Few thoughts

Well still not have not heard anything about the trailer. They needed to get the part so it might take awhile. Guess we don't need it right now. We sure can't camp here at 27degrees. We went to a Memorial service for Darlene Wed night. Jack and Barb came from Ky. We picked them up at his Mom's. It was a very good service. The service was at Jim's church. (son). His wife sang a couple of songs. She sang bueatifully. The pastor did a real good job on the message for not really knowing the family. It sure is going to seem different when we talk about them. We have know them since 1968 when we both joined the camping club. Thelma is getting along pretty good. She doesn't have near the pain as she had for a while. She still can not stand for long times. Well that is about it from here. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Not much new

Not much new here. I took the trailer down to Walnut ridge today. They did not have the part so left it there. I hope they get those jacks working right. They say that it is the stabilizers that I put on. I don't really think so but they are going to take them off and see if that does it. I'm beginning to think it is the jacks themselves binding up. Hope not as that is $$$. We had a lazy weekend. Didn't do much except church and breakfast Sun morning with Gene and Sylvia. Thelma has a Dr. appointment tomorrow morning This is with the regular dr. Six month checkup. Well that is about all from here. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

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
