Mom and Dad

These lovely people are my parents. Weren't they cute? Mom passed away in 1984 (the worst year of my life) and dad passed away in 1989. You think I look like either of them?

A side note, mom and dad divorced after my oldest brother, Joe Lee was born, dad went off to WWII, and when he came back, they remarried and had the rest of us. My brother Larry was born 9 months after he returned! I came along 7 years later, and Honey 22 months after me! Too bad I am the cutest sibling!!!!! :-)

HAVE I MENTIONED? The above mentioned siblings are ALL going to Vegas Memorial Day?

My Kids

This is a picture of my kids! Tobi is happier than I have seen her in YEARS! My grandkids seem happy too. As soon as I can, I will upload all the wedding pics.

I have been using Clint's desk for my desktop computer, and he needed it for school. I am NOT going to get on the floor and download pics, so as soon as I buy or borrow a desk, I will get busy! Until then, you must wait....

We have yet another wedding this weekend...in Branson. CB is presiding, so we have to go Friday AND Saturday. And gas is over $3 a gallon?? What the heck!!??

We spent the evening last night with the Comstocks cleaning the Concession Stand. It opens NEXT weekend. But, even that was fun times together. We will put finishing touches next week!

Well, gotta get to work, because I need off early to go to Branson for the wedding rehearsal! OH! and almost 2 weeks before VACATION!!!!!!

MAY 2007

So glad warmer weather is here! But, this is such a busy month! We leave Friday for Stillwater for Tobi's wedding. I REALLY like Scott, her husband to be. And I will be so glad to see Brandon, Kyli and Megan. I will post pics when I return. Her wedding is at 8pm Saturday, and then we will stay a bit and head back. I have to be at Tan Tara at lake of the Ozarks by 9a on Sunday for our annual Missouri MGMA (Medical Group Management Association) conference, to which I am a Board member. So, I am part of the 'hosting' of this conference also. I should be back by dinnertime on Tuesday. Wednesday is church, and then Thursday, we HAVE to clean that concession stand. Friday, we have a rehearsal dinner, and then Saturday is the wedding of my secretary. The wedding is in Branson, and CB is officiating.

Oh, and did I tell you my family is taking their vacation together the last week in May? Well, we are, all my siblings and alot of their children (both my chillins' are going). And YIPPPEEEEE!! It is in Vegas. But, more on that later.

Well, enjoy the weather.

EXHAUSTED

I just HATE it when you wake up Monday morning, and you are already exhausted. Just a busy weekend, and I haven't fully recouped. Friday, as you know from my previous post was a VERY LONG day, but the events were a success. And it was TOTALLY relaxing at the Arnolds Saturday night. I have a few pics to post later. Sunday is always a great day, but it is NOT restful, that is for sure.

Going to the Cardinals game tonight, thanks to one of my docs. Tomorrow night we should be home....YIPPPPEEEEE!

Well, have a great week.

Moon Dance

What is a MOON DANCE you ask? Oh, let me explain. Back in 2000, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Dr. Tom Steele came to work, worked his whole shift, not breathing well, and when he finished his shift, they took xrays, and there it was! His lungs were filled with cancer. As I have said before, I have the best docs ever...soooo many of them work when they don't feel good, they will even come in early to get IV fluids before a shift when they are under the weather! Anyhow, Dr Steel's prognosis was grim. So in February, we had a surprise party for him. He played in a blues band, and he thought his band had a gig...well, they did, but it was for him. It was great...and we called that evening the first annual Moon Dance. He passed away in April of that year. To honor him, our Emergency Department has a symposium. This is our fifth year. Of course it is call the Tom Steele Symposium. This year it is all about peds, like one talk is "The First 60 Seconds" and another is what to look for in a baby who presents as "won't quit crying" (and yes, we get alot of that!). Also one talk on "The Ouchless IV", and yes, we will all get to experience that! Starts at 6:30 Friday morning, and goes until 5. THEN...we will have our SIXTH Annual Moon Dance at Bass Pro. This year it is a Luau. So, I will go directly from the symposium to Bass Pro to decorate. I hope to be gone by midnight! It is a lot of fun, but very busy. We even will have karaoke (I sing karaoke EVERY Sunday).

Saturday, resting and chillin' at the Arnolds Saturday night.

We got Karen home from the hospital yesterday. They are still watching her closely!

Oh, and who is turning 40???????? DANA COMSTOCK!! On Sunday. So be sure to talk a little louder to her....she is OOOOOLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDD!!!

Are you kidding me????

I just heard AGAIN!! SNOW!! Helloooooooo...it is April the 12th!! I am already sad to see the lilacs gone, the redbuds and dogwoods lose color....and now, they say snow Saturday! Good thing I will be at church for the Authentic Women's Conference! I am so looking forward to a great time of worship!

My friend Karen's physician put her in the hospital yesterday. She has been sick for some time, and they are trying to find out the cause. I stayed with her last night until about 9:30, then CB and I went and got her car, and took it to her house and tended to Rosie. I hope we know something today.

I work all day tomorrow, and then go out to the ER to work from 5p until about 1230a. And SNOW Saturday....ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? ok, enough whinning

BBRRRRRRR!!!!

I cannot believe it! The weather has been so beautiful, almost HOT at times....and now, they are saying the word SNOW for tomorrow! Only in the 40's for a high! HEY!! I put my winter clothes away! Am I the only foolish one?

Well, I just THOUGHT that our holiday season was busy! HA to that! From now to July 1, we are BUSY! Anyhow, budget season is over and approved at work, that is always an accomplishment, and I am working on the docs' summer schedules. I have gotten approval to hire a FT secretary, and I am sure happy about that!

EASTER weekend coming. CB's parents will be here with us. Always such a sweet time at church. I was at rehearsal last night and heard ALL about Sunday's service (and I am not telling), but don't miss it! And isn't the choir sounding fabulous???

Well, enough chatting for now......
