I have industrial strength snots! Yesterday I was spewing chunks and manufacturing 'nana pudding (all I needed was 'nilla wafers).

On Friday I took Krl to the doctor in Albany. She had gone from low pulse, low blood pressure to a pulse of 100 and blood pressure through the roof. On Friday her pulse was 102 and BP was 199/110. Doctor Mackie nearly did his drawers.

They did an EKG, blood work, and scheduled her for a wellness check up. (Go figure). The EKG showed no heart issues and good intervals so the doctor put her back on a beta blocker!

It will probably be mid week before we get blood test results back.

On our way home we ran by Firehouse Bar and Grill for a quick lunch. Krl was famished as she had been fasting for her tests. She did some major damage to a really good cheese burger and onion rings! Excellent food FYI.

Attended services at Southern Hills this morning. Very enjoyable, uplifting. (I couldn't help but giggle as the praise team had the congregation stand for the singing of every single song. Pepa would have hated it!). Lunch afterwards, trip to Pep Boys, then Verizon.

I am shopping for a smart phone. The one thing I know is I don't want an Iphone. I want to be an Ndividual, not a cookie cutter model.

I know what I want but have questions why the supposed same phone is $50 cheaper at Sam's or Walmart, than at the Verizon store. My big question is if the phones at Sam's and Walmart are fourth generation phones or are they third. I want to be leading edge technology, at least on the day I buy it!

The way I update, I need to hedge my bet. My biggest concern is if I am too rough for a smart phone. The last time I had an insurance claim I could still talk on my phone but it took both hands. One for the talking speaker, the other hand for the hearing speaker. I looked like I had one of those old phones that you cranked up.

I was joking with a friend the other day that I was going to buy a rotary dial phone in honor of Pepa!

I woke early (which is par for the time change). I lay in bed for about an hour, cuddling houndgirls and just thinking about things. It was kind of a blue morning. Thought about losing Pepa. Wondering how much time we have left with Memama. Fred. TJ. How blessed I was to have my Dad until I was 58, and how terribly unfair it was for Fred and TJ's kids to lose a parent as young as they were. I often think about Wade being only 25 when Gon Gon died at 61.

Life isn't fair.

I'm not arguing, but GOD, you've got some 'splainin' to do!

The two oldest granddaughters are in the Big Apple! NYC! Ln on the senior choir trip. Lrn as a 21 year old chaperon (???). Go figure.

I'm sure it will be an experience. Rian and Erica love NYC.

Rian and crew are in Salido for spring break. They are spending time with friends, got a dozen trot lines out and have their boat with them. So far I think Rian has worked on the boat more than he has done anything else.

Drew has reverted to his Moses persona but I have been trying to convince him if he wants to be captain of the boat, he needs to become Noah!

I am wondering what kind of day is in store for tomorrow. Pepa's lawyer said we were scheduled for 2pm at the County Judges for Pepa's will probate. The notices say 10am.

Memama's sister, Robbie spent the last week with her. I think it was good medicine. I really get tickled listening and watching them. Pat took them to Fort Worth to see Betsy yesterday, then drove back through Brownwood to take Robbie home before returning to Roscoe.

AND, the field is set for the NCAA Roundball Tourney! Pick 'em guys! I never watch basketball until playoffs, then I get into it! Oh, and never pro ball!

Well, let's get to it! Have a day and a week!

FATHER, thank YOU for all YOUR blessings. Heal our hearts. Help us to make good choices. May our day and week glorify YOU!
