February already!!

Pretty hard to believe, isn't it! Grandson Chris turns 21 this month! Wow! He's quite a handsome young man...and a nice one too!!!

Saturday was a busy day for all of us. I set the alarm for 6:30 AM - and that was unusual in itself! I drove over the Jocelyn's house - Marcia, Dian, Brooke and Grayson were there - and they were all trying to help with the packing.,...She was allowed 70 lbs per bag - and they had the scale out and weighing the bags and shifting stuff - very busy Marcia cooked breakfast - which was yummy! Finally it was time to go to the airport...Dian said her goodbyes there and stayed home with Grayson....Jocelyn, Brooke and I piled into my van and Marcia drove it down to the airport....Finally found the Luftwansa (sp???) counter and the bags passed inspection okay...but her carryons didn't. Discovered she could have three instead of two so she shifted stuff around (again!) and it was time to say goodbye....Gosh, that was hard. Especially when it was Brooke's turn...What an adventure this is for her!! It was a 10 hour flight with another hour on the train from Frankfurt to Bonn....She e-mailed us all that she had arrived safe and sound. She was in hotel for the first couple of days and is now in her apartment - which she says is "okay" - I say that is better than a "dump"...LOL

So....after that, we came back to my place and Dian and Marcia moved stuff around my apartment to accommodate Jocelyn's smaller computer table...It is really nice but I have one major problem....since I have hi-speed Internet, there is only one telephone line that runs my Internet....and it is in the bedroom...I called and the phone company told me it would charge me to switch the outlets...so hopefully, on Saturday, Marcia will come down and we will see about stringing a longer phone wire - tacking it to the floor...and voila---it will work!!

Needless to say - I was exhausted by Saturday night! Still have to figure out what to do with the stuff I took out of the old computer table but that will come...A trip to Target is in order, I believe!

Went to Physical Therapy yesterday...because of my many falls....come to find out that my right leg is weaker than the left - thanks to the neuropathy - and that makes sense since, now that I think about it, my right foot is the one tripping me up all the time! Who knew???

Well...I had better go unplug the Internet and get busy. I will be glad when I don't have to do that any more. It does cut down on my computer time, though;....Have a good one everybody!!
