Doctor's Visit

Yesterday I had an appointment with my orthopedic for my 3 month check up since the surgery. Doctor says everything looks great and I am progressing well. He explained to me that with the extensive work that he had to do, it could be up to 6 months before walking with out aid. Physical therapy is becoming more aggressive too. So, it makes me feel better to know why I haven't bounced back as quickly. He said to just be patient. I go back in 6 weeks.

Ride home...

Greg likes to take pictures when he can. Brandy was enjoying the evening breeze through the window. We tell her she looks chinese! :)
I don't think he knew I was looking while he took the picture, hence the reason I posed silly :)
Ok, Jeremy in his own little frog world!
And this is Greg is in his own little world...

A yummy treat

So Greg felt as if the doggy's needed to go for a ride as they have been locked up all weekend long. We headed to PetSmart in Watauga to get some dog food, but we were too late. They were closed. Then, it just happened to be right next to the Frozen Custard place so we stopped. There is a huge parking lot right next to the yummy store, so we put the leashes on Daisy and Duke and put the end with a loop on the pole. Greg, Jeremy and Brandy all came back with a handful of ice cream for everyone. Even the puppies received a puppy cone :)

We were just sitting here watching Daisy and Duke and found that Daisy isn't exactly all that bright of a pup. She kept going in circles around the pole, which made her leash shorter and shorter and shorter. She just didn't get it.

A yummy treat!

Sunday Afternoon Activities

So we headed to church and then had to kill some time before the parent meeting for Brandy's camp week. Since our church is on the outskirt of downtown Fort Worth, we decided to stop at the botanical gardens. Of course, still being on one crutch makes it a little more difficult to walk long distances. So, we just meandered through the rose garden, snapped a few pictures and then left to grab a bite to eat.




Then, driving through downtown Fort Worth, Greg passed by a couple buildings where the outside windows reflected like mirror's all that passed by. So, he rolled the windows down and took a picture, as you can see the flash! Ha!

Then he dropped Jeremy and I off at the corner of Chili's restaurant and went to find a parking spot. Who knew downtown was busy on a Sunday! The restaurant was so packed, there was at least a 45 minute wait, and we didn't have that much time before we had to be back at church. So, when Greg and Brandy walked over to where we were sitting we decided to walk a bit further down and go to Razoo's. Along the way, the kids found it quite interesting a longhorn bull covered in leaves.

Then, I think Brandy was up to something by the look in her eye...
I did learn that traffic lights which have the pedestrian crossing lights do not last long enough for one who is on a crutch to cross in time!
At Razoo's!

After the parent meeting, Greg took us on a long excursion in places we have never been. We actually "accidentally" found a women's prison, drove in the wrong direction and had to turn around at an air force base, but did see beautiful homes around the lake area. We enjoy long drives to explore! :)

Sunday Morning...

So Greg, as mentioned before wakes up pretty early without an alarm clock, so since the mornings are great to work outside, we were out in the garage working on getting the Typhoon wheels done to put back on the truck before Greg sells it. First he needs some music to get his grove started -haha.

He is using aircraft remover spray to take off the clear coat on the wheels and covers.
Then drying them off after scraping the clear coat off and rinsing.
Then he is using scotch bright to "sand" the wheels with the grain.
Then he taped them off and spray painted the inside and the GMC letters. It looks very nice.
While helping him with this -not so fun- task (haha), we were entertained by nature! You can see two bunnies and a bird! (Click on picture to make it larger)

Here is a view of the flowers my Mom planted while she was here. The front row of flowers were from last year, the 2nd row looks as if it is over taking the first row!
Here is the front landscaping. Looking lushy green!
Of course the dogs were feeling lonely as the kids are still sleeping. So They came out into the garage to say hi. Duke didn't exactly like the cup I was resting on his head, but his look was cute so Greg snapped a picture.

Now the fun is over, it's beginning to get hotter outside, (and muggy feeling because of the rain), and we have church in an hour. Off to get the day started!
