We've gathered the Feral Fam into the garage because our neighbors just down the road and as it is affectionally called the crack house in our area, well their two pit bull dogs are running free and terrorizing the unsuspecting. Our neighbor texted us that they were headed toward our home and I thought I had seen the dogs when the neighbor was trying to take horse renderings to the compost pile down the gravel road. Roy decided that a later pick up of the garbage can from the road could wait.
The next three days hold various appointments for either Roy or for me. Roy's appointment is the earliest but mine are the farthest. Once this week wraps up that is it for at least several months before we do the doctor regimen again.
One of the first friends I made at church passed away a week ago Friday night. She was such fun, loved Earth, Wind and Fire, one of the kindest people I have ever known and she was very familiar with Texas, Clear Lake and Pearland because her in-laws moved from this area to Clear Lake. She said her family, hubby and three kids would drive all the way through. She knew of the oppressive heat that one comes into contact with along the coast of Texas. Her stories were so good. She and her hubs had been cloggers and danced with a group that entertained tourists at a Pisgah area farm. Her husband's funeral was the first funeral I attended here and just the people and the eulogies gave me such a favorable impression of not only life here but death and remembrance. So once again we will honor a loving and giving friend, full of joy in the midst of her circumstances. Her strength to endure came from her steadfast faith in the Lord. Over the years I have told and laughed over her story about the bear at her back door.

The three days of appointments is finally over. No more driving into the Ville with a major detour and August fog. The detour doesn't deter me much, you just have to plan accordingly. With such beautiful scenery it is almost a very calming addition you need before doctor appointments or any appointments. We did enjoy a Moose Cafe breakfast after Roy's eye exam. Those appointments are usually scheduled early in the morning and thus the bonus of breakfast. The additional bonus for this trip was going to see Audrey at Warby Parker. Roy needs a pair of reading glasses with a slight adjustment to see away. Like in church going from looking at the pastor and then looking down at notes or the scriptures.
It has been a lovely day staying home. Roy worked out and did a little grocery shopping. I worked around here taking care of some small things that have been getting on my nerves. We've been outside watering and picking green peppers and tomatoes. I quit early on but I did do less strenuous chores. The breeze was lovely and made the work not as strenuous since we weren't battling the heat. We need to pull out the greasy beans because I believe they have harvested out but the peas seem to be going strong.
The result of the smash and grab mammy gram-y came yesterday. All is well but I am still puzzled by last year's results with an additional letter weeks after last years about further investigation and it mentioned things that were not in the initial report. This year during my regular check up I balked over going for a smash and grab this year instead of the every other year thing except for Covid time. Some numbers were mentioned that didn't register or mean a thing to me except being advised to get the mammy gram-y. Email letter yesterday didn't mention anything about numbers but I went to the patient portal and read the report and once again the word malignant shows up and this time some comparisons were made and the conclusion is nothing found. I welcome that news but I am also being vigilant in my prayers cause I don't want no surprise next year.
