1. Do you like your name? Are you named after someone (grandparent, etc)? If you have children how did you choose their names? 

I've been fine with my name Deborah but I go by Debby. No I am not named after anyone. 

That's an interesting question. I'm not sure how we came up with their names and they are not named after anyone in the family. 

2.  A piece of red velvet cake, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a slice of blueberry pie? You can only have one...which will you choose? If you could pick any red, white, or blue dessert other than those listed here, what would you choose? 

I think I have to go with the blueberry pie but I wouldn't mind some ice cream with it. 

3.  What's a job you'd like to try for just one day?

I think I would like to work in the nursery at a hospital. 

4. Any patriotic decor in your home currently or coming up this summer? 

No, I haven't been decorating much for holidays except Christmas. 

5. It's the end of May, so let's exercise our brains. Sum up your month with an acrostic using the word MAY. We can do it!!  

M - Memorable

A -  Anxiety

Y -  Yummy

 6. Insert your own random thoughts here. 

So Mark is still gone fishing in Canada and won't be home until the 1st of June. 

I saw my ankle doctor last Thursday. He took the stitches out. I told that I am in a lot of pain. He gave me a prescription for steroids, however I didn't want to take them. I use them too often with my COPD. That is why my skin is thin and why the injury to my knee was so bad. 

However I decided to take them and they did help. They especially helped with the sciatica and a little bit with the ankle pain. I was able to give the two front bedrooms a good cleaning. I haven't been able to do much but little by little the house is getting cleaned. 

I see him Friday and we will try the shot in the ankle. If that doesn't help then we have to talk about other surgeries and that's not good.

A FAVORITE OF OURS......

So we watched James over the weekend and it was really fun.  He is such a pleasure to be with. Papa and him played Jenga. We also played Sorry and Bunko of course.

On Saturday James had a birthday party to attend. Mark took him and James had a nice time. It was one of those bouncy trampoline places. 

However, he was the only boy who showed up. Him and this girl have been friends for several years now because they have been at the same house for daycare since they were little, before school started. 

Then Papa took him to play miniature golf. They had a fun time together. 

Then on Sunday morning they went to the Bass Pro Shop. Mark, Adam and James are going to Mammoth Lakes for 4 days in August. They will be staying in a camper at the campground. 

We spent 18 years going up to Mammoth Lakes. I'm so excited for them. I can't go anymore because of the altitude with my COPD. I'm really excited for them. 

They went to Bass to get James a fishing pole. Of course he found a cute stuffed fish that he wanted. 

When Adam and Gabby got home we ordered some food and then we headed home. Gabby said that after we left James went and laid in their bed and fell asleep immediately. 

It was a good time with him. Even though I couldn't join them because of my ankle, knee cut and sciatica, James and I had a great time playing games. I treasure every moment I have with him.
