Before I start in on the West News, let me bring you up to date on my news. Jamie had fallen and broke her collar bone so couldn't work so I haven't been watching the baby..I'm going through missing Great Granddaughter mode..sucks...but the good news is she starts back to work Sunday so Monday I'll have Abby back..hot damn. Wednesday I had a colonoscopy done...the less details of that the better..but let me tell you after I had it and they said you'll be gassy and fart a lot I had no idea what they meant..My first trip to the bathroom in the hospital, sounded like I had a bazooka in my ass. But the good news is Hillsboro Hospital has a great staff, from Dr to the nurses..they all rocked. I was in such good hands..
Oh, they found one small polyp and removed it and waiting for results, but no one seemed to think it was a big deal..hope so..he actually said for my age, he expected more of them. So ? My ass is fine..so far.
This coming Saturday I'm going to be a volunteer at the West High School wrestling match. I will be helping at the concession stand from 1-4:30..something I've never done before..should be fun.
Inky and Anissa are leaving Saturday to go to Costa Rica for a paid vacation by Anissa's work..for a week. I don't think either one of them have been out of the country before and pretty sure Inky has never been on a plane..They are both so excited..It's been off and on nice or cold here for over a month and Inky said he didn't care what the weather was here(supposed to be in the 50's) he was wearing shorts and flip flops to fly there. I can't tell you how excited they are.
Oh..and speaking of vacations..my aunt who's husband just died recently is with her kids on that ocean liner in middle of ocean. The kids had talked her into going as she has never been on a cruise before ....so what happens? It catches fire and they're stranded in the middle of no where. I bet she is pissed.
Ok...West, by Goddess, Texas news now.

Great news on the lower GI front. I really miss the news from West. Wish you would do it more often.
What bad luck for your Aunt on her first cruise! From the news reports, conditions on board seem horrible. But apparently everyone will have their full money refunded plus be offered another free cruise.
I've had a number of colonoscopies over the years. They give you nice drugs for it, don't they? And farting afterwards is the best part!
You will never know how much I wish that I knew you...Back When....,but I'm glad to be able to re-visit West through you now.
Thx Jackie. (((hugs)))
I would love to have a fish and shrimp dinner, then go have a stew and chili dinner, then go knock off a couple of those 16 oz sirloins. I an starving!
I'm going to start doing the West News every Wed. or Thursday, instead of hump day cartoons, I know I have lots of people that used to live her and now live in scattered parts of the country, use my blog to keep up with the news..Especially the reunions..so I'll be doing them more often.
Your poor aunt! I hope this doesn't tarnish her idea of cruises or travel. Wow!
I love it when you update us about West. It sounds like such a charming place.
