6 Nov: Historic Election! Congratulations to the American People! 2:00 AM in Texas. Ron has had a lazy day, getting up late, breakfast late, a walk on the formerly haunted trail mid-afternoon, and he has quarters for laundry. Maybe laundry is why he dragged his feet today.
5 Nov: Election day with all the media fanfare and BS. It is raining again this morning here at Lake Carlyle. Sistah Carol reports that her pond is full. Now if only the well would replenish its supply. Another day indoors with indexing. Maybe after 2 PM it will stop raining so that Ron can walk the dam.  But instead, Ron watched Larry Bird basketball highlights for a couple of hours, Bill O'Reilly for another hour or more, and finally started walking 10:20 to 11:26 PM. It isn’t raining in Texas; Cynthia walked to the lake and home, enjoying a phone call from Smooch. 💋 Once home, she ordered the protein (for Ron) which will arrive 7 Nov. Cynthia is working on the Rambo DNA Project; FTDNA was helpful in restoring ten kits (that she deleted) back to the project. Carol is very happy. We want Carol happy. Our God reigns.
4 Nov: Jon is driving Cynthia to her ten AM Dr Appt at St Luke’s. She ordered a $109.00 GPS for the car as recommended by the former owner. Ron was tired last night while walking across the dam and went to bed about 6 PM, slept until 5 AM and still feels a bit lethargic this morning whle indexing. It has been raining in Carlyle non-stop since well before dawn. Odds are good that the lake level will rise and more water will be released from the dam. Nephew Eric visited but Ron was unable to figure out what Google has done to prevent photos from showing up on his web site.
3 Nov, Sunday: Ron did depart at dawn for church in Trenton to see if twins Cheryl and Carol are there. Don and Ann told him last year that Cheryl's husband in homebound requiring constant attention, so the odds are good that still applies. They attend a different church in Carlyle now. As of 10:00 AM, we are both at worship, different churches, different states, but united in Thanksgiving. Cynthia and son Jon enjoyed a lovely birthday party at Good Charlie’s Oyster Bar. Indexing always continues. Ron was delighted to learn from the other couple in his pew an address for his classmate Dean H., but he doesn't answer his phone.
2 Nov: Reading news before bedtime is not conducive to a good night sleep… tick tock…the hours passed. Finally, at 11:30 Cynthia slept until close to two and Boinnggg! Awake again, dozing/dreaming and awake at five AM. The dream might have made a great movie, if she could remember it. Exercised, bathed, weighed, and fed, she is preparing for a 10:00 brunch with Lauren’s family and Jon. It rained all afternoon in Texas.
2 Nov: Ron enjoyed a second night of good sleep. Cynthia was plagued by restlessness. Ron went into the woods three times pulling bush honeysuckle and clipping multiflora rose. His knee and back seem to be improving as he continues taking it easy on them.
1 Nov: Meanwhile in Texas, Cynthia slept ten hours before exercising, eating, calling Ron, responding to messages helping two people with their Rambo DNA questions, calling FTDNA, reading the news, walking four miles, calling Ron, eating lunch, responding to MD ANDERSON about next week’s Mammogram, and she is now on hold with Customer Service at 1:25 PM. But she is ever so thankful for life in Christ, Ron, our life together, family and the return of health! .
