This last little bout with the \u201ccrud\u201d had me down pretty hard for almost the entire week. The doctor has not narrowed it down to what it is exactly, but I do feel a little better. I should get the results of all the tests today or tomorrow. But enough of that, I had some family over this weekend and what to write about that instead.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nMy Uncle Paul (from my dad\u2019s side) and Aunt Barbara came in this weekend. It is always good to see them. They had called last week to say they were coming by and to make sure it was ok to bring their dog. When the kids got word of the dog, all I heard was how we need one. My first thoughts were &#8211; Great! Just what we need \u2013 another mouth to feed, something else for me to clean up in the yard\u2026 Now don\u2019t get me wrong. I love dogs, I just really wanted to wait until we had a place with a little more room to roam (outside \u2013 where the dog should be). <\/p>\n<p>So I may be leaning toward the dog thing and if I do it will not be one of those little petite things that go \u201cyipe, yipe\u201d. LOL We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>I was a little worried that with me being down sick I would not get to visit with my family. However, by the time they arrived Friday. I was feeling much better. Plus since we mostly hung around the house and talked, it worked out great. Jack, Lyndsi, and Carter came over through out the weekend to visit as well, which was fun.<\/p>\n<p>We went out to eat on Saturday \u2013 they treated us \u2013 Sweeeet! Sunday night we grilled out at our house. Jack brought the secret sauce, which was pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>We took some time to record a few songs with Uncle Paul. He brought some CD backing tracks he uses at the church singings. He had been down with a little cold the week before and still on medicine, but they came out fine. He was not completely happy with his own performance, but we all know we\u2019re our own worse critic usually.<\/p>\n<p>I still want to try and get everyone in my family\/friends that sings, writes, or plays and instrument together several times for my little \u201cLiving Room Sessions\u201d project. I figure we\u2019ll do some original songs, old gospel, and country \u2013 stuff we would normally do when every one is around. Some of the songs that Uncle Paul recorded were what I had in mind. I guess I need to get off my butt and get that project rolling before everyone gets too dang old to move or sing. LOL<\/p>\n<p>Not a long post, since I am still feeling very tired and have a splitting headache at the moment, but that\u2019s what I wanted to remember \u2013 now it is forever recorded in my little blog. I\u2019ll post some pictures a little later. Keep me in your prayers on this illness crud. I want to get rid of it for good. It is interfering with other things I need to be doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a lot of you know, I\u2019ve been sick off and on in the last few months.
