Hot

It was really hot today, and just as humid.... miserable summer weather.....

But we got out, short walk into WalMart, short walk to jeep..... nice a/c inside....  on the way home at 12:30 noon, the jeep said 102.......

I think for safety we will stay home in a/c until the heat breaks...  or until Monday dr appointment, or Wed pill endoscopy appointment......

Prayers for those who have to work in this... be safe, stay hydrated....  and if you don't have to do outside work, then do not.....

Nice day

Today was a good day........
oh wait, yesterday first...
honestly had to stop and think what happened on Monday... I did paint a bit, first time in months.
Ok yesterday....   focus brain.....
Tuesday was blood draw at clinic, hematocrit was up.... good, but INR was down, not so good.  But increase in warfarin was prescribed by nurse Tori. Larry seems to be feeling better.

So when our friends Dave and Nola texted and asked if we were up to a visit, I said yes....  got in touch with Richard and Ann too.......   background... I met D/N on a rv forum....  actually Dave, then our "group" RVMutants, decided to meet up, that is when I met Nola and we all became closer.  D/N are rv fulltimers, grew up in Minnesota or Michigan area (brain blank), worked and lived in Pennsylvania....
And travel all over.....   Richard and Ann joined the group as well, but they do live in Arkansas....  btw, Ann has had health issues and gets a pacemaker on Friday...   lots of prayers...

Anyway, met for lunch at LaMadeline, then came to the house to visit...  below are photos...
Then in case I needed some drama, since it had been a relaxing day... i read about the Home Depot shoplifter/car hijacker.  It was about 100 yards from the restaurant and about an hour after we left....  thank you that we decided to go early rather than after the lunch rush....  that change in time was made at 11.....  this morning.....  no I didnt have a premonition....

So all is good...  for today.....






                                 This is what things will look like next Wednesday!
                                     Amazing how far medical science has come.

Alexa moved in......

I had Larry order an Amazon Dot on Amazon Prime day......  cost was $35.... it came in while he was in the hospital, so rather than setting it up, I waited for him to....  he likes to do those things....  Friday night he spent a couple of hours, got frustrated, and unplugged it and handed it to me.....  i do need to say he wascstill quite fuzzy brained from the anemia....  plus I had inadvertently changed his country on his amazon prime from the US to the UK when I was going to try Audible last month...

Well, I too am a techie.... so Saturday, I began....  plug in was as simple as they say.... but to get it to do what I am wanting was not quite as simple....  finally got it to do some things, like have 2 user profiles, to play my SiriusXM music and Larrys Prime Music.... and finally got her to send a text thru AT&T......   only can add 10 contacts.... but now Larry can text in case he cannot get to a device....   

Alexa:
Echo Dot

Echo is Ai.... Artificial intelligence, uses the cloud, and is not only helpful, but it is fun.
We laughed out loud last night at some of the jokes.....

Between our Ipad Pros, Iphones, and now Echo... we might never come out of our cave.....
