BIG MOVE!
Since Dee wasn't getting well fast enough, we loaded him up and took us all to Idaho Falls to stay with Karen for a few weeks. We got him into see a really good internistthat Dee liked, and he referred us to the hospital re-hab starting on Monday.
So it looks like we'll be staying for a few weeks, to get exercise and diet regulated. It is a relief, especially for me, we were both getting stressed with so little progress the past two weeks. He's lost some weight, but the Doctor said not to worry, things will change soon.
A side benefit, we have lots of grand and great grandkids nearby to get better acquainted with.
I have found a really great music CD for the computer. It is lots of songs by Sally DeFord, mostly things she wrote, some primary. Go to her web site and chec k it out. I think it was 12.95, and well worth it. She has won 1st place in RS music contest. And she doesn't charge for her music, all free.
THE SECRET IS BACK!
Louisville, KY news item
Col. Sander's handwritten recipe for fried chicken was back in its Kentucky home Tuesday after five months in hiding while KFC upgraded security around its top corporate secret. Nothing went afoul when the recipe was returned from an undisclosed location to KFC's headquarters late Monday in a lockbox handcuffed to the wrist of a security consultant.
KFC President Roger Eaton was visibly relieved when the door to a new electronic safe was shut with the single sheet of yellowing paper stashed inside. "Mission accomplished," he said. "It was very nerve wracking" he said later of the recipe's hiatus from a vault where it had been kept for decades.
Thank heavens, we've all been so worried!
She is the 3rd child of Courtney & Dan Beck. Don't you just want to squeeze her? Co cute.

I was there, and they were wonderful!
DOLLS! RILEY and SHIRLEY TEMPLE!
Just wanted you to see another photo of a cute great-grand daughter and her Mom Jana.
You may remember back in the past days I told you about selling dolls on E-Bay. Well, I've almost retired from that, so have decided to let grand-kids who come visit pick out one to keep. Markell came with her Dad(you're never too old for dolls) over New Year's week-end, and she chose the Shirley Temple doll 
I also sent a couple home to Idaho Falls for Kaydra and Kalli, and if anyone else in the family wants one, you have to come pick it out yourself!
Things have been a bit hectic around here, trying to get Grandpa Dee well, but we're back on the mend again so I'll try and post more blogs.
He's supposed to be doing a lot of walking, but we still have about 2 feet of dirty messy snow all over, and it's cold, so our best bet is Wal-Mart or Grocery Outlet, but when we walk there, we always end up spending a lot and buying things we don't really need.
Here's a couple of lines about WORRY, which we all do a lot of. (I didn't write it, just like it)
Worry is experiencing stress over something that hasn't happened yet. When you worry, your body reacts to your anticipation of danger or catastrophe as though it already occured. Consider the stress children go through when they anticipate getting a shot from the doctor. Although nothing has hurt them physically, they may become hysterical and experience tremendous stress from what they are afraid will happen. You do the same thing when you worry.
You recall those things that have hurt you in the past, you recall the danger signals that foretold the pain, and you draw conclusions that you may be hurt again. Then you react to the fear of what may happen again.
MOST OF WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT NEVER HAPPENS!
DON'T WORRY! BE HAPPY!
I'M BACK!!!So, have you missed me? Computer has been down, but today Elaine came and rescued me!!!
Correction time. A few posts back I gave the wrong figure for our hospital bill. Obviously they hadn't all come in yet, grand total as of today was......ready?......$97,050...gulp. thank heaven for medicare. Dee is doing quite well, all things considered. But it really takes too long, and some days we still run out of pills before we run out of pain, but it's getting better.
Tomorrow is the big day for Obama....I just hope he can pull off all the promises we heard. All in all, I think he's going to do OK. But we shall see. Either way, it's fun to see history in the making.
