Wow! I really didn't realize that it had been so long since I'd posted on this blog.
Here is a very short update on the rest of 2016.
March
Tim had his semi annual checkup with his wonderful VA doctor as well as a follow-up with the doctor who performed the more invasive part off his heart surgery.
We dog sat with Zeus while his family was on spring break.
We also attended granddaughter's musical at school.
APRIL
Attended several of Beket's football games as well as Tate's football games.
Ella had here physical before heading up to Iowa.
I had my. Last visit with my cardiologist for the year.
We said our goodbyes to family and friends and left for Iowa on May 1sr.
From May through September we had several routines in our schedule; Wednesday's we gathered at Village Inn for pie, most mornings we met at the campground cafe for coffee, Thursday evenings we were there for family style meals. There were countless cookouts and community breakfasts.  Not everything involved food ... but most of them did. I preached most Sundays from MAY day through Labor day.

MAY
Ella had Ann appointment with her doctor as soon as we we're o.k. Iowa.
I started to work in the fee booth at Cutty's campground on. the 6th.
We celebrated Mother's day at John's with nearly all off the kids.
Ella started working at the clubhouse on the 9th. but only worked a fee days after that. There was a change in what was expected off her. She would have spent some days working alone in the rental units. She couldn't have be able to work through the summer o.k. non air conditioned buildings. I didn't like the idea that, if something were too happen to her, she would have been working alone.
Around the middle off May Ella began going to a chiropractor several days a week.
On the 21st we went to a William's family reunion with some of my nieces and nephews.
O.k. the 23rd I was called for jury duty, but wasn't chosen.

I started preaching again at our Sunday Worship services that go from Memorial day through Labor day.

Ella had a colonoscopy on the 29th.
