1 Year Anniversary for Daddy

February 5th was a very special day for me, it had been one year since Daddy called for me and Wally to come get him, he was ready to move to Forrest City. We had been working hard during the month of January last year to get him to come to live with us, but he had to wait until HE was ready. It has been a fast moving year, I really can't believe it has been a year. With lots of prayers and God's help we have survived a year that could have been a disaster, we sold the house in Cotton Plant, Daddy has adjusted well to his new home, Wally has been a saint, Scooter loves Pawpaw, and I have learned what patience really means. It has taken our entire family to make sure that he has gotten what he needed. He had a pacemaker put in and as Art says, "The Energizer Bunny" has been charged up!!! :-)

I have actually found out a lot about my own Daddy that I didn't know. Living with someone really helps to know someone!!! He likes to put his PJ's under his cover with his heating pad, I couldn't find where he was hiding them!!! He has taught me how to cook fish, except I had to put a stop of cooking fish inside the house!! We are going to save that task when it is pretty outside!!

Wally has discovered that he actually doesn't have to eat everything that Daddy eats or cooks, he claims I'm trying to kill him!!! I have found out that some things just never change, Daddy still loves ballgames, playing cards, visiting with friends and family, and talking on his cell phone!! He loves his phone!! Would never have believed that!!

I could go on and on, but just wanted to share with family and friends our little anniversary!! Thanks for all the support from his family and his abundance of friends, we love you all.

I will try and do better to keep you updated. Pawpaw cheered Haley on to a winner in the Brinkley Jr High Valentine Queen!! We are so proud of her.

1Year Anniversary for Daddy

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Sister is home and doing better. She spent 2 nights in hospital and went through diagnostic clinic. Thanks for the prayers!

Pawpaw has been on the go this week!! Feeling better but has about worn himself out!! :-) He is too funny - AT TIMES!!! He started his week going to Cotton Plant Monday to the senior citizens lunch at the church. I asked him if he played Bingo with them, he said no, he didn't like bingo, but he told the Preacher that he liked to shoot dice if he had any!@!@!@! No one could get away with that but him!! Tuesday he went to McCrory to watch BB game, Wednesday he rested all day so that he could go play cards and stay out late, then Thursday he went to ballgames again, and when I saw him at noon he couldn't decide which BB game he was going to tonight.

He was in a delimma this morning though, his cell phone went out, and he couldn't understand why. He said he didn't need one any way, he never uses it!!! EXCUSE ME!!! The 2nd place trophy for using a cell phone is him, Wally is the 1st place winner!! So when I went home at noon I had him all fixed up with a new phone and tried to give instructions but that didn't go very well. Anyway, he is talking calls again.

The weekend is almost here and Wally and I can't decide just when we will run to Jonesboro to see Baby Max. I may have new pictures next week!!! :-)

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I have had computer problems but got it back and running good now. We had a different but wonderful Christmas. We spent several days just looking at Baby Max!! :-) Daddy had a good Christmas he visited just about everyone!! Then he took the stomach virus or ate something bad while he was visiting Trish and family. He was sick for a complete week. But I finally got him back up and going again, wasn't easy!! Maybe I should say Wally and I got him back up and going again!! Don't know what I would do without Wally!! He helps me so much with Daddy.

Daddy went back to doctor last Tuesday, got a good checkup, just had to change his blood thinner a little, gosh he hates to make changes!! He has been to 2 funerals this week.

We had a call this week about Mother's niece Bobbie passing away. She was Aunt Brooks' daughter. I called and talked with Brenda, Judy, and Eddie. It has been so long since we were in touch with each other. Mother loved her family. We have lots of really happy memories of the time with Bobbie and her family. Daddy went to visit with Johnny Hudspeth and then went to Elaine and visited with Charlie, Eddie and Linda.

I will try and do better of keeping up with my blog. Prayers are with you all!
