Sorry, sorry sorry!

So sorry I have neglected keeping you all posted on these "stone" issues!  Ha...right now I am waiting for a 4mm stone to pass!  Yikes you say!  Well no worries, I am NOT in pain...unbelievable as that sounds!!  I had an x-ray and it showed that stone to be fairly close to the bladder...so I am now I on Flomax to help relax things so that it will pass easily.  I guess the x-ray also showed some obscurity in the kidney, which could mean more random floaters around...not sure, but I will have a CT scan on July 15 to determine if everything got cleared out or not!

In the meantime, life goes on, right?  The Foelker's house did NOT sell, we were so sad about that.  The potential buyer could not get financing for the back empty lot.  In the meantime, we have spent several days cleaning and hauling things to either the dump or the Goodwill store.  We discovered an empty garbage can cemented into the ground in the storage area off the family room.  It is one of those old garbage cans that was buried and had a lid that you step on to pop it up...not sure how the garbage people retrieved all the garbage in a hole, but there it is.  Scott is going to fill it with gravel and then pour cement on the top...hopefully we can make it look a little better..it does have a rim about an inch that sticks up above the ground so he is planning to pound it down to make it flat!  Bill had all sorts of man made platforms, covered with many carpet pieces (of course) in this back storage space...it was an accident waiting to happen, for sure!  So we hauled everything out of there, it is a really nice storage area.  Things are looking good though...the house is finally all clean and we will go over today for some "staging" to get it ready for showing!

Sunday was Father's day...can you believe I did not take a picture of the "Big Father"?  Not sure how that happened...my thought was on getting a picture of Dina and me with our short hairs.  She looks so beautiful (of course a mother always thinks that!!) and I know this will be the last time she will ever have short hair..so I wanted a picture of us together...can you figure out which is the daughter and which is the mother?  *wink

I pulled out my camera and the first thing she said was, "What are you doing?"  She told me she didn't look pretty...no make up on today!

 

We not only celebrated Father's Day with a BBQ in their backyard (notice all the Tiki lights behind them?) we also celebrated their 14th anniversary!!  They left the next day for three days in Coeur d'Alene for a little golfing and relaxing without any children!!  We cannot be happier and thankful to Our Lord for giving us good health for Dina...the latest scan still showed remission!!

Thanks for checking in with me!  We are heading to Arizona on Thursday to watch Ellie play some volleyball in a big nationwide tournament in Phoenix...Dina is going and will have Lily and a friend of Lily's...we decided to join them...the weather will be hot for sure.  We understand it is above 100 even way north where our house is...YIKES, record high temperatures for north Scottsdale!
