Monday, July 6 - Red, White and FLU!!

Hello everyone. We hope each of you had a fun-filled, safe 4th of July. George & I had our most boring ever, and it's all my fault! I got sick on Friday with flu-like symptoms ... congestion, fever, body aches ... so we did absolutely nothing. I didn't want anyone around us to catch what I had, so we stayed in and watched a lot of tv and ate whatever was on hand. No bar-b-que or fireworks for us; very disappointing holiday weekend. Lindsay was brave enough to come over and help with her dad Saturday morning, and she also transported me to the 24-hour clinic so I really hope and pray she doesn't come down with this stuff next. I'm sure she will be fine; her good heart will keep the bad germs away!! And, we want to give a "shout out" to Ike Lucas who is recouperating from knee replacement surgery. Maybe Ike and George can do their leg exercises together in the coming weeks! And speaking of George and his therapy, I do believe the "pep talks" he had the week before did some good. His therapy sessions went really well last week and he even asked me to help him get to the pulleys in the kitchen yesterday so he could do his arm exercises. Hopefully the new trend will continue!!
