Hi this is Big Bob again today. I snuck on Mom's computer to let you all know that Mom & Dad don't know which way we are going for vacation this year. Dad got a new job, which he started on May 13. He is driving for a company in Savannah, MO. They deliver fertilizer and water to the fields. Well, just after 2 weeks, It started raining around here. So, you see, apparently when it rains, there is no need for Dad to go to work. Dad has been home from work for 2 weeks now, and has had to file for unemployment again.
Last weekend, we all got a scare here at the house. Mom thought she had a heart attack. They took Mom by ambulance to the hospital to be checked out. They couldn't find anything, but kept her overnight for observation. You see, women have different symptoms than men, when they are having or may be ready to have a heart attack. Mom had to go through several different tests this week to check out why this happened to her. She had a 2 day stress test, an Echo with bubble study, and she is also going to have a MRI and an MRA on Sunday at 2pm. That's too many tests for me. She will find out the results of all of this next week sometime. They explained to me that these tests are not like I had when I went to Ladybug School. It was really a good thing that Dad was home this week from work, as he was there to help Mom out. Dad is really good with helping our Mom. We are so glad that we have this Mom and Dad to live with.
During the week, Dad also had to rebuild his truck engine. He blew a gasket on it a while ago. He was able to fix his truck in just a few days. Another blessing for why Dad didn't work this week.
Mom & Dad went out for the day on Friday. It had been a crazy week with doctor appointments and also Dad working on the truck. They drove down to Kansas City to a few yarn shops....I know...do they really need more yarn? After that, they went to eat at a place called Noodles & Company. Mom & Dad said that the food was awesome! Of course, while they were down there, they also visited their friend Liz who has been in a nursing home for several years now.
Let me get back to the reason for this posting. When Dad lost his job, Mom was going to fly to New Jersey. Then Dad said he would like to go too, so they looked into what it would cost to fly, as well as take the train. I think the train would really be fun, but I think that Dad would prefer to drive, so that we can see a lot more things together. We will be able to get out of the car and maybe have a picnic or something fun like that.
So...now you know...we are all wondering....Which Way Will We Go?
