Thank you Joyce.

1. August 19th is National Aviation Day...do you like to fly? Last time you were on an airplane? The date is chosen in honor of the history and development of aviation, and celebrated on the birthday of Orville Wright. Have you ever been to the Kitty Hawk area of North Carolina? The city of Dayton in Ohio (their birthplace)

I believe the last time I flew was in April of 2025 for a wedding in Georgia. I don't mind flying, however the time spent at the airport can be frustrating. No, I haven't been to Kitty Hawk. 

2. In what area of your life do you tend to 'wing it'? Is this an area you should be winging? 

I'm not sure how to answer this one. I don't seem to know. 

3. A favorite book, song, or movie that relates to flight in some way? 

I'm going to say the movie Sully and Leaving on a Jet Plane by John Denver.

4. Soft serve, gelato, sherbet, fro zen yogurt, or good old fashioned ice cream...what's your pleasure? Your favorite flavor? How often do you indulge? 

Soft serve is good at a Dairy Queen. We stop sometimes when we travel.  However I do like a good old fashioned ice cream cone although I haven't had one in a long time. We also buy some chocolate covered ice cream bars from time to time. I don't indulge very often. I like vanilla. 

5. I never get tired of, seeing James, Adam, Gabby, Amber and Dylan. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

So the shot I had at the surgery center seemed to help but then I had some pain again.  I still need my ankle to be fixed. I see my doctor next week and also another foot doctor to see if I can have an ankle replacement. My doctor only does the ankle fusion. Either one has a recovery of 5 weeks. I'm really getting tired of these things. 

My lungs have been giving me a lot of issues too. I just had some x-rays done on Friday of my lungs for the pulmonary doctor. I went for blood work on Monday and saw my dermatologist yesterday. I go for a breathing test next week.

We had seen James over the weekend and he loves to look for things for me to buy on Amazon for him. So of course I can't help myself. So he received a package on Sunday and was so happy.

Hi Debby,
Continuing to pray for your health.
I like Leaving on a Jet Plane too, it is a song that easily gets stuck in my head and I will be humming all day. ;-)

That is so cute about James, about the Amazon shopping. Kinda like back when we were kids, and the Sears Robucks catalog! Some things never change!
🙏 always for your health.

Aww, Debby, you are such a good Grandma. James is so lucky to have you. Love the truck he got.
I'm so sorry that it's one thing after another for you.
Praying for good solutions to all of your pain and discomfort.

So fun to spoil a grandchild : ) I know you're weary of all the health issues and hope things improve for you soon. An ankle replacement sounds huge. Hugs xo

My dad loved to fly and bought his own plane after he retired. The last time I flew was with him..
Sorry to hear about your continued health issues. I sure wish they could give you some relief from all of it

Good morning Debby. Sorry to read about the ongoing issues with your ankle and lungs. It must be very frustrating for you. James definitely has his dear grandmother wrapped around his finger as the saying goes. It's nice that you can enjoy him so often. Blessings.

Hi Debby, James looks so happy with his truck. Isn't it great to be able to shop for them online. I was out your way yesterday. I met a friend at Greek Street on Indiana and La Sierra. Have you ever eater there. I sure hope you can get your ankle taken care of. Hugs!

Wow, I never heard of an ankle replacement, but that sounds promising. After everything you've endured!
Wasn't "Sully" an awesome movie? Even tho' we know how it turned out I was on the edge of my seat trying not to hyperventilate, haha.
