Joy 04/23/2022

 One of the joys of being a grandparent is spoiling your grandchildren. We are staying with Noah while his parents take a trip to Atlanta.  

Today we went to the Chain of Parks Art Festival. This was after sleeping in and having a breakfast of donuts. Yumm so nutritious. 

After walking around awhile Jan got hungry and figured Noah needed something to eat. So stopping at the FIRST food truck we see. Noah decides on fries. I'm thinking like a serving of fries, you know with a side of catsup. Jan leaves me with Noah to go and get her a corndog. I finally get to the front of the line and Noah orders his fries with all the fixings. The guy behind the counter says $15...

I miss heard him and thought he said $8 and handed him a ten dollar bill. He kept his hand out, Noah looked at me waiting.... And then I realized it was $15.  For fries.  Ok, Noah is my grandson and I get to spoil him. Digging back into my wallet I pull out a $20 and take back the ten....smiling.


By this time Jan had got her corndog and taken Noah to a table to wait for me. I wait and wait for the fries. After calling several numbers around my number "7" I finally got called for my order of fries. Ok it was more than just an order of fries. This was a full meal for a small family. A big plate of fries, cheese, green onions, tomatoes, some kind of spicy pork, sour cream, some other sauces to add later and a big scoop of guacamole. It looked pretty good but I was still full from breakfast. 

I brought it over to Noah for his lunch. He ate a few fries and the guacamole.... "I'm done" 


Yea the joy of being a grandparent is being able to buy a $15 scoop of guacamole for your grandson's lunch and being able to smile and say "what'cha wanna do next?"

Radiation Therapy

Dr. Galloway and the gang over at West Florida Radiation Therapy have developed a very efficient process of treating their patients. I arrive about 5 minutes before my scheduled treatment time. The waiting room is often empty in spite of having plenty of chairs. I have my temperature taken and wash my hands. Then within a minute or two I will have my name called. As I'm going back to the treatment room there is usually another guy just coming out of that room.  When the technicians are ready they call me in and I climb onto the treatment table. After I'm on the table my feet and legs are aligned using a hard pillow that is molded to my legs and feet. Then the table is moved into position and the technicians adjust me using lasers and my aiming tattoos.  The techs then leave the room and the machines take over. First two arm move into position to x-ray me to determine the position of my prostate. The table will make slight adjustments itself to move me into the best position. A...

Trip to Evansville In.

  For the past week or so Jan and I have been visiting her dad and sister in Evansville In. Or as Art calls it Heavinsville. We came up originally to help Mary with her house. She is painting and carpeting several rooms. Because of Covid Jan's dad Art has moved from his apartment into Mary's house. We came down to help Art while he stayed with us at a hotel and the house got recarpeted.  Well that all went sideways first day at the hotel. Art who is 96 started feeling poorly and eventually it was decided to call an ambulance to transport him to the emergency room for, as my daughter calls it a little heart tune-up. It was quite an adventure having a firetruck and ambulance arrive at our hotel and all crowd into our room.  At the hospital because of Covid only one other person was allowed in and it was decided that Jan would stay and I would head back to Mary's house. Now a funny story of events before the ambulance arrived. I had gone to take a rest in our hotel room whil...
