More than medical

I don't want this blog to be only about my aches & pains & doc visits. There are lots of wonderful and fun things going on in my life that are worthy of sharing. This past Friday we had our annual family gathering at my sister-in-law's home in Dallas. The girl cousins have their annual tradition of dressing up Papa Charley and taking a picture. Here's this year's version. I have to admit that it's nice having hair again!

Keeley and Sterling enjoyed some lunch together. He preferred to eat off of her plate rather than his own. Typical.

It was great to have Terrie's brother, Dwight, here from Iowa. He brought his oldest daughter, Caitlin (black dress) with him. She's a senior at OCU. We went and picked up Terrie's aunt Cleta(center) and went to lunch at Cracker Barrel. Two more of Dwight's litter of 5 were here - Coulter & Keeci - but they didn't join us for lunch. Their loss!



Okay, one more. You may have noticed Kamalyn's tie dye shirt in the last photo. We have been doing lots of tie dying around our house lately and here is evidence of the creativity. Terrie and I even did our own. It's pretty cool. I wore mine to church a week ago Saturday and got asked where the Grateful Dead concert was!

One medical reminder: my doc appointment is this coming Thursday. Please keep praying! Thanks!
