Well, I had the sleep test and apparently I have sleep apnea about 5 % of the time but only when I'm on my back. So if I lose some weight perhaps that will fix that. The stress test was interesting. They gave me the radiological marker through a IV and after 45 minutes they had me lay on a table to x-ray or some such machine to look at my heart. Then off to the stress test which was not as bad as I thought it would be. They used some kind of drug that opened up my arteries and allowed them to get what they wanted without making me work real hard on the machine. Then more x-rays or whatever. The PA that did the test said it look good and I should hear something from him or the cardiologist within a few days or so. So the PA called and said they found nothing really wrong with me but I can call the cardiologist in a day or so. I haven't! If there was something there I figured he would have called me. So I plan on exercising as much as I can. I've been walking at lunch time during work and I will do extra exercise on the weekends. Eating? I'm slowing down and trying to watch what I eat but it's hard sometimes. I like food. So I may not die this year, which is making Grammy and the kids happy. I think I will stick around a while longer.

Monday nights

Mondays for us are special! Besides being our Family Home Evening, Grammy has taken to having a family dinner but not just any dinner. It has to be FUN and with a Theme. So, she has pulled off some really fun things so far. There was Cowboy night where we ate and dressed up (the grandkids) like Cowboys! There was camping under the table. So she put blankets over the table and the kids got to eat under the table. Problem is we couldn't see what Lee was doing! Like eating someone else's food! We had a picnic in the livingroom on the floor! Then there was St. Patricks day! All of the food had to be GREEN! The grandkids wore something green as well! So you get the picture. The kids love it and it's building great memories for everyone.

It's Springtime in the Garden

Well, it's slowly being more like spring and of course the outside projects have started. Grammy wanted a Strawberry box built but it needed to be tiered so we needed to be creative. First it would be in one spot then that changed to next to the shed. Okay how many tiers did you want? So finally I got it done. See picture below. Then we filled it with topsoil and peat. Finally Grammy put the strawberries in. So what do you think? Not to bad.

So what does Grammy tell me yesterday? You should have made it bigger so we could have one more tier! Really? Of course we want more strawberries. Perhaps next year.
