Just Another Week

Well, just another week at the McKeel House!
From last weekend until Wednesday, Sherrill thought he was dying from a stomach virus.
Just another episode of spreading out on the bathroom floor, moaning and groaning most of the night.
He did finally go and get some meds. One good thing though, I got a few nights off from cooking.
He is better now and getting ready to head out of town next week. So, if you have a few minutes
any evening next week, give him a call. I am sure he will talk your ear off!

It's ALL OVER! ! ! !

Whew! It's finally all OVER!
Complain, complain, complain. You all know how much I HATE the tax season.
Sherrill watches the numbers on Turbo Tax for amount owed, and just keeps repeating......."It's GOT to be lower than that!"
This year I just "did it", not telling him any numbers. Then took HIS checkbook, wrote out the checks, and all he had to do was sign them.  That resulted in a lot LESS screaming and crying!
He carried them off to mail them today! YES, my work is done until next year.

Group Texts

And this is how the story goes........
I first sent the text to Christy and Kathy..........
They weren't too concerned. Then Kat sent a shortened version to Mandy and James....
THEN Kat decided Wendy and Cindy needed to be involved.
Now, you must know, we are NOT allowed to call Kat at work, and very seldom does she text.....
But when the boss is away, the little Kat will play! !!
Kelli, we didn't mean to leave you and Chris out....... there was just TOO much going on!
There are even more when Wendy and Cindy joined in!
The pictures are animated, so that added to the excitement!

Hope He Passed!


Sherrill went for his eye check-up last week.  It has been a few months since his surgery, and not much had been improving. But this visit yielded pretty good results.  The pressure behind his eyes have decreased in both eyes.

I was a little concerned when he took the eye test. Normally he can see better than me, but this time I could see some of the ones he had missed. But, she said his vision was 20/20 Minus 2.  So the old man still has one "good" eye.  He didn't see the surgeon that did the surgery, but one of his students.
She was good though and reminded him to wear safety glasses when he works.

One of the reasons of my concern was he had to take in a form from the DMV to see if he still qualifies for him to get his license. This test he passed. but in three months he has to redo his visual field test where he clicks a button every time he sees a light blink. If he doesn't have good peripheral
they won't let him get his license.  We will just have to wait and see how the Dr filled out the form!

That's life here in Goldsberry! Come and see us soon!

The Saga of the Unidentified Socks..........

Yesterday Sherrill was home from work. I had worked last week cleaning out his room. I had a basket of clothes that wouldn't fit anywhere. So, I told him it was time to clean out his dresser drawers.
Remember the times you would call asking, What can I get for dad", and I would usually reply dress socks. Well, NO MORE! For years Sherrill tells me he can't find any dress socks. Well, I found them,
26 pair to be exact, and about 8 left overs with no matches. This does NOT include the 20 something pair of "shorty" socks, and six pair of work socks.

Interestingly enough though, I found two pair of "Unknown Socks". These were "top dollar" socks, very soft and silky, the kind you want to cuddle up to.....well, maybe not cuddle, but at least rub a few times. I folded them open to get a better look of them, and in both pair, glitter started coming out.
Real glitter........both pair. I asked Sherrill where he got them, and he said he bought them at Belks. I told him Belks didn't sell those socks, so he said Christy or Kat sent them to him. NOPE, no way......not with all that glitter!

When he gets new socks, I wash them, and put them up. How did glitter get in two different pair?
Just doesn't make sense to me. Sounds like some type of prank or something.

So, what did I do? Just what a normal wife would, fold them back over, and put them back in the drawer. I can't wait until he gets ready for church one Sunday, and slides on those socks. He will be sprinkling glitter with every step!
