another day

i'm semi anxiously awaiting the results of the ultrasound from last week on the thyroid. janis, the nurse from dr. gannon's office, called and said that dr. gannon wanted this other radiologist to read the ultrasound and see what he says before they tell me anything. so i wait, kind of impatiently. we're doing good otherwise. we took the boat out about a week and a half ago. we rode it around saylorville for a bit. we leave the 19th for the game in kc and then we're leaving for branson for a week. bruce and i will rent a condo down there and take the boat out on taneycomo for the week. i've already made arrangements to board the kitty and the dogs. our garden looks good with the rain we've been getting. sunday night we were all in the basement because of the tornado warnings. but fortunately we got rain and that was it. we had a potluck at church sunday and i made 2 trays of cookies to take plus a savery chicken casserole. everyone enjoyed it. we had enough cookies leftover for bruce to take to seneca and they devoured them. mom is doing well. she still has some numbness in her hand and says the shot she went for did her no good. but she's ok. i stopped at uncle hank and aunt kate's gravesite today. i don't remember ever being there but it's right up the street from us and when i came home from the dentist i stopped. i wanted to see if anyone had put any flowers on their grave. i finally found it and yes, there were flowers on their graves. henry is there also. (for mike and kylie, this is grandpa's brother. his name was charles mathews and everyone called him hank and his wife's name was katherine, but she was always aunt kate to us. they had a son who is gone and his name was henry, they also have 2 or 3 daughters that are alive.) i'm not usually a big cemetary person. i saw uncle ray yesterday. he came over for me to put some ointment in his eye. i need to talk to him more. he calls and tells me someone like dolly parton is on "60 minutes" or Vince Gill is going to be at the civic center and they're just not my favorite artists. well, bruce just drove in for the evening so i better go. take care everyone, treasa
