Donna’s Home.

On Wednesday evening Donna was discharged from the Hospital, and came home. We both can’t say enough about St Joseph’s Hospital in Lake St Louis.They are super care givers, and Donna said they had great food.

Yesterday was our 37th wedding anniversary, so last night we went to the Pasta House Rest. in O’Fallon Mo.We have enjoyed the Pasta House since we were dating.

                                     To Our Health.

Pets are so funny, Rigg’s usually sleeps on the floor at the foot of our bed at night, and Charlie sleeps on the bed near my feet. The nights Donna was in the hospital Rigg’s got up on Donna side net to me and slept there. I can only guess that he sensed my worry and wanted to comfort me. When Donna got home they both went crazy and tried to get on her lap all at the same time for kisses, imagine three of them all charged up and happy to see MOM & Grandma.

We have had plenty of on and off rain the last few days including when I woke up this morning. The grass in back is going to hay it’s got to be cut first hot sunny day.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and wishes for Donna’s quick recovery, I know she feels good to have all our friends,

That’s about it for now, please be safe, Sam & Donna…….

Good News and Bad News from the Weeb Ranch

First the bad news, this morning Donna was taken by ambulance to St Joseph’s Hospital she was having great difficulty breathing and we decided this was best. since she couldn’t walk, the ambulance was necessary. Once we got there they started doing tests including a CAT Scan, put her on IV’s and gave her several injections.

The good news is after a few hours she started to look better and said she felt a little better. the hospital said they didn’t have a room available until tomorrow so she will have to stay in a room in the ER until one is available.The Doctor said they will keep her several days until she improves to where he feels she can go home. I will let you know of any changes as I find out.

Here are some more pictures of Tim & Bonnie’s wedding Saturday, boy do I have some pretty girls out in New Jersey.

Our three Granddaughters, we are so blessed.
Notice all the cowboy boots, They said it was a warm sunny day and everything was beautiful.
If only Donna and I could have made the trip we had planned, I had so looked forward to being there when my Son was married.
On to the news around here at the Weeb Ranch, Donna is essentially bedridden, she says she has no strength and trouble breathing, she said if we don’t see any improvement this week she will be going into the hospital again. Prayers are needed.
That’s about it for today, everyone be safe out there, Sam & Donna.

Still at the Ranch.

Donna has not improved any so we had to cancel our trip to New Jersey, for our Son Tim and his girlfriend Bonnies wedding,I will have to meet my two new Grand horses, Poco, & Pine. next time we are out there.TTH

Everyone be safe out there, Sam & Donna.

Beautiful Spring.

We are the midst of a really great stretch of sunny and warm weather with temperatures in the high 70’s and low 80’s. Today (25th) was the day we originally had planned to hook up and leave for New Jersey. Now that the trip is postponed I will have more time to catch up with stuff to do with the fiver. I need to unload some clothes and then repack it for whenever our next trip is. Also the propane tanks need to be refilled, the water system (city and pump) have to be filled and pressure checked to make sure there are no leaks and the pump is working. Also the fridge will needed to be started and checked for operation.
Here is a picture of Grand Meghen waiting for her turn in the ring.

Also Grandson Adam at his HS track meet, he is 14 now but we don’t get to see him very often.

                            Adam is on the left.
We had subs the other night and Donna got a tuna sub. I right away thought of Bayfield Al sharing his with Pheebs. Poor Riggs didn’t get any.
Donna is still not doing well and I want her to see if there is something else that can be done to help her with her breathing, she cannot do hardly any walking right now. I am her care giver and make sure she had her coffee, water or get whatever else she needs.
Went to my final eye doctor checkup last week and she said everything is looking excellent. I am so happy with my new perfect vision, wish I could have my ears and feet done over like that. I ordered a pair of Oakley polarized sunglasses on Facebook at a ridiculous low price. I will be set for summer then.
That’s about it for today, be safe everyone. Sam & Donna.

Not good news.

As a lot of you know we have been looking forward to going to New Jersey for May 2nd and my Son Tim’s wedding.we had planned to spend about a month at his ranch and then head north with a stop in Pa. and then explore New York state.

Like all good things, I learned a long time ago never get your hopes to high. Donna’s breathing condition has gotten significantly worse, there are times she can barely make it from the bedroom to the kitchen, Our trip out east had been postponed for now unless there is a big improvement in her health.

She wanted me to go without her, But I will not leave her side while she is this ill. I ask that all friends and relatives include her in their prayers and we are hoping the doctors will find a way to improve her health.

ON the 21st I will have my last checkup on my eyes, I am really happy with my restored vision, just riding in the truck now is a pleasure.

                                  Grands Meghen and Katie.

Here’s hoping Donna shows some improvement in the days ahead, Be safe out there, Sam & Donna.

Another good Report.

Had a 09:45AM appointment at the eye surgeons to day, He said I am doing fantastic,On checking I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes. I won’t have to wear glasses anymore, I asked what I had to do to have the “must wear corrective lens” restriction removed from my drivers license. He filled out a form from the State and he said stop at the license office on the way home. I did that and they removed the restriction, but I had to pay to renew my license.I got a new picture taken and sure enough on the new license where it say restrictions it says None. Now sometime before our trip out East I will treat myself to a pair of Decent Polarized sunglasses,

For those who don’t know today it also my Birthday, yes I along with several other Blog celebrities are April Fools Babies.

Going to celebrate with my pretty bride with a pizza supper, after all it is Friday.

Now if they could only find some surgical breakthrough that would restore my hearing. But alas I think jet engines of my youth have robbed me of that.

Rigg’s gives his Dad some Birthday Lovin.

That’s it for today. Be safe out there, Sam & Donna….
