April 16 - 30, 2023 Routine Things and Something Unexpected!

 Sunday- 16 th I was up a little lat today. So I putzed around a bit. Then Steve and I worked on the computer until 1:15 PM. We are still working on pictures on the new computer. We did a little walk and for supper we had turkey bacon, eggs and berries. 

Monday -   17th - After doing all our routine  morning chores I went to the Eye Doctor to have my annual checkup. After lunch Steve and I went to the funeral for Maxine (Hazel & Linda’s mom). Maxine was the first wife of my first husband. We also went to the gravesite. We were feeling kind of punk when we got home and just relaxed. I made Taco Salad and we had berries for dessert. 

Tuesday 18th-After we did our morning routine I also did my Physical Therapy moves at home. We had lunch and then met with our financial advisor. Then we worked on the computer and relaxed. Steve & I went to La Macarena for supper. 

Wednesday - 19th- We completed our morning routine and then went to Stillwater. I had an appointment with my new primary care provider, a nurse practitioner. Then we went to Walmart for groceries. We were able to get gas on our way home. We got the groceries unloaded and had lunch. I did my home PT and then we relaxed and watched some TV. 

Thursday - 20th - After the morning chores we worked on mowing the yard. I also did my Home PT. Not sure how we filled the afternoon. Supper was meatloaf, baked potatoes, green beans and berries. 

Friday - 21st-Today I did  some errands around town. I paid the car insurance , checked the mail and went to Thorn’s to buy a present. Steve worked on pictures most of the day. After lunch I took the pickup for an oil change. I also stopped and visited with  Linda at her shop. We took a walk after supper. 

Saturday -22nd- We did all the usual morning things. After lunch we got ready and drove to Dewey, OK to visit my sister Pam. Then we went to Bartlesville for Paige’s (my niece) 50th birthday party. It was a great party and had a taco bar and birthday cake. We got back home about 9:30 PM.

Sunday - 23rd-We did the morning chores and then I did my Home PT after a shower. After lunch I helped Steve with pictures on the computer. For supper I fixed chicken vegetable soup and berries. 

Monday - 24th More routine stuff today. I did home PT. We both worked on the laundry. Then we worked on pictures on the computer. We also bought a duplicate picture cleaner to help us solve the problem. It rained today.  

Tuesday - 25th - We worked on getting rid of the duplicate pictures. After lunch we went to Stillwater for a follow-up on Steve’s hip. He has not had any real improvement from the injection. So I guess it is his back that is the main problem. It also rained again today. We ate supper with Linda and Hazel at La Macarena.

Wednesday - 26th - I did my home PT after a shower. Then we worked on pictures most of the day. We got tired and quit to watch TV. We got more rain today.

Thursday - 27th - Pretty much, more of the same. I did pay some bills and work on my blog. Steve stayed on the pictures.We had rain again overnight. This is good for us because we were in a drought. We needed rain. Supper was chili and berries.

Friday - 28th - We did all the morning things. After lunch we went to Staples and Walmart. Then back home to do the same old thing. Again it was rainy and overcast. 

Saturday - 29th - We had breakfast and started working on pictures. Then Kristi called and said her Mom (Steve’s first wife) died (unexpectedly). So we started packing the RV. That took about two hours. We planned to pick her and Austyn up and then we would take them to Amarillo to take care of her Mom’s stuff and service. I went to mail some birthday cards and Steve pulled the RV up to the parking lot where we hook the pickup on the tow bar. When I got to the parking lot, he had checked our new rear tires and the inside dually on the passenger side was flat - no air. So we went back to the house and aired that tire up. He found out the valve stem was not screwed in tight. Then we drove to El Reno and parked. Kristi and Logan met us for supper at Pecina’s Mexican Cafe. They have great food.

Sunday - 30th - Today after we ate breakfast, we walked the dogs. We stayed at the El Reno Lake Campground. It only costs $25/night and it is more like camping than an RV Park,We went to Walmart for some stuff and had snacks for lunch. We drove to Yukon to Kristi’s house for supper. She fixed Spaghetti and salad along with garlic bread. We also had some cheesecake. Then we went back to the RV to rest for the trip to Amarillo tomorrow.
