Thursday - December 19

My day has been blurry................went for eye exam, got the eyes dilated and so...oh well, all went well although probably in 1-2 years, will need cataract surgery!   Mark and I are enjoying a rare day at HOME!  
 
Since my eye doctor's office is in the hospital, we went to see Marty for a very brief visit.   He's   hooked up to a bunch of machines and having tests today.   He was in good spirits
 
Did a little packing for FL (our clothes and most of our stuff are already on Daisy), so should be able to travel "light"?
 
 We are so blessed with wonderful neighbors who keep an eye on our house when we're gone!    Marty (east); Joe (west); Sue (south); Candy (north).   Joe is a former police detective and Sue was an IL state trooper.   Pretty good protection eh?
 
Keeping a close eye on the weather this weekend as there is talk of  freezing rain, sleet, snow depending on how system travels.    My brother, Bob and Linda and cousin, Dick and Mary are coming tomorrow.   We have tickets to see Martina McBride's Christmas show, so hope they get here and back home safely.    And Saturday, we are off to party with Mark's big family!  They will be coming from CA, AZ, KS, VA, KY and all over IL.
 
First Christmas without the Patriarch of the clan.....sure will miss "Dad".
 
As the day went on, it just got gloomier and drearier and then news that Marty has 5 blockages in the lower ventricle of his heart.   They are not able to do stents cause of twisted arteries.    Tomorrow they will do a viability test to determine if he can have open heart surgery?    We feel so for his 4 kids....4 years ago on December 29th, they lost their Mother, Angie.  
 
Blair is 5 months today!   Our little sweetheart is growing up so fast.....2 new pics of Blair and Davis
  

 
 
And Luke.....VaRoom  and away he goes
 
Anne and the boys came over after supper.   Patrick and his band were practicing at the house, so...Anne did Christmas cards and I played war with the boys

Hanging out with Grandpa
