| Sunset Driving 70+ MPH Toward Texas |
Friday night Bulldog Man, Tank and I drove down to
Texas to check on my Dad, and help clear / clean up damage from the last storm
that blew through. Several trees fell
down over the rear fence on my parent’s property. Bulldog Man loaded our truck up with his
tools and chain saw. Come Saturday
morning, Bulldog Man, and I cut the trees into pieces and stacked the wood
against the back fence for future burning.

Afterwards we headed to the rehabilitative hospital
in Ft. Worth to have lunch with my Dad. The
Texas Rehabilitative Hospital is training Dad how to walk, move, bend down and
get up without hurting himself because he has all of this hardware surgically
implanted in his lower back. After Dad
comes home, he will be meeting with the Orthopedic Oncologist, and his Internist
to determine the next steps in his medical plan.
Sunday morning before heading back home to Oklahoma,
we stopped by the hospital to visit and say good bye.

Monday was Bulldog Man’s Birthday, Tank and I took
him to the casino and celebrated his birthday with a nice dinner, and a little
cash to play the slot machines. Bulldog
Man ended up not winning a thing but had a great time. Our son, Tank came back winning $275.00. We made our dinner an early dinner because we
really didn’t want to be out on the roads with the weather changing, and the
drunk drivers on the road. We celebrated
our New Year’s by going to bed early, and sleeping in the next day. Yay, 2013 has rolled in, now we get to look
forward to preparing our taxes L
Tuesday, Bulldog Man and I needed to get some
groceries; being out of town we hadn’t a chance to get groceries. I really wanted to try this recipe I found on
the computer for enchiladas and I needed a few things.

The recipe was found here. Bulldog Man really like the enchiladas and
rates them with 4 Paws!!!
Sometimes New Year's Eve is just another day---chores and family to take care of. But any day that ends with Mexican foo dis a goo dday! Stevie@ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.com
ReplyDeleteStevie,
DeleteI have to agree with you. That is so true, Mexican food is a good thing :-)
Happy New Year Sandy & Bulldog Man!
ReplyDeleteDFW,
DeleteThank you, and Happy New Year To You and Yours!
The more I read your posts, the more I'm convinced you might be my secret twin sister! We too went to bed early New Years Eve night! I'd rather feel rested and ready for the new year, than "foggy" for a couple of days.
ReplyDeletePrayers coming your way for you and your Dad.
Izzy we may just be twin sister's, lol
DeleteNew Years Eve is just another day for me, I'm not someone who goes out and drinks. I would rather be with family, safe at home, and going to bed early :-)
Thank you for your kind words and prayers. We still don't know what type of cancer we are dealing with, or where it orginiated.
I like your new picture! I'm not a fan of coyotes LOL, but deer are precious! Happy New Year to you, your family, and your cute little dogs! I'm glad your dad is on the road to recovery ☺
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm happy you like my new picture. I thought everyone liked coyotes....just teasing. I love taking pictures of wild animals and nature. Happy New Year To You and Yours Sweetie. My little dogs are characters, they truly are. Thank you for your kind words about my Dad.
DeleteWhat a great post Sandy! My dad also has a lot of hardware in his back. Glad you were there to help him out. The enchiladas look good. oh, year, taxes.. ugg. Happy New Year! Love your header!
ReplyDeleteSusie
Thank you Little Susie! Your Dad has hardware in his back, did he have cancer in his vertabrae? The enchiladas are delicious, I will be using this recipe again in the future. Ugh is right, I hate tax time.
DeleteHappy New Year To You and Yours too!
Sandy, My dad had badly deteriorated discs. They went in and bolted and pinned 4 of his lower vertebra and he cannot bend, it is a struggle but he has done well, and is less pain, for the last 10 years!
DeleteBless you and your dad!
I love your new banner, simply because it is so much brighter than the other one. And larger.
ReplyDeleteIt's 10pm, I'm suddenly hungry, then I come here and see enchiladas. NOT FAIR!
Thank you, I like the banner myself.
DeleteOMG, the enchiladas were to die for :-)
I agree with the others. Your new header is great and so is the quote! The enchiladas look fantastic! Thanks for the link to the recipe.
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
DeleteThank you, I like my new banner too. Oh, I am always cruising the computer for great quotes. The enchiladas recipe is one worth keeping.
