An Elf Came to Visit

This weekend we were surprised to find an elf had come to visit our front porch. She was very sweet and kind and loved riding Abby's tricycle and bike. We didn't mind since she was very cute and did mind her manners very well.







My son Ryan, stayed with us for the weekend and happened to be out on the porch when the elf first appeared. I asked him what he thought about this strange creature and where he thought she might have come from.



"Huh? You talking to me Mom?"

Never mind son, go back to sleep. Hey, the elf is coming your way!







"Hi Uncle Bubba! I love you!" "I love you too Abby." "Mom thought you were an elf, I think she is getting old." "Let's go play with toys inside ok?" "Ok Abby, we'll just sneak in and not tell Mom."

Puzzles are Fun!

Especially when your Papa Joe helps you with them. Abby and Joe had a fine time putting together a puzzle we recently got for her.















Note the SpongeBob SquarePants pj's and the Pebbles hair style. Such a doll!



Even though Joe looks quite confused in that last picture he did finally figure out how to put the puzzle together. It can be challenging even for an adult especially when you don't have one of those boxes with a picture on it to refer to!

Dr Visit

I saw my wonderful doctor yesterday. Even though I had to wait forever to see him it proved to be worth it. I told him all about his PA and how I did not appreciate the way he talked to me and that I never, ever wanted to see him again. He said he would definitely speak to him about it.

He increased my BP meds and gave me a script for some kind of patch to wear a week at a time. He said that would help the BP and to calm me down. You see, my poor family, friends and co-workers have had to listen to Bitch Lisa the past few weeks or so. I thought it was just the menopause but Dr Turnbo confirmed that high blood pressure can produce bitchiness. Who knew? Now I have an excuse! Anytime I get that way I can tell Joe "oh, it must be my bp spiking!" I'm just kidding of course. He knows how I am and loves me anyway.

I will go back to the doctor in 2 weeks to see how the bp is. I also want to share with you what I need to do next weekend. Are you excited yet cause it's really neat. I'm lying, just like I am a food thief. Actually I have to collect a 24 hour urine thingy. I don't mind that so much but what I DO mind is that I can't have any caffeine or tea for THREE days prior to the pissing event. I'd best have plenty of migraine meds on hand cause I am so addicted to caffeine I will get a busting headache. But it is important to do this because the 'tumor' the idiot referred to is actually a swelling on the top of my left kidney and could produce more adrenaline therefore causing the elevated blood pressure. Makes sense huh? Dr Turnbo was able to explain it to me in layman's terms, you know, like I asked the idiot to?

On another note guess who I get this weekend!!!!!!!! I bet you will never guess. Ok, I'm lying again. You know who it is. It's my precious Abby. She is just the medicine that this woman needs. She puts a smile on my face and a skip in my walk. Skip in my walk? Where did that come from? Anyhoo, I'll let you guys know what the Dr says in 2 weeks.

Oh, and I appreciate the comments about the idiot and especially Bill's where he is gonna do away with the PA. hehehehehehe
