Baloo said:Could you please pray for our neighbor Mr Wilson?![]()
I noticed I hadn't seen him the yard the last couple days. After school on Mondays Erich always brings the Wilson's garbage can back up to their house from the road.He came running home saying Mr Wilson fell and hurt his head,he's in the hospital and paralyzed on one side.So Joe and I went over to see what was wrong. Apparently late Fri. afternoon he fell outside,maybe off a ladder,his wife isn't sure.Joe had been with him about 2:30 pm Fri. afternoon helping him get a tire off his boat trailer.Mrs Wilson got him in the house ,he said he felt nauseous and went to go up stairs to the bathroom were he fell again and hit his head VERY hard on the corner of the wall.. Their daughter took him to the ER where the did a cat scan and immediately got him to surgery as he had a terrible brain bleed. He's unconscious and they believe his paralyzed on his left side.
I am stunned.
He's only 71,such a character.When Erich was 2-5 years old he followed Mr. Wilson all over the place,we use to call Erich, Dennis the Menace.Mr. Wilson is shaped like Dennis's Mr. Wilson ,always has a plaid shirt on but he has a full head of white hair and a smile on his face and always a joke or a wise crack when you see him.
We've been neighbors for 14 years.He has been the BEST neighbor. Please send your prayers and good thoughts that he recovers.
Thank you.
That is awful. Mr. Wilson will be in my prayers.
Nice to see you, Baloo! How are things going with you?

Can you just imagine what Bill will say to that?!
. The kids like the pony races and that they call straws silly sticks. The love getting all the ketchup and then bringing it to the next table. Like I said it is a must do for us. We also do CM every trip. The other's we tend to rotate through during various trips. We tried Beaches and Cream last trip for the Kitchen Sink. We had a wonderful time. Chris is sure that he can eat an entire kitchen sink by himself in less than an hour. That is a challenge that they have there. If one person eats the whole thing by themselves in less than an hour it is free. He has made that he personal mission, so guess what we'll be doing next trip

I don't think I can sleep tonight waiting for 4 AM so I can try to get in. Hopefully all the Visa people didn't get all the package rooms.
I just HATE that I have zero desire to work anywhere else in the entire city. If that weren't the case, I would NOT be this nervous (and I probably would have cancelled the interview with the fourth call this morning!
)
But thanks for thinking of me :kiss:
