Tomorrow cataract surgery!

I went today and got my eyes measured for the lens and received drops, and in the morning Doc and I will go forth on the fast transit to the eye center and after we have stayed there a couple of hours we will take a taxi home. My daughter will get there when she can. She has to lead a shot clinic tomorrow, but expects to be done in time possibly to take me back at 1:30 for a post op check, but if she can't make it, Doc and I will return in a taxi. The right eye will be done tomorrow and in a couple of weeks and a half he will do the other eye. My doctor has inspired confidence in me as he seems very experienced.
Tomorrow night my son Dan is coming by to check out my computer and see what can be done with it. I told him I thought Dante's downloads and the two viruses may have combined with Explorer 8 to raise heck with the pop ups like the photograph browser. Instead of going away they just drop to the bottom and when I try to get off the Internet it just keeps saying website recovered, there is a problem! Instead of showing the tab shut down. That's why I can't get off the Internet. I can add a blog entry like this, can comment, but more than likely those blogs won't go away. I can get and send mail on aol and gmail and I can write entries on my family site and it goes away. It is mostly with blogs that I have trouble. Oh yes I get stuck on Facebook right away and can't even move.
I have been visiting blogs down to Doc's where explorer 8 is working fine, maybe because I don't write my blog down there. And no grandkids are allowed!
Raymond has been writing up a storm on his blog Cowboys and Bohemians. I love this format, but my blog list is down to the bottom. My sister Ann is also blogging on Kanyonland King and my friend LaRena, Winter of Life. Sister Linda wrote a poem for New Years in Vooman's Voice. Hope to visit you all in a few days. Don't know how well I will be able to see a blog and when. Ha. See you soon.

Thanksgiving Dinner at Ronda and Chad's house

Ronda with her best helper Chad do the finishing touches. I know Ronda would weary very fast cooking Thanksgiving dinner every year if she did not have his help. He cleans up and washes dishes, too! I made the fruit salad, but otherwise not worth much.












Gary is keeping an eye on the game. He drove Dan and me out there in his work truck. No traffic like last year!





















Ronda set her brother Dan to work. He keeps the patter going.
















Jamal and his girlfriend (drat, I got her name and forgot it again) but she's a cutie. She goes to nursing college and he to business college at ASU. She takes all her classes downtown just down the street aways from our complex!







Here I am with Ethan. A great day was had by all.

We thought of you in Austin, Raymond, and hoped you found some turkey. Scott we found out from Dan motored to San Francisco to have Thanksgiving with his mom, Linda, and sister Carissa. Dan and Gary are trying to figure out how to put his pool table back together again which had to be taken apart in his move from the other house. Gary was talking about lucking out and getting a job in Lake Havasu coming up. He works in the office on the bidding, a job requiring considerable skill, especially now days with construction jobs scarce. Chad told us that next year he will be traveling to China, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, and Europe, etc. on his new job as general manager of his company in Phoenix. All I can say is wow. Ronda is presently working at her nurse job, giving swine flu shots right now to elementary school children. Dan has the weekoff from his job at the Sheraton. I am so thankful everyone is working.
We arrived early, by 12 and left around 3 as I did not get much sleep last night and badly needed a nap! I like it when everyone seems to enjoy each other, and I was very happy that Gary joined us this year.
