I had the best visit....

with Kevin, Lesley and Michayla the first of July! I drove out there by myself and got paid to do it! That Michayla is so sweet and cute! She was crawling and standing when she held onto something. Lesley started walking at 8 months old and I betcha Michayla does to. Lesley said she is climbing stairs now. While I was there we went to Intercourse, PA and shopped and had lunch with Kevin's mom, Arlene. We drove through a town called Bird-In-Hand also. We stopped and got some homemade rootbeer at an Amish farm on the way there. Lesley said she always wanted to try some as we were passing the sign, so I turned around and went back and got a bottle. It was pretty good! Kevin made a rootbeer float with what was left. I'm sure it tasted good after working outside on a roof all day! I pulled weeds another day and picked greenbeans, snowpeas and pulled weeds! I took Lesley my canner and she canned some greenbeans while I was there. She might be canning tomatoes now.

Lesley's friend Kelly, had her baby girl while I was there, so we went to visit Darrell and Kelly and baby Jorden Rae while I was there. That was special!

I went to the Podiatrist this week because I've been having trouble with my right foot with the arch hurting. She said my feet have very high arches and they are very flexiable, which causes them to work against each other. (What puzzles me is I'm 51 years old and just started having trouble with them after 51 years??? Oh, well!) The tendon that runs down the middle of the bottom of my foot is all inflammed from being on my feet so much. She had molds made of my feet and she ordered Orthodics for my shoes to add support when I walk. Of course (just like a car) she noticed both of my ankles were swollen. I have many veins in my legs and she said with me being on my feet so much a pool of blood collects in my ankles and I need to wear compression hose through the day. I've got to call her about this because she didn't talk about the hose to much. One of the girls I work with said they come in diffrent sizes and tightness and insurance will cover them. I'll have the Orthodics in a couple of weeks, meanwhile I'll just put up with the pain, because it is painful!

I've gotta get off of this computer! I've been here ever since I got off work and its 9:16pm now. Larry hasn't been home at all this week. He will be home from Arkanas tomorrow evening.

I'm gonna go back to TOPS starting in two weeks. I can't go next week because I've already got a commitment the same night they meet. I've gotta get this weight back off of me. Please pray I can get back on the wagon. I would love to walk in the Mini Marathon with Erica and Co. in 2008! I gotta get my foot straightened out before I can start a lot of walking again. I have been walking some though.

Love you all!
