Jim,

That is the pits, that you are still in pain and worse off than you were before you went in, to improve the pain. It's been a few weeks hasn't it? Why no improvement? Does the Dr. know what went wrong?

On the subject of Granny, I was happy to see her in Ohio. I wasn't aware that she wasn't going to come, until I got there. A Vintage meet is not complete unless Granny is there.

G-Rod, this is kinda like your thread, so I'm just checking in to say hello.
Sounds like your surprise visit to Ohio was a real hit!
Well, I'm still looking for a new piano teacher for my kids, since their teacher moved to France. I told you about her at SF. She's going to be hard to replace. The kids have been in California for two weeks visiting friends. I think they spent a lot of time at Disney Land. They return today, so the quiet days are over for now. We did miss them, though, and are ready to have them come home. The summer has really flown by, and school starts this month. Nick and I were going to go to Colorado before school starts again, but so far I can't drive the car. But we still have two assigned summer books to read and discuss, so we will be busy.

 

Hey Tex, never let it be said that you can't keep a secret (unlike someone in VA we all know). Flying in for dinner (as in Guess Who's Coming To....) was worth every penny just to see the surprised look on everyone's face when they saw me and to hear our Val squeal and our Rob point in disbelief. That Ohio gang is the greatest bunch of nuts on the S2K tree! I'd do it again in a heartbeat, especially now that I have a little greatgranddaughter to visit (or will soon I hope).

One day you're going to have to make it up here for this one too. Sorry you're still in so much pain but you sound in good spirits. They've got to get this thing right because we've got a lot more driving and partying to do. Hope you feel better. Keep up the good work on the therapy and don't give up hope, okay? Thanks for keeping us posted and enjoy the remainder of this quick moving summer. Where did it go? Were we having that much fun that we missed it?

 

that they are not the same if she is NOT there. But, she was the catalyst to hear Valentine (Darlene) let out a squeal like a three year old girl! Fortunately, the very well behaved Anika did not pick up the gauntlet and try to out do her.

 

Do you mean the one in Room 314?

 

Granny,
Are you still thinking about Lake George? Those Falll colors have got to be beautiful!!

 

Everytime I read this thread it gives me a . Another time, another place and I shall ride again!!! Wahhhhhh (Jonas, don't let Anika read this thread or she may pick up my bad habits).

 

I've tried to figure out a way to make it in spite of the obstacles. Seem I'm having a string of bad luck. One of my cars ('97 Accord) just got rear-ended by a truck at high speed while stopped and pushed into another truck which was stopped in front of it. It looked like an accordian and I'm pretty sure they're gong to total it. My brother was driving but wasn't hurt as bad as he could have been. It's just something else to deal with that wasn't expected on top of everything else that's been going wrong lately. So, I think I'll be laying low for a bit longer because there's just too much going on right now and I'm feeling a little like Job. However, I know I'm going to miss a great time and that knowledge has been known to make me do crazy things. The fact that you're coming doesn't make things any better. Sigh!

Nice try, though.

 

- You do seem to be having a string of bad luck. I hope that changes soon!!

 

Granny, sorry for your troubles. Glad your brother is OK. When it rains it pours, doesn't it?

Hope things turn around for you soon.
