of Sharon bush. Steve did weed eating - he does a great job of that.
I checked with Thousand Trails, and we can change our zone pass to another region if we desire. Also it automatically renews - but you get a notice two months prior to being charged.
Saturday we watched Oklahoma State University (my alma mater) and OU play their football games - both teams beat their opponents.
Kristi and the kids came for the week-end and we ate at La Macarena on Saturday night. Sunday we just watched some more Football!
Monday, October 16th was the day I returned to work. I only worked about 4 hours then returned home. We took the kids to Pizza Hut before they left for home.
Tuesday, October 17th - We listened to a sales pitch from Thousand Trails and that is about 1.5 hours of my life that I will never get back. We don't really want to buy a regular membership at this time. They try real hard to sell you though.
Wednesday the 18th took us back to the VA in OKC for Steve's eye appointment. They had no record of his appointment. But they were nice and worked us in. Then we drove out to El Reno and saw the kids - they got fall break and so Austyn and Logan came back home with us. Fun times!
I returned to work on Thursday- but only about 3 - 4 hours. The kids and Steve worked on cleaning out the ditch behind our fence. They worked really hard.
Friday, I helped Steve & the kids work in the ditch until I got tired. Then we rested and later we went to Stillwater and combed the 2nd hand shops for clothes Austyn could use for her Halloween costume dance. That was fun! Of course we went to Walmart - we never miss a chance to lighten our wallets there! We cooked burgers out on the grill when we got home and made a fire! The kids loved their S'mores.
Saturday was football and taking it easy. Kristi came up and stayed overnight.
The Dallas Cowboys won their game on Sunday and I did some laundry and fixed meds - usual stuff.
Monday brought work again - about 5 - 6 hours. Tuesday we went to Ponca City to my doctor - routine check-up. Wednesday was work.
Thursday the 26th rolled around and we drove to Chickasha, OK to watch Logan play Football. It was his last game of the season and he was excited that we came to watch him. We ate supper at Mama Carol's Kitchen and it was good. The prices were great and the food was regular down home cooking. The service was also excellent. We would definitely eat here again. They also serve breakfast anytime. I found out from the answering machine that my sister, Nancy was put in the Hospital in OKC. The nursing home called and left the message on my home phone, instead of calling me on my cell phone. If I would have been contacted on my cell phone - I could have stopped and checked on her on our way home.
Friday we got the oil changed in the pickup, ordered flowers for my sister Nancy and went to the Dollar Store. We also took a nap and I found out that Social Security had approved my retirement request.
Saturday the 28th, we returned to Oklahoma City to see Nancy. We visited her at the hospital then had lunch with one of my other sisters and her hubby, (Pam & JC) at Charleston's in OKC. Before we headed out to OKC our ceiling fan in the bedroom quit working. Steve checked it out about one hour and we determined that a new one needs to be purchased. So before we left OKC we stopped t Lowe's and bought a new one.
Sunday, Steve worked on installing the ceiling fan! He completed it in two sessions. We also watched football. But the fan wasn't working quite right using the remote. So more work was called for.
Monday - I worked and Steve did laundry.
Tuesday, the 31st - Steve took that ceiling fan apart and re-did the wires and checked it and it worked correctly! Yea! It was Halloween but we did not buy any candy because we seldom have more than a few trick or treaters. Perry has a big thing down around the town square for the kids. The businesses hand out candy and most of the kids go there.
Today - the 1st of November, we returned to the OKC VA for a surgical appointment. Steve has two hernias that need repaired. They had a cancellation and so he will have surgery tomorrow! Another adventure and back to OKC. My sister thinks we should move there as many times as we have had to go there. We ate at Whiskey Cake - their claim to fame is locally sourced food. Their prices are HIGH especially for just lunch. Service was only fair. We will not return.
More later!
