Ordering

Hide the i-pad and cell phone. I have had a few hours of ordering goodies from some of my favorite places.  Stonewall Kitchen, New Braunfels Smokehouse, Wolfermans, Robt. Rothchild, and of course, Amazon.


It’s a dangerous thing to have these devices on hand.  But what fun and what a way to polish one's ego as we order the things we so enjoy. I found Karo pancake syrup (formerly Karo waffle syrup) and Green label B’rer

Rabbit molasses on Amazon. YaHooooo Amazon. Two

Favorites from my earlier lifetime.  


There  are many wonderful tastes from Yoders, a Mennonite store up the road!  With Yoders, I  have to depend on Jon or Pat to pick up an order. They also have an appetite for those delish BBQs with equally delish coleslaw on homemade buns.  Can it get any better? 

 

Top all this off with the homemade vanilla ice cream that Jon and Pat make………. Oh My!

It's So Good to Be Home...

Image
Between December of 2017 and June of 2018, I spent   all my time between hospitals and rehab units.   Seven months away from home.   Sometimes O.K. care, sometimes not.   Mostly the latter.   Leading up to this disability was a pacemaker insertion, three stents and then an aortic valve replacement. Then a full-blown infection, which meant the long time in the hospital interspersed with bits of rehab.   A long and trying period . Thanks to my family who helped so much, and kept my spirits up most of the time.   Finally on June 22, 2018, I landed on my own doorstep. Thank goodness. I was overjoyed to be home again… Mind you I am still weak as a kitten most of the time, can’t really negotiate much activity except coloring and quilting, but that’s O.K.   I’m home.   Pat and Jon are the wind beneath my arms and the power plant for my legs. They are really appreciated. Pushing on! Pushing on toward new adventures. -- Veegee

Grocery Orders

  What a big help it is to have Walmart grocery pickup. If you haven’t tried this, do!  Freedom at last to not have to trek through a busy store, spending your own valuable time scanning shelves, checking produce, waiting in line at checkout. Thanks to Walmart, you can send in your order (ie, email), schedule a pickup time at your convenience, and arrive to have the order delivered to your car, put in the trunk, and NO TIP!  Get in line and check this newer service out. Other businesses are getting ready to do the same thing. Keep watching for other announcements. Whew, enjoy the breathing time. By the way, I haven’t had any problems with the orders, delivery, or  purchases since using this service. Kudus to Walmart!   --Veegee

VeeGee's Advice on Office Visits

Image
Have you been to the doctors office lately? Well most of the ninety-plus-group seem to be there frequently these days. My advice, if you have not already learned this, is to take a book with you to ease the pain of the almost guaranteed WAIT Syndrome. And what a pain it is. I don’t know what happened to screw up appointment times, but I can guess. In order to see more patients, and get more medicare receipts, several patients are scheduled at the SAME time. Ouch… a sure way to mess up a schedule if there ever was one.   So, go prepared, put on your leisure suit, read your book or magazine (not the hundred-year-old-ones you see in the office) and relax. Mind you, I love my doctors and I’ll wait a reasonable time, then... Well, YOU decide what YOUR time is worth! -- VeeGee
