Uffda
When i texted Kim about TJ amd Bethal she asked how Denny was doing.
My answer: Thanks for asking. Well... his left eye was hurting Saturday so we had an appointment with IG eye doctor who sent us to SCity yesterday. They said inflammation and eye drops 5xday. Next appointment Friday Hip surgery is scheduled for November 5 and he's had blood draw in SC yesterday, and got info for pre-surgery info on what to eat pre and post, activities pre and post, and what to take/ what not to take as far as his regular medications. Uffda. Last Thursday he got cortizone shots in his shoulders ... to help with pain...and they continue to give him pain. He is taking physical therapy twice a week .... and because his eye prescription changed with cataract surgery I am his personal uber driver Plus he can't see to read/ run the TV remote/ use the computer/ quite frustrating. So thanks for asking :). And as you can see prayers are appreciated.

Hurrah!! When I got home the patio chairs were being washed and packed into the garage. I stitched up the cushions before we washed. them. I took a nap and then went outside to run the tiller, but it had a flat time and try to cut the dead zinnias so I can till that ground. At 5 we went to meet Sarah, Amelia M. B's baby. She talked about their work with GEM. Fun to see the 4 generations.

Cherokeee and places beyond.
I was up and headed to Cherokee. I took the boys to the wellness Center to play PB from 8-9:20. Then we drove to Alta and looked around at the Olive Branch. I got a pretty round white wicker Tray. We got hot dogs at the gas station and ate them in the Rav4, then I listened to BSF zoom call until the battery on my laptop ran out. The boys played at the park. We drove back to Cherokee and I looked around New Leaf. The boys played with toys while I put items with price tags out on the floor. The leaves were pretty on the way to Cooks, We stopped and looked at leaves and the boys rode around. I visited with Mandy, so good, before I went home to Denny and BLT's.

Heading North TJ!!!
I got up early, but Denny was earlier. He had gotten the kitchen cleaned and I got the Rav 4 out of the machine shed. We headed to excelsior about 9 and got there about 3. Uffda!! long drive, but the weather was wonderful and the trees in Minnesota were gorgeous!! From Lukes, we went to the game where we met Matt, Becky and Kane. TJ was feeling under the weather, but gave his all during the game they lost 13 to 15. Hard fought match. Matt had planned to take us to a nice restaurant about 8 minutes away from the field, but not closer to Lukes'. Matt asked me what I thought and after 3rd quarter and it getting dark I said I would really like to eat closer to Lukes or at Lukes. Thee wasn't a Caseys around, and Matt called Luke. He recommended Olivie's for pizza. BUT )as Matt was calling during the game and trying to line up something) Olives order for pizza changed from 8 pm until first pizza time to be ready at 8:15. Well, I rode with Matt to pick up the pizza and Denny rode with Becky and Kane to Luke's. Matt and I sat outside while we waited for the pizza. I found a pen that I could use to write a Texas check. The pizza tasted great, they left for home and we went to bed.

Physical Therapy
I worked around the farm most of the day. Denny had cut the plywood for around the window and door on the south side of the CSA shed. It was sunny, hot, buggy, and the new wood needed to be painted. Denny started and I took over. But I really wasn't comfortable high on the ladder with a paint can. At 3:30 we went to Physical Therapy. At home we watched tv and then headed to bed.
