Good Morning....
Didn't get here till late last night. Had a nice day here with my mom. I grilled burgers and the usual sides for a picnic. She enjoys coming here.
We are hoping that today DMIL will go to a rehab place...and hoping it will be the facility she will be living in. Not sure what will happen to her room there since she can't go to it in her condition. Time will tell. DH said she was in a much better condition yesterday. She knew where she was and why but still doesn't know how it happened. She's been eating good too.
DD sent me pics of the kids eating s'mores. Teddy loves marshmallows...so that's probably all his s'more consisted of...LOL Then off to see some fireworks. The kids are loving it up there.
Not much news...hope everyone enjoyed their 4th whatever you did or didn't do. Have a great day.........

Good morning. It's a beautiful sunny day out, nice enough weather to help the mosquitos grow big and strong. They are a part of why I haven't gotten everything weeded by the retaining wall, it's hard to pull weeds when the skeeters are pulling you. We went to the IL's yesterday, MIL was under the water, I suggested just bringing it here, but was whistling into the wind. BIL had fireworks there for his kids, we left after. #2 and GF got in yesterday, it's great to see them. I met her at #1's wedding, she fits in well here. He is in town with the Yeti, there could be a stop here or there later today, I'm going to get a couple of things done now so I'll be ready for the group tomorrow. No idea how many, but there'll be food and beverages, a lake and a good view.
I had that Gall Bladder scan, apparently they said it is working fine, something was said about 65% Who knows what it is??? I have felt junky since that with a headache and stuff, so I am going to sit and hold the couch down for a bit yet as I am checking my list for tomorrow. Help yourselves to coffee, blessed be.

Good morning
Sheets are in the washer, and Mandy and I have been out and back. It nice to go out and it wasn't yet in the 90's in the morning. But it is really sticky. I could actually smell the moisture in the air, like it had rained. No rain though, just high dew point.
Sunday is yet another pot luck at church and I want to make my recipe for the Golden Coral mock crab salad. I need green onions and am too lazy to go and pick up any. So I took the start of a grocery list for next week, added the onions etc and sent it in to be delivered. Yep, I'm that lazy. LOL I'm going to make a crab spread for myself too as long as I'm making a mess. It doesn't take much to make a list that totals $35 anymore. I love delivery.
Yesterday was a do nothing day, just like most every other day.

It's a cloudy day here and maybe a few rain drops now and then. The 4th was very quiet here, just a normal day for me. I heard the sounds of fireworks last night. The fireworks here will be tonight. They NEVER have them on the actual 4th of July. I mean NEVER. Whatever!! LOL Some of my kids and grandkids will be here tomorrow and we'll grill out and play games. I will be busy in the kitchen and finish my cleaning today. I think!!
CJ You are such a caring daughter! and person. And your DH is too. I'm so thankful your mothers have the two of you and family to help them at this time.
ICOOK It'll be nice to get out and about with Christina for a while today. Be careful in the heat. I use a lot of hamburger too. There's so many ways to use it.
LAURIE I hope they find what is causing your discomfort. I often wonder how accurate the tests are.
MAMMA Yum! the mock crab salad sounds so good. Do you use it on crackers too? Stay cool!
GRAMMY It was so special to have the one on one time with DD and DH. I bet the younger ones had a great time at Lego land too. I hope you're feeling stronger and better today.
CAROLYN Be safe when you're out and about. I hope you get a perfect haircut and find some great deals when you shop.
Time to get some laundry going then do some serious work around here.

Good Morning Ladies - - - I have been out and about already this morning. I had a visit to the lab with a fasting visit, so I had made that for 9. Since I was going to be out anyway at that time, I scheduled the grocery order I placed last night for a 9:30 pickup. I was a little early, but it was all good. It's only 64 here and very humid and cloudy. We only had a few sprinkles yesterday about 1 until about 7, when it poured for awhile. Many of the fireworks that were scheduled for last night, are going to happen tonight now. Others will be tomorrow night, but had been planned for then. Yesterday was a long day for me, not because of the holiday, but because it started way too early. Last night, I took an extra strength Tynonal and slept for 4 hours! Glad I could get back to sleep after that too!
I had a message from Jen last night that she needed my Walmart and Fareway list, that their friend from Decorah was going to come to see her DGP &DGM on Sat. and would do my shopping for me. I told her that I had just placed a order for pickup today and that the cleaning lady had just went to Walmart for me too, so was good, but I would enjoy the visit if she had time. How nice is that?

Well, if it's not one thing, then it's another. DH & DBIL are still waiting to find out where DMIL will be sent. First they were told she could go to where she will be living, if they have a bed. Yes they do have a bed. But now someone else says Medicare isn't accepting that place and wants to send her somewhere quite far away. Doesn't make sense to me. It's a waiting game to see what's going to happen. It's all bureaucracy!
Greenback...that is so nice that your kids were thinking ahead for you. Hope that person does stop by to visit.
I've done some laundry and that is now in the dryer. Otherwise there isn't anything else pressing to do.

CJ, does your DMIL have Medicare plan or a Medicare Advantage plan? The Medicare Advantage plans are lower in premium but are notorious for not allowing for adequate choices when it comes to having to enter rehab, assisted care or full-care facilities. I was advised by multiple medical personnel (nurses and doctors) to NEVER consider a Medicare Advantage plan and I am so glad that neither Mike nor I have one; we have a full Medicare supplement plan. When my Mom needed care last year, the same thing happened to us; there were only 3 facilities in town that would take her Advantage plan and only one of those was acceptable to us. That one place didn't have a bed for her and we were then going to have to consider places as much as 45 minutes away and certainly not where there was anyone she knew and would make it very difficult for any of us to get to monitor her care on a very frequent basis. It was crazy and so frustrating! The social worker told us that is the problem with Medicare Advantage plan, the lower premium lures you in, but the resulting choices for real care are extremely restricted. My brother made her plan choice for her, not me, and, had she had a regular plan, we would have been able to get her into our choice of facility and the outcome could very well have been very different than it turned out with her passing in the hospital while we were struggling to find a place that would take her plan that was within any sort of reasonable distance.

The crab salad and the crab spread are both made and the kitchen is all cleaned up.
After lunch my Amazon order came..... a day early too. So I got the bathroom shelf put together. Those little screws and nuts reminded me that I need to trim my nails. I had a hard time holding those little things. But I am happy with the results. Not sure I'll keep the extra roll of toilet paper on it though. I think it looks tacky.
Now I'm going to try and organize my embossing folders. That won't be fun.
CJ, I'm so sorry things are just not going the right way for y'all.

Finally after the social worker at the hospital did some juggling, she is going to the place for rehab that she will be living at. So it's all working out for now. So many people telling them different things. Who knows what is what.
Debbie...she has Medicare and the insurance my DFIL had with the government. He worked for the postal service. So she has pretty good insurance. It seemed it was just Medicare that was holding up the whole process. As for the Advantage plan, that is what DH and I have and was advised that over the supplement plan. We have never had any problem what so ever. No premium and very small co pays if ever. All routine tests are covered without a cost. Many things are no cost and we have our choice of doctors and facilities. We are very happy with our advantage plan. We also get OTC benefits which is great.
