Here are the comments I missed yesterday:
Annette says:
Gel mats are good or a heated doggie bed (look on line). Be careful with asprin, it’s really hard on the kidneys. Ask the vet about pain pills. I don’t go to church either but it’s good for kids. I went every Sunday through high school. As an adult I just don’t belive in organized religion but I belive in God or a higher power. I’m with you Doug I think the country is in real trouble and I think race wise we are going to be back to the 60s before long. I think the gov. is really deviding the country and I have not seen anyone strong enough to lead us out of it. I will stop now. All of you take care.

My old puppy (15) Sunnygirl has real bad hips too. We got her a gel mat and we put it under her blankey that she sleeps on. They say it works and I do believe it is helping. I think I mentioned before that I also put an adult strength aspirin in her morning treat and that has helped tremendously. It works better than the glucoseimine (can’t spell) that the vet prescribed and it is way cheaper. I don’t go to church but I pray for us all every night, hope you do the same! Have a fab week-end!
The Mr. cleaned the garage in the morning and the kiddos made good use of a lariat that was in the midst of all of the clutter. Â They made a giant jump rope and expended so much energy that they were almost too wiped out to help with the garage.
Peggy and her friend Linda came over around noon, so Peggy and Doug could move the 1938 Rolls Royce to the Centennial Airport for the event. On the way to the airport the top flew up like a parachute flying over and behind the car. The Mr. had to signal to Peggy to pull over because she never looks in the rearview mirror in the Rolls…why would you??
The event is put on by the Morgan Adams Foundation. Morgan Adams was a little boy that cancer got the best of at an early age. His parents started this foundation in his honor. The organization is dedicated to improving the quality of life and survival rates of children afflicted with brain cancer.
As we were driving up to the airport the aero show was in full swing. A biplane came buzzing passed us with a trail of smoke jetting out behind it. We opened the sun roof on the truck to see the plane upside down overhead.
Once we arrived we walked out onto the tarmac to watch the unbelievably frightening aerobatics. The pilot took the plane up into loop de loops up, around and down, descending to what appeared to be mere feet away from the ground. Then up, up up into a full stall coasting and turning then falling toward the earth and just barely pulling out the plane out horizontally to the ground below. There were a few audible gasps from the crowd…also quite a few fire trucks standing by. Fortunately none of the fire trucks were needed.
The The cars were amazing…The Mercedes Gullwing was lovely. The car is named “Gullwing”because of unique style of the doors. The 1929 Bentley was the Mr.’s favorite.  We took a picture of the Ferrari’s for our friend Antonio…he loves the Ferrari cars.
The kids had a blast with the new babysitter  and the Mr. took Peggy to the airport this morning at 6:15.  Everyone is up now, so time to go.  Love to all…God Bless.
