A lousy two days

Well, Jay and I are finally feeling better and it was one duzy of a flu. and it was FLU!
We got word Wens. that Jay will not be offered the position he was hoping for in Co. then today, we learned that his brother David has cancer in his throat. We don't know more then that, they are still doing tests.
So, we are "escaping". Heading west to be exact. Going to Jenna's and then on to see Sarah and Dan's new house. Then we will all be back in Monte Vista for Christmas and have about a week together, then Dan and Sarah go back do CA and the rest of us head back to Indiana so Reid can see his folks.
More went I get the energy!

Just creeping along

Jay is still not feeling good. He has already gone to bed and it is only 10:00. I'm doing ok but still don't seem to have a lot of energy. However, I did do the dishes, get laundry done and manage to squeeze a shower out of the hot water tank! And give Albie a bath since he went out and played in the mud this morning. I was reading and he was happy and I wasn't paying attention so he needed a bath by the time he wanted to come back in! But at least now he is a clean dog again!
And there you have it. Our not exciting day!

The four day weekend

We had a good holiday, well until the end.
Enjoyed the time at David's. Sheba didn't seem to like Albie any better but they didn't really get into it. The food was good and we had a lot of time to talk.
Friday we drove down south to KY. We stopped at the grave yard in Linton and put flowers out first. The weather was pretty and so was the scenery when we were driving. When we got to Dave Dotys' Hudson and Rhea were there but not Dave and Teresa. Their new dog decided that Albie was a threat and really took off after him. Once Dave got there and introduced them correctly they started playing. Looking back I think she was thinking that she was protecting "her kids".
Sat. saw about 17 of us there for dinner. 4 KY Dotys, 2 Carmel Dotys. Granddad and Loretta, Eldonna, Derek, Candy, Little Stephen and Matthew, Lorraine, Charlie, Susan, Shiela and Austin! Teresa took me up to show me where they have thier work stuff at and in the process we were gone for a couple of hours. Then late in the afternoon Jay and I left for Ohio. Got there about 8:00 p.m. We had eaten at an Arby's and when I got sick in the night I blamed it on the sandwhich. However, after last night and today I'm not so sure. Jay has been feeling a bit worse then horrible. He keeps moaning. I will admit a bit of a desire to put him out of his misery! Hopefully he will be felling better tomorrow.
