Busy Times at Murray's Nursing Home

Our neighbors continue to fall like the temperatures here... Our across the street gal has had a bad back for some time, and finally, gave up the ghost and agreed to have herself checked in at the hospital, where she'll be for a few days.  No worries, we agreed to baby sit her sweet dog, Molly.  I've been walking Molly every night anyway, since she can't get around- well, the neighbor lady also volunteered to take her for walks, and of course, while she has Molly out, she wasn't aware Molly chases bikers and walkers, and in this case, a guy who terrorizes the neighborhood by racing his big dog up and down the street using his golf cart as a walker.  Well, Molly went after him, and got smashed.  Immediate expensive trip to the Vets, and she now has two lacerations on her legs, and is stove up a little, she's getting along better today, but we were lucky.. Geez. 
Molly is now safely recovering in our living room, if you look closely, you can see the two cut areas on her left front and right rear legs.  She has cleaned them up totally, and is actually walking around a bit.  She was pretty groggy yesterday from being stitched, and we are predicting a complete recovery.  She is a sweet little  dog. 

Love Blue Herons and pretty sunsets, had both in the last 24 hours:

Got pretty well expressed through our Wed Doctor tours, Bette for her mammogram and me for the cardiologist, I have a routine stress test next Wednesday.  Down here, they combine the stress test with the Systemibi nuclear study, so I get both done at the same time.  Presuming that will all come back fine.  My numbers continue to be in record low areas. 

Made campground reservations for the November Miami trip, so that's all set, we'll be there from Monday to Friday of Thanksgiving week, looking forward to Tina and Cooper being with us- We're staying in what is supposed to be a very nice county park in Pembroke Pines, about 25 miles north of Miami. Also plan to do 3 National Parks, tour Sun Coast field, home of the Dolphins, tour the new Marlins baseball stadium, and Cooper wants to go to the Kardashian store, and of course, we'll have to go to South Beach!. 

Tomorrow is Saturday routine day, coffee club, then the Flea Market, and the produce man shopping, then grocery shopping.  We won't go to the Golden Lion this week since Kippy is still under the weather and the Colagiovannis are heading out of town. 

Got the schedule for the Spring Major League Baseball trip, and think we have settled in on what we may be doing for that-  Involves a trip in late March and the first couple of days of April down to Melbourne, Jupiter, and back through Orlando to see 5 games, be out 4 nights for that one. It's become our "men's" tradition- this year, may have 4 or more guys... 

Cold this morning, coldest day of the year so far, about 43, and stayed kind of coolish for most of the day...
