I went back to the doctor in Tupelo last week. I had thought that he was going to do a procedure, but he decided to wait. I will go back the last of January and he will make a decision on that date.
I have been enjoying my heated garage for the last several days. I have spent quite a bit of time in the garage. I have added some more shelves and unpacked an rearranged some of the items in the garage. I still have to unpack some of my stuff from Wynne, but I have most of it arranged in the shop.
Amy is still off work with her back. She thinks that she will go back to work late next week. She had to go to the doctor on Monday. She thought she had the flu, but it was not. The doctor gave her some shots and medicine. She is doing much better today.
I have been going to the coffee shop several days a week. I enjoy visiting with the guys.
It is in the middle fifty degrees here today, but it has rained just about all day. The temp for Saturday is predicted to be 73. If it is that warm I will probably do some work in the yard. I need to pick up some limbs that have fallen during the last few weeks.
Tommy has bought another accounting firm. He plans to combine the two businesses in to one. This new firm has a large amount of tax business, so he will be very busy from now till April 15. He is excited about the additional business. He has done some tax work over the years, but his tax business will greatly expand. I am proud for him.
Pat has purchased an i pad. She is learing how to use it. She has wanted one for a while and now she has her very own.

It has been several days since I have written on this blog. A lot has gone on since I last wrote.
I will be going to the surgeon in Tupelo today. He plans to do a procedure that will correct a problem that I have dealt with since last April. I hope this procedure works.
Amy has been off of work since the first of December. She hurt her back at work and has not been able to to to work. She has also moved since I last wrote. I helped her move. I had to make a trip to Wynne to get some of her household items from storage. She and her roommate have a house now. Her roommate bought a home in Southhaven. They had been living in an apartment. They seem to like the house much better.
We had a good Christmas time. This year my family came to our house for breakfast. For the last several years we have been going to my brothers home for breakfast. Amy spent several days here during December. She was not able to work, so she came home to be with family. Her boyfriend came Christmas day and spent the day. We enjoyed having him here that day and Amy for the several days she was able to spend with us.
I have been working in my garage quite a bit during the last several days. No big projects, just being able to get our to the house. I did add a TV to the garage in December. I had one in Wynne, and I missed having a TV in the garage here in Iuka.
I went to the courthouse yesterday and had the property here in Iuka put in my name. When I bought the property I gave mother a lifetime estate. That meant that it stayed in her name until her death. She died last January, but you have to wait until the first of next year to make the change.
I will try to write more often than I have during the last few weeks.

I went back to the doctor in Tupelo today. Everything is fine. The doctor is going to keep a check on my problem for the next several months. I will go back to see him in four months then six months and then a year. He thinks everything is OK and I have nothing to be concerned about. It was very good news.
Since my test last week I have had some pain some fever. I have felt very very bad. The doctor said that it had nothing to do with the problem he has been working with me for the past several weeks. I have spent several days in the bed with fever and feeling very bad. Today was a good day. I only had a small fever late this afternoon and have had no pain. He told me to take Advil four times a day for a few days and everything should be fine. On Tuesday I told Pat that I was tired of feeling bad. I think everything is going to be fine in a day or two.
Amy came home on Saturday morning. Tommy and I went to the Mississippi State game on Saturday. As always happens when she comes home, she got a call early Sunday morning to return to Memphis for a job. We hated to see her go so soon, but we are glad she is able to make some extra money.
She is home now for two days. She is off this week Thursday and Friday. If it goes as it has over the past several visits she will get a call and have to return early. But we are glad that we get to spend some time with her.
Pat and I plan to meet some old friends of ours in Tupelo on Saturday afternoon and have supper together and have a good long visit. We look forward to seeing them again.
It has turned cool here again. The highs this week are in the low to middle fifties. It is November.

We did not have any trick or treats tonight. Last year we had one. We used to have several hundred in Wynne until we started leaving town on Halloween night. Several years we had over 400 kids.
It has gotten cooler here. We have had some frost for the past several mornings. We have not had a killing frost yet, the grass is still green. I have picked up the leaves several times over the past few days. It is easier to stay up with them falling rather than deal with all of them at one time.
On Monday I cut the new quarter round to go around the new kitchen cabinets. I also stained it and put the finish on the quarter round. On Tuesday morning I installed it around the new cabinets.
Yesterday I also built a patio. Last week Pat and I bought some concrete stones to build the patio If is about seven feet by twelve feet. It looks good. We still plan to build a deck on the back of the house but that will be some time in the future.
Pat and I went to the tri-cities on Friday night. Tommy's daughter was in a senor play at her school. That was the first time I had been to a high school play in years. We went over to Tommy's house on Saturday night for supper and watch the Miss State and Alabama football game. We enjoyed the food, but the game was a bummer for State fans.
I will be going to the hospital in Tupelo tomorrow for another test. I will go back to the doctor next week and he will discuss my options based on the results of the test. I am not looking forward to the test, but I am ready to find out about my condition and how it will be treated or if no treatment is necessary at this time.

Today is my birthday. This is the first time I have not celebrated with my mother. I was born on her birthday. She died in January of this year.
Amy came to Iuka this weekend and as usual she had to leave early to do a job for one of the funeral homes she does contract work for. It was good to have her visit for my birthday.
Pat and I met some old friends of ours for supper on Saturday night. They live in Southhaven. We me at a cafe about half way for both of us. We had a good fish supper and had a long visit. We plan to do it again next month. We plan to meet in Tupelo. I look forward to our meal and visit.
When Pat and I got home on Saturday night Amy had displayed on the carport the gift she and Pat had bought for my birthday. It is a large metal Mississippi State sign. I was surprised and pleased with the gift. Pat also gave me a card that plays Who Let the Dawgs Out. Cute--------
Pat and I are going to a funeral this morning. A friend of ours passed away on Friday. We know him from church and we are also members of the car club with him. He was a retired school administrator. He served the Iuka district and when he retired several years ago he went to Hazen Arkansas and served for five years in administration. He was a very good friend.
Pat and I will go to Memphis for an appointment with her heart doctor. On Wednesday we go to Tupelo for an appointment I have with my doctor.

My medical problem was not taken care of on Friday. I have to go to another doctor in Tupelo on Monday.
For the past several days I have been building a console for my old truck. I finished the job this morning. It really looks good with the bucket seats I installed a few weeks ago.
Today is the wedding day for Jenni and Billy. The wedding will be today at 5:00 pm. Amy is on here way home to attend the wedding.

It has been cool here for the last few days. It is that time of year.
I have had two small medical problems the last few days. I have visited two doctors and had a CT scan and an MRI. I made my second trip to the doctor in Tupelo today. One of the problems has been taken care of. I have an appointment with another doctor tomorrow. I hope that my second problem will be resolved after that visit.
I have been working in the yard a little over the last few days. I cut the grass today and used my bagger to remove the leaves. The grass will not have to be cut many more times, but I will have to deal with the leaves for a long time.
Amy is still off work with her broken bone. She went to the doctor on Monday of this week. He told her she could go back to work next Monday. She has enjoyed not having to go to work, but she also got bored some of the time. Two of the embalmers who worked with Amy have left since she last worked. She will have to get used to working with new people when she returns next Monday.
