The Olympics

Have you all been watching the Olympics this year? It has really been interesting watching on TV. Michael Phelps has been truly amazing. I have enjoyed watching swimming, and diving. I watched some of the gymnastics earlier. Haven't watched much basketball. Overall, It has been worth watching. Getting tired of watching the Pirates lose all the time. Nice to see something different.
Well, I found out my date for my surgery on my foot. It will be on August 28Th. They will cut 2 small slits on both sides of my foot, and loosen the tendon. A couple of stitches to close it, and they will be all done. Doctor told me it will only take 15 minutes or so. I will be out of it for the surgery. Not looking forward to getting it done, but, If it will get rid of the pain in my foot, then I am ready to do it.
Going to a party at my parents house tonight. My niece, Monica is turning 21 this week. Dawna and I are riding our scooters up to Jamestown. It will be fun. We are having a blast riding them all over the place. This was money well spent! If the weather is nice tomorrow, then we will ride them to church, too. Motorcycles next?? Maybe.....

Daily happenings.....

Not a lot new today. We took a ride to Mercer to look at another dog for a playmate with our Teddy. This dog was a pekingese too, but, was not well taken care of. She was only 7 months old, and not really house broken. So, Teddy is still our only child.
Nathan started Kindergarten this week. Hard to believe. He will be 6 in November. He is really growing up fast. He seems to like school so far.
Dad seems to be doing better since his back surgery. He still has a lot of pain, but, that is typical after back surgery. Keep him in your prayers, though. He could always use a little help! My brother has surgery recently too. He is recuperating at home now. Hopefully he will get better soon, too.
Mindie just called here. Looks like they are getting a new house out on Conneaut Lake Road. Good for them! I am so happy and proud of them. They bought a Scion off of us about 2 years ago. The car was practically brand new. They now only owe 3 more payments and it will be all theirs. They are really doing good.
Can't think of anything else going on. Going to go watch the Buccos on TV. They are playing the Reds tonight. Maybe a win??? We shall see.
