December 19 - 31, 2022 Christmas and Wrapping up 2022

 Dec. 19 - 25

Monday - The routine stays the same most mornings. After the routine things were completed we went to Stillwater to pick up Steve's new orthotics and shoes. The we stopped at Tractor Supply and Walmart Market to finish our shopping. We got home and unloaded our stuff. Next we just took it easy.  Tuesday - Today I went to PT from 12:30 to 1:30 while Steve did errands. At home Steve did some cleaning around the house to get ready for company. I finalized the Christmas cash presents. We met up with Hazel for supper at the Boomerang. Wednesday - Steve was vacuuming and cleaning today. I went to PT. Linda had thought about eating lunch with us - but she decided to get home. For our supper I fixed chicken breasts, brown rice and mixed vegetables.  Thursday - Steve is still cleaning, today it is the kitchen floor. I worked on the computer and completed my PT. Friday - We finally put our packages around the tree. Steve checked the RV heater. It has been really cold here and the kids may sleep in the RV. Maybe not if it is too cold. Austyn and Sky arrived tonight and we took them to La Macarena to eat supper. Linda joined us for supper. Saturday - it's the day before Christmas! Kristi, John, and Logan arrived about 11:30. I made Hobo Soup for lunch. It was yummy and so easy. Supper was at La Macarena here in town. It is our favorite place to eat! Sunday - Merry Christmas! I cracked some cinnamon rolls open for breakfast and then we opened presents. I put the turkey breast in the oven to get it started. We all enjoyed our presents and stocking stuffers. I didn't take many pictures of present opening except for Kristi & John. Because we got them engraved toasting glasses for the wedding. That was special. Then it was on to making appetizers and the remainder of Christmas dinner. After that we all just hung out  and relaxed. Austyn and Sky had to leave today because he had to work. I had cooked a spiral sliced ham also, and supper was ham and cheese crescent rolls. We probably won't need to eat for awhile.

Dec 26 - 31

Monday - Breakfast today was cereal and or pop tarts. Kristi fixed turkey sandwiches for lunch. We looked at some arches for the wedding and other wedding related planning. Then Kristi, John and Logan had to leave about 2:00 to get back to work. After everyone left Steve and I just relaxed. Our supper consisted of snacks and berries.  Tuesday - Today was routine plus naps. Steve's back is giving him fits. We watched Oklahoma State in their bowl game and they got beat! Darn! I'm glad I didn't put out big bucks to go see it. Tonight we ate at La Macarena with Hazel and Stetson.  Wednesday - Today I went out for PT. After that, it was home for lunch. Steve and I went to Walmart Market for groceries. Then we unloaded everything at home and rested. Thursday - Today is Steve's Birthday! His back is giving him fits! We left for OKC about 3 or so and stopped at Camping World. I got him a new director's chair and an outside mat for his birthday present. Then we met the kids at Hideaway Pizza for his birthday supper. It was great! Friday - I called the pain management nurse to get Steve an appointment. Of course I had to leave a message. And since it is a holiday coming up, we probably won't hear anything for awhile. I had PT. When It was over we had lunch at home. I also did a load of laundry. Whoop Whoop! Saturday - The last day of 2022!  Today I did my PT at home twice. Then we watched football. TCU beat Ohio State in the bowl game. Steve is researching the RV heater. We stayed up to see the new year in and then went to sleep. 

Mary & Steve on his birthday!

May, 1 - 6, 2021 Tying Up Loose Ends

May has started and we have may things to do before we take off for Montana. On May 1 I mowed the front yard and the north side of the fence, while Steve helped me. Logan and Steve mounted our new satellite dish on the RV. We worked on the ditch behind the fence in the back yard. Later we enjoyed watching the Kentucky Derby. For supper we ate at La Macarena in Perry. Sunday I finished mowing and the guys completed their work on the ditch. Pam & JC came over and we went over what things they need to know if they end up staying at our house after their house sells. They are having trouble finding a house to buy in Bartlesville.  On Monday, I had to get a new drivers' license because mine expires in August and I won't be here then. So I got that taken care of. Then I did some mowing in the back yard. The guy took down the honeysuckle vine and the pergola it was growing on. It seemed to die out from the rough winter we had. We also worked on the ditch behind the fence. We are trying to get it cleaned out so the water will not run into our back yard and kill the grass. In between these things we did laundry. I also took the keys to Hazel.On Tuesday I went to Linda's to get my hair colored. Then we had lunch. After that I ran the vacuum sweeper and Steve ran the carpet shampooer. We also washed our kitchen curtains and Logans bed sheets. Next we drove to OKC and watched Logan play in the state Soccer Playoffs. They lost, but we enjoyed the game. After it was over we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse and got home late for us older folks! Wednesday we drove back to OKC for Steve's SCI appointment. I went to Target and got a paper towel holder and then we were back home in time for lunch. We worked on putting away more kitchen stuff and hanging the curtains back up . Plus we washed the blankets. The young guy who is going to tend to our yard - cam by and we gave him the first half of his money. Thursday we started packing the RV. We also paid bills and did other things to prepare for our trip. Steve worked on  washing the RV windshield also.
