Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to those that read our blog. Today has been a dreary day. We were going to church tonight but Sylvia stopped by this afternoon and wanted to know if we wanted to go out to eat. So church tomorrow morning. The lady picks up Eli and takes him to her house and then we can pick him up but sometimes she brings him back. Yes we had a lady at Urbana Ohio that did that with Buttons. That was really neat. Not sure where we are going to eat tomorrow. Guess that's about it for tonight Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

PS Just received an email from Bob Gurney. Darlene passed away last night with her family at her side. No visitatation. Celebration of life on Dec 2. We have know them since 1968, She will be missed.

Not much new

Yesterday I did one more pass on the leaves and then put the vacuam trailer away till next year. We took Gary and family out to eat at the Catholic church east of new haven . They have a turkey ham dinner the Sunday before Thanksgiving every year. We have gone the last few years and meet Gene and Sylvia there. They have ham, turkey mashed potatoes dressing green beans gravy Cranberry salad, pie or cake. Then they sell beer for 1$ a glass. Gene bought Gary and I a beer. Had email from Bob Gurney and Darlene is still on ventilator and dyalisis. She had two bypasses and heart valve replacment. They don't know at this time if that will be permament or not. They are still residents of Texas. You never know what life is going to throw at you. We have to get up early as Julia who does eli is picking him up at 7:30. SHe comes around and picks up the animals. Thats about it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Friday the 20th

Today was a fairly nice day. Gary came out and helped me load the chipper in the truck. Went to his place and chipped up a whole bunch of branches. He had a lot. We should have done them once in the spring. Guess we weren't home enough. I can feel it tonight. I need to tear the chipper apart tomorrow and reverse the blades. They must be getting worn out as it doesn't do as good a job as it used too. Have to get the manual out for that. I looked at it once. Thelma still has some pain but think it is getting better. Had an email from Bob G and he said darlene is holding her own. They put a trach in so they could take the tubes out of her mouth. She is still on Dialysis. Wed it had been 14 days. The doctor thought maybe by Christmas she might be able to go home. That would be a nice present for the family. It will still take a while for her to get her strenth back. Well that is about it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Monday 16

Not much new. Yea it seems like this knee is having more pain than the other one. We really can't remember for sure from the other one. Eli is one lucky dog that is for sure. But we feel pretty lucky to have him. If he just got along with other dogs. Darlene is holding her own. Not much progress as of yesterday evening. Usually hear something around 10:00 in the evening. Thats about it for tonight. Thanks for all the prayers sent Thelma's way. A couple of more weeks and she will be better I hope. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Time sure flies

Well Think I missed a couple of days. Not much has happened. Thelma is still experianceing pain more than she would like. I think I have done all the leaves for this year. They are mostly down and don't think the rest will make much difference. Thelma went to church tonight and even walked up for communion. Went to Arbys and got a couple of sandwiches and brought them home. Eli loves that . He really likes roast beef. What doesn't he like. He is one spoiled dog. Well that is about it tonight. Will probably not post as much as most of the stuff is over. Will keep updating when we find out something about Darlene. She is still in Icu. Having some problems. Had email today where they gave her more blood. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Getting old?

Here it is Wed and I don't see a post for Tues. What happened. It must have not appeared on here. I guess I missed again. Today Thelma had her last therapy today. She got her graduation T shirt. Now she has two of them. We went to Concordia High tonight for a choral concert. Kristin is in the womans glee club. It only lasted and hour which was good as Thelma was getting antsy. She can't take to long sitting in one place. That was about her limit. The concert was good. It is cool here tonight Supposed to warm up later. Fri is really supposed to be good so think I will finish up the leaves. I think most will be done by then. What isn't will stay till spring. They are working on Tillman road. The company that pt in the lowest bid gets the work. They are just doing in different sections. They are not doing the whole street. The company is garcia. Now what do you think the people are. Wonder if they got green cards. They seem to work one day and then take the next off. Probably won't get done till Christmas. Well that's about it for tonight Later all Ron Thelma and Eli
