Just another couple of weeks.... but we're still healthy and surviving the pandemic!

Nothing super exciting going on.  Rich was once again outside/away from the house ( this makes a total of 5 times in over three months!  He drove to the Chinese Restaurants, while I went in to collect the take-out order.... and on the 20th (Wednesday) he drove to the Surgery & Endoscopy Center in Sebring, and sat in the car for about two hours, while I had my Upper Endoscopy.   None of the doctor's offices, will allow anyone in the waiting area that is not a patient.... and in some cases make the patients wait outside, until space ( 6 ft apart) is available in the waiting area.   While I have not yet seen the results of any Biopsy, Dr. Thakker told me that everything looked good, no sign of cancer.......and that I can go to every two years instead of every year for the endoscopy! 

Speaking of doctor visits -  I was scheduled for laser surgery on my left eye a week or so ago. My doctor who comes in from Tampa, got caught in traffic (accident) and was almost two hours late.  I was the first called in........BUT the laser machine was not working!  Had to reschedule.   Two days later I arrived at Advent Health (previously Sea Scape) in Sebring for my annual mammogram..... upon arrival, and after being checked in.... the mammogram machine was not working.  Had to reschedule!  Both coming up within the next couple of weeks.

BUT...... still got the cookin' and bakin' going on!  On the menu for the last couple of weeks has included.. Chicken Parm, Pork Chops w/stuffing &; au-gratin potatoes, Chicken fajitas, Pancakes w/ cherries & whip cream & sausage... and from the baker...... chocolate chip cookies and DELICIOUS cream puffs!

The floral arrangement that Dennis and the family sent for Mother's Day..... was a bit delayed (by the Florist).... I received it a few days after Mother's Day, and it was absolutely beautiful!

Both of the kids have finished the year in College............with Dalton graduating, and Chauna with one more year.

Message from Dennis on Facebook today!
"Once again, but Always proud of the kiddos!  College is done for the year & finished wit a brain... or bang!  Dalton Graduated!  Both Dalton & Chauna made the University of Iowa Dean's List for the last semester with a 3.6 GPA.  So Dalton's first & last semester for college life & Chauna;s on 2 consecutive Dean's List. Congratulations,  Way to Go & Love y'all!"

With Covid-19 - the graduation was cancelled, and Dalton elected not to participate in the "virtual graduation" to college planned.  Instead he will be walking with his sister next year.  Some more memorable's that he mailed to us.

And this is the Thank You card we received.  Beautiful!  We are so very proud of Dalton and Chauna. 

Well, since we are not making the trip to NY this year.... we've been keeping an eye on the weather forecast.  Yesterday, late afternoon we had a wicked Thunderstorm. The winds was racing, the trees were swaying big time, and the rain was blowing into the back lanai in all directions!    And it seemed to last forever!  

NOAA says there is a 60% chance of an above-average season, a 30% chance of an average season and a 0% chance of an average season.  They are predicting 6-19 hurricanes, with 3-6 of them reaching major hurricane strength,(Category 3 Status) which means winds of at least 111 miles per hour!  We are starting early this year..... already had our first,  Arthur!   So next on the list is Bertha!
