All most the end of the month

Here it is almost the end of the month and I am just getting around to posting something here again....I told you that not much exciting was happening last posting, so don't want to bore anyone with the same old stuff, but here goes....A couple of weeks ago Marilyn pulled some muscles in her back moving some furniture ( which she shouldn't have done anyway ) and she has been trying to get over the soreness....She sure has had to watch just how she moves and not try to twist her back or it just pulls it again....At least she is doing better now....It has kind of slowed up the Walmart tours a little bit, but she has been using the motorised carts to get around in the store....I told her that was what they were for, at times like this we are just thankful that they are there for us to use....I know that last year before I had my knees replaced I used them and was glad there were there....On another note as Church services aren't being held at Magnolia, we have been going to  Donna at Pastor Stacey's Church ( First Baptist Church of Donna )....It sure seems different to go at 11 o'clock instead of at 8:45....Also there is a lot of new people for us to see....The service and the lessons are still great, but we miss going to Magnolia....Well this weekend we need to give thanks and honor to the brave men and women who have served in the military.....Many lives have been lost fighting for the freedom that we sometimes take for granted....God Bless all the men and women who have and are serving our country....

I have been having a little trouble at times with the Internet hookup and have been trying to get it figured out just what the problem was....Come to find out my old wireless router was becoming intermittent and was dropping the signal.....I did get a new one, installed it, rebooted the cable modem and problem solved.....I them tried to hookup my wii's on the TVs so we could watch netflix, but they wouldn't hookup.....I finally picked up a new ROKU system and installed it on one TV.....I even had a little trouble getting it to connect, but finally did.....It works great and has a lot of different channels that the Wii doesn't .....I kept working with the wii's and then I got them working also, so I have a great selection to work with now....HA HA ....I know....I know ...OLD MEN and their TOYS, but at least it keeps me out of a lot of other trouble....Well that's enough for now, till  next time....Keep safe and healthy.....

How can I be this busy??

I just realized as I was doing the Magnolia Blog that I hadn't written any thing on my own blog for a couple of weeks....I will try to catch you up on some of the going's on....Although nothing to exciting for most to hear, but anyway....A couple of weeks ago we did have some stormy weather in the valley but nothing happened here.....I didn't go at night to play pool in other parks as I didn't want to leave Marilyn here if it was storming....Luckily for me that wasn't often....Last weekend Marilyn and I went up to Temple , Texas to visit our grandson, his wife and our greatgranddaughters.....The youngest celebrated her first birthday and we got to be in on it.....She has grown quite a bit since we saw her last fall.....What a joy to be able to spend time with the grand kids, but at our age it's hard to keep up with them....HA HA...This week between resting up from the trip, playing pool here in the park and over at another park a coupe of nights , taking Marilyn on Wal-Mart tours and eating out  a couple of times nothing much else has happened....HA HA...Oh well I didn't say it wouldn't be boring, just busy....Later....I just hope my one reader hasn't given up on me...( DS)...
