Time goes on

Hello all, we are still missing Keota, but time does go on and we are keeping busy. Seems like we have had something going on every day. Last Friday we went back to Sleepy Valley and said Hi to everyone. I was suppose to have a table a craft show, but bowed out due to Keota. We then went to vet and paid up our bill, it wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. Then it was off to lunch and shopping for a new recliner for Roger. His broke, he thought he was going to be able to fix it, but saw the BIG spring under there and knew he wouldn't be able to get it back on. We ended up getting a new Lazy Boy and he really likes it.........I am jealous now.

Saturday we got a phone call from friends, Dick and Darlene to meet them at a flea market north of town, so off we went, we then went back to there place and went with them to their parks pot luck. Very good food, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Sunday we met up with Dick and Darlene again and went out to eat for Chinese. It wasn't as good as we have had in Cedar Rapids or Tipton, but all in all it was a fun time had by all. We returned to their place and sat around a visited with them and their friends Dolly and Mike who also went to eat with us.

Monday, I started off the day going to my computer club. It runs from 9 - 11:30 am so it takes up most of the morning. I think there must of been about 20 or so lap tops all set up and believe it or not, we all got on the Internet at one time this week. It was back home for lunch then off to my quilting. I volunteer there and sew quilts for the needy.

Tuesday.............I thought I would try a new activity so off I went to Line Dancing. Many of you know I use to teach dancing many.........many..............many years ago, so I really don't have too much trouble in that field. The hardest part for me is getting use to it. My hips really get to hurting..................I'm just not use to it any more. I left there after an hour and 45 min. of dancing with a very red face and sweat running off my body. Guess I got a work out.

Wednesday..............We decided to make a trip to the flea market at Don Wes and so off we went. We ended up getting an area rug to put between the couch and our two chairs. That area gets alot of foot traffic so thought a rug may help. I must say it looks quite nice. Got a brown/tan one with a western theme.

That brings it to today...................Once again I took off for line dancing and this time went a little better prepared. I wore shorts this time, got out my head (sweat) band and my neck cooler and took my water and a towel. The head band was soak and wet but I fared better then on Tuesday. My hips still hurt but I think every time will get a little better. They meet 3 times a week (Sat too) but this Sat I will not be able to go, as I am having a table a craft show here in this park.

Thanks to everyone who sent messages about Keota, I received many emails, phone calls and cards. It has been a week now, it seems funny not to have him here, but we know he was suffering and we didn't want that. He will always be our loving Keota.

Keep warm...............drive safe................Happy Trails
