Christmas Visitation

Tim, Sydney, and Alex dropped by to see "momma Q" while they were home for winter break. I fixed them a great homemade meal and then we all settled in to watch the Titans play football. Great weekend. I enjoy "the boys" visits.

Thanksgiving at work

Today at work we had a potluck Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone brought a favorite dish and the company purchased turkey and dressing. It was a wonderful lunch with great fellowship. After lunch, the company gave all the employees a Kroger gift card as a thank you for all the hard work.

And last but not least - Scott (in pink shirt) is the CFO - the man with the money!

Blog backgrounds

Thanks to my wonderful daughter - I'm getting the hang of this new blog background change! Watch out world...here I come.

Beauty by the window

Every day we have been blessed with the beauty of this one little tree which continues to show its fall beauty. All the other trees in our yard have lost their leaves - but this one is still holding its on. It seems like every day - the colors are more richer and more vibrant. We have enjoyed looking out the window and admiring the colors.

Fall Fun

We figured - if we are going to have to rake the leaves ourselves - why not have a little fun while doing it! More pictures in my shutterfly album to the right.

Eye Plugs

I've never even heard of them till I talked with my brother in law about a month ago. I'm having some eye problems, and my eye doctor prescribed Restasis drops for me to use twice a day. She said that it would take about three months for me to really notice a difference with the eye disease that I have. She also mentioned at that first visit that I might have to get these tear duct plugs to help the Restasis work better. I talked with my brother in law after that visit and he said yes, that was typical treatment.

I went to see her again today as a followup. I told her that I could really tell a big difference with the drops, and that the last few days - the drops were starting to really burn. She said that was normal and was a good indication that it was starting to work. She said to put the drops in the refrigerator and that could help with the burning. She also gave me another prescription for some other drops - that are like numbing drops that I can use before using the Restasis so that it will not burn so bad. I'll wait and see about that. She did say that even though I felt a difference, she felt that there would be better improvement from what she was seeing during the eye exam if she went ahead and put some temporary plugs in my tear ducts.

I was a little uneasy about it, but they put some numbing drop sin my eyes and then put in the plugs right there in the office. It didn't hurt, but my eyes have not stopped tearing since she did it. I hope that doesn't continue on...if so - I can tell you right now that I will not be getting permanent ones put in (which is what she wants to do if these work well in another 3 weeks or so).Hmmmm.....I don't know about that....she is going to have to do a lot of convincing me for that to happen.

Fall Memories

Ooooh the memories.....

Ed called me at work and said that he had raked the leaves today and that he just didn't have the time or the stamina to rake them and bag them like he used to do. I remember when the girls were little, they would come outside and play for hours in the leaves - the piles of leaves that their daddy had just raked up. I miss those days!
