New Windows at 3102

We had some windows replaced in Mom & Dad's room and the yellow room.  The western windows upstairs have had almost 60 years of sun, wind, rain, and snow beating directly on them.

It seems Daisy is enjoying them too!

Duke Energy Trimmed the trees in back

When they were done, there were so many limbs to be disposed of, I had to catch this.  I would have taken a picture, but I couldn't fit it all in one pic.

The surprising thing, however, was the back yard looked almost the same as it did before

Since I was at my desk, looking for ways not to get started with work, I went into Google Maps to see what McMansion looked like to the outside world.  The answer: Pretty spiffy!  Points will be given to whoever can identify the four vehicles in the aerial shot. 

I tried...

You may have received an email informing you of a new post called "Updated Address List." I have deleted the post (McNews ignored the document I tried to attach to the post). It should be arriving in your inboxes about.....now! Love, Mother (OK, it was really Bob who typed this) /rsm

I didn't know that Blogger doesn't sign the posts that it emails out to everyone. Thanks for the catch, Barb.

Marilyn's Cleveland Clinic address

Marilyn is at Cleveland Clinic for an unknown number of days, for several different medical issues. She went in last week, and is in-patient for now.

For those of you wishing to send cards, flowers, or whatever, here’s her address:

Marilyn Kruse

ADRC – P-47

Cleveland Clinic

9500 Euclid Avenue

Cleveland, OH 44195

I’m sure she’d enjoy getting cards and other well wishes from family members.

Bill Spindler: earthquake & radio interview

Cousin Bill posted this on Facebook this afternoon/evening:

I just survived the Great VA Earthquake of 2011. 5.8! My place is 30 miles SW of the epicenter in Mineral... It knocked stuff off shelves, bent up my radio antenna. Roughest one I've been in, and I've felt a few in the Bay Area and Thailand...

I was still shaking long after it stopped! And hey, I was just interviewed by WNKU, the NPR station in Cincinnati and Middletown, I'll be on the news tomorrow!

So maybe you Ohio folks will catch him on the radio tomorrow. (And maybe we can catch it online, via streaming signal from WNKU.)

Kurt

Kurt is in the hospital getting an MRI at St. Lukes. Dad's there with him. The athletic director noticed that one of his pupils was dilated, and the school nurse took his blood pressure, and it was elevated. Kurt called his doctor of infectious diseases, and was told that his meds wouldn't cause that, and instructed him to get to the ER. One of our long family friends (from high school - she's a nurse) took Kurt. I'm sure Mom has called several of you. Please keep Kurt in your prayers again. I love that little guy!

Kurt and Mom update

Kurt is back home and Christy is there to look after him.(Deanna and Christy are my newly adopted sisters!)

Mom was feeling better when I talked to her this evening, and Dad is relieved that he might sleep (finally) the whole night.

Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes. THEY WORKED!

love, heather

Mom is out of Surgery

Dad just called and said Mom is out of surgery and the doctor told him that everything went really well. She'll be able to go home once she wakes up, so she could be there for a couple of days. ;-)  She got a plate and screws and pins?... Dad has the xray of what the doctor did, and said "you'll just have to see it."

She'll be home in a few hours and will have a long road to recovery, especially to play violin again. Thoughts, prayers and well wishes will go along way to help that.

Love,
Heather

Kurt's better

Heather left me a voicemail that Kurt is out of surgery and is doing much better. They found an abscess that was buried quite deep. They cleaned it out and have pumped even more antibiotics into him. He is, according to Heather, full of piss and vinegar again. Big relief.

Marilyn's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.

As they said on Hill Street Blues, let's be careful out there.

Kurt and Mom

Kurt's fever spiked again, so he's going to have surgery in an hour. I'm headed that way soon.

I was able to get Mom an ortho appt today at 1:40, and Dad picked up the xrays to take along.

Please keep both in your thoughts and prayers.

love,
heather
