We just attended the kindergarten graduation for our Cheyenne in Reno. Her teacher had such a nice Zoom presentation and it was fun to see all the little ones in their homes. Cheyenne moved there during the lock down and never got to actually be in a classroom with the others, but it worked out fine in the end. Hope she gets to play with all of them in the fall for first grade. Oh how I miss that little girl so far away from Nana K now.
 
I kinda know how you feel about missing Cheyenne, Kayelle, but not exactly. While we have NO grandkids, I miss our kids fiercely right now. Had this whole plague thing not have happened, we would have already made one trip to OH with my old bike to give to our daughter, then return home with our son in tow to help us finally get the house market ready. And now we're here, they're in OH, and it looks more and more like nothing house wise will happen until next year.

As a Cleveland sports fan, I've become used to the phrase "wait till next year" in regards to winning a championship. I never expected it to become the mantra of my life...:(

I sure hope Cheyenne gets to meet all of her new classmates and has fun in her new school come this fall. I guess we'll all see what happens, eh?
 
I'm only 17 miles away from western NE...shoulda let me know and we could have had a meal or something.
We're in Crawford at Ft Robinson for the weekend. How far are you from there? My plans for tomorrow got cancelled. I wanted to go to Toadstool park but the locals said not to because it rained. The road there is really bad when it's wet.

I'm 35 miles west of Scottsbluff, looks like you would have to back track a bit if you are headed towards South Dakota. From what I can tell you are about 40 miles north of Scottsbluff.
 
Large Amazon box on the porch when I got home, not sure what's in it as I went a bit crazy and they have also been sending one item at a time for my orders. Get it inside and open it...dog and cat toys, books, blankets.

Before I had the box open all the way, the 22 year old was in there slobbering all over everything. So I am pulling things out of the box around her. Finally get everything opened and distributed, she's still in the box. I move her and the box so I can get the computer up and running and my dinner unbagged. Different cat in the box. then another and even the dog took a sit in the box.

That's it! They are just getting boxes from now on.


:LOL::ROFLMAO:
That's so funny. My dog Butters has fallen in love with our mail lady.
We set up accounts on Amazon for each one.
They wait at the window on delivery day and give her special howls as she tells them who has a package.
Puppy luv is sweet.:angel:

Turns out, the UPS guy is a friend of Buttercup. They got to meet in person the other day as I was home early. I put her on her lead and let her go, they played for a bit before he left. I swear her eyes were dancing.

They've only talked to each other through a closed window. (The cats pulled the screen down and I haven't got it back up)
 
I've been watching my neighbor, who has been busy with his own personal deforestation project for the last three weeks or so. :glare: We have severe weather warnings right now. Anyone with a lick of sense would know to go inside just based on the color of the sky and wind pattern. Nope, not Bob the Builder next door. Still tooling around the back on an excavator/grader machine. I'm waiting for a strike of lightening (which was spotted last about 10 miles away and approaching) to chase his butt into the house. :mrgreen:
 
I'm sitting here watching our storm come in. Lots of wind so far. But, it has brought the temp down to something bearable.
 
Yea we would have to back track quite a bit. Maybe next time.

Nothing but wind so far up here in Crawford. Tried fishing but way too windy.

I'm always here! Just let me know.

We've had three different downpours since this morning, the wind has finally calmed to something that won't remove paint or shingles. We were getting 70 mph gusts up until about 20 minutes ago. Those are enough to push my car off the road.

Have a safe trip!
 
Sitting here in shock.... pour me another glass of wine.

Just got off the phone with my doctor's nurse. Have an appointment with him June 10th. 2 days

I have not seen this guy in more than a year! To make an appointment usually takes 2-3 months for non-urgent/yearly check-ups. Urgent is 2/3 weeks, emergency- go to the hospital.

My prescriptions have been automatically renewed via fax. So I guess he wants to make sure I'm still alive.

Best part?... it is via a phone call!

maybe I can put him on hold for an hour or two and pretend he is in the waiting room. Nah... don't worry, I would never do that, .... well, maybe? nah, nah..

:ROFLMAO: THAT would be fun for you, wouldn't it? :LOL: My Mom's last doc was notorious for making his patients wait. The "record" was 2 1/2 hours! It was hard finding a doc who would take Medicare patients back in the late 1990s, though.
 
I have not seen my primary physician in over 5 years. We’ve communicated over email numerous times, sees all my blood and test results, and depending on my situation, through email communication, he has referred me to various specialists which I have seen for tests and treatments.
This works for me.
 
Well, Emergency room waits in the big areas are not unheard of at 10 hours +.

Luckily I have a country hospital where 1 hour or less is standard.

I had one doc whose standard was 4 hours. I used to go, do my groceries, go home put them away, go back to still wait.

Specialist's office called me to make an appointment and I couldn't remember why my doctor had even ordered it. So I passed, figured if I couldn't remember it was either gone, I was passed redemption, or basically couldn't be bothered to wait another 8 months for the actual appointment.

Don't let people fool you with how great is Canadian Medicare!
 
I have a truly great primary care Dr. and I've never waited to see him more than 15 minutes. I saw him just today, and he often spends an extraordinary amount of time with me. If I need to see him I can always get in within a day or two. He's referred me to many specialists over the years and when he asks me what doctor I'd prefer, I always tell him to send me to the Dr. he would send his Mother. Works well for me.;)
 
I remember it was like that back in the 60's & 70's, gradually got worse.

Let me know when a house becomes available near your town. Is he accepting new patients? Especially if I say I'm your sister?

Next most important part ... hope he is not going to retire within the next 10 20 or so years?
(thinking positive here)
