MAXINE's "Vaca" -- Day Four

"Blue" Monday turned out to be quite fantastic for us! After the disappointment of finding zilch, nadda, nothing @ the flea market, --we hit the big WOW w/shopping.!!  LOL
Our trip was to Rome....Maxine wanted to wander in MICHAELS...looking for a "project" item. Well. No luck. However, she was able to grab a few, nice items on her Christmas list. She was tickled.
(I found a couple of neat things, too.)
Then -- off to check out KMart. Yep. There is one in Rome. Nice store.
JACKPOT!!
It's the small "stuff" that makes us happy! Maxine found a couple of items she had been "searching" for, and so did I.  So. Go stuff it WalMart!!!  LOL
We ate a quick lunch @ Steak n Shake (2nd time, but she loves it!)
Next destination ~~Cedartown. We visited her Sister, Mary. They are a hoot the two of them! It had been a few yrs. since they had "eyes" on each other. They had fun, and I enjoy being w/sweet, dear Mary. I think Mary said she is 83, and Maxine turned 79 this yr.

They really enjoyed being together.("chatted" it up pretty darn good!)
It was a very good day ~~one of the best, I think, since Maxine got here to visit. Shopping "finds"  + visit w/her Sister....SCORE!!  haha

"Money Pit"

This movie made an unexpected visit here Christmas Eve! Donnie, being the prankster he is!, and Pam decided to play a "funny" on Stacey & Marc. Some of you may know.....Stacey was able this yr. to purchase a house. We've all been so excited for them, and now their money goes NOT to rent, but into a home that will be theirs to grow the kids there. They moved into the house 'bout July. Within a couple of months.....they had to replace the air conditioning system AND dig up the septic....ugh. Now, unfortunately, there seems to be some damage to the roof. ugh. (piece of ceiling in kitchen "fell in"). It's been a tough time for repairs/replacements! So, Donnie went out, searched and found this movie.....gave it to Stacey & Marc as a "gift"......It really WAS quite funny (at the moment!) Notice the looks on Stacey & Marc's faces in these..... Now....it was like my sweet Daddy was present! Daddy had a talent for "pic

Me, NEEDLES, YES!

Anyone who knows me is already aware of this fact. I do NOT like needles.....AVOID them @ every opportunity! My Dr. struggles to get shots into me! I'd rather take oral meds ANY day....lol   I've been forced to make exception to that on few occasions. Antibiotics. Liver biopsy. Steroids (hate those, the med BURNS!) Now I'm in PT for my hip and leg pain. It's PT, or continue to walk in pain. I chose PT. These lil suckers are wonnnnnderful!!! In only 3 sessions, these guys have gotten rid of my intense pain...Happily, they really don't 'hurt'. There is some slight prick-feel (like shot needles). When they are popped into my "sore spots", it's a bit tender....but then, there's this "heat" sensation. PT instructor explained that means the blood is again flowing, and it helps relax the "tied-up" nerves. Whatev..........I  LOVE it! So, guess and "ol dog" can learn new lessons! hahaha I still do NOT like shots
