Blogging in bed . . .

-

There is nothing better, than laying in bed at 9:30 with no cares and a blog to share your thoughts.  (Well there may be better things, but this is pretty good right now!)  I never convince Justin that it is ok to go to bed before 10, but tonight I got my way.  Well, it helps that we have become 65 year olds.  At least that is what I tell Justin, with his morning, noon, afternoon, and night medicine box; blood pressure cuff by the bed; and still using the heater in April!  So, tonight we added going to be at 9:00!  I love it!!  We watched “Horton Hears a Who” tonight. Even though we are a few weeks late in keeping up with the new releases, it was a very cute movie.  We were hoping to rent Marley and Me, but it was not at the Redbox.  If you haven’t tried using Redbox, you should!

Speaking of heat (I bolded it above – in case you didn’t follow), the cold weather can go now.  I actually did something today I’ve never had to do.  This true country girl covered her recently planted hydrangea trees with garbage bags and covered the strawberry plants (which already have blooms) and periwinkle (which may have already died) with sheets to keep out the cold.  I had to bring in some pot plants too.  Wow, I had no idea I could actually take care of flowers!  I hope my mother-in-law is proud.  She is the best gardener, and did a great job of teaching her son!

Enough rambling . . . The back of my eyelids are calling.  Thanking the Lord tonight for a warm bed and a wonderful husband!

Abigail...we have aged, but at least together. I too go to bed with the chickens...like 8:30 most nights. Also last night I raced to get sheets on my azaelas and my ornamental cannas. I did make sure they all matched. We may be country but at least I kept my style, I draped my plants with lovely, purple sheets. Thought you may want to know I am aging with you!

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Boston Bound

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, then flew to Memphis but could not land because of weather.

Welcome new readers

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book and the writing, that this is not the best place to be
