Windy Ridge News



Wayne and I took off for Landrum on Thursday to see the new great grandchild and his big sister. Of course we saw their parents, too. Our oldest grandchild, Andy, now has two little ones that he and his wife Jessica are the proud parents of. Lola was cute as could be and she seems to adore her new brother. It was a great visit. Wayne's a proud great grandpa!

Now that we are going to Costco in Spartanburg for bulk grocery shopping occasionally, we may just stop by and visit the Arrowoods more often. Love watching those babies grow.

Good news and good news, I think...

I completed my sleep study Wednesday night and the results are that I do not have sleep apnea. The other news is good in a way and not so good in a way. I now have to sleep with oxygen every night. I have a machine by my bed that makes its own oxygen and furnishes me with 2 liters of O2 via nasal cannula all night long as I sleep. It seems that my O2 saturation (that should be near 100%) goes down to 85 and less % when I fall asleep. That is not considered acceptable so now I am on O2 at night. I can live with that (no pun intended) preferable to a CPAP machine for sleep apnea that involves wearing a mask every time one sleeps and is much more cumbersome to deal with than simple O2.
On a much happier note, we are busy preparing for the arrival of family next Thursday. Will be so glad when they arrive. They have not seen our house ince it was finished and lived in. We should be able to get in a few good games of Qwrikle and Blokus while they are here. Wayne and I play Qwirkle over breakfast daily. We really enjoy it.

Secure Are We

We are now proud owners of a really nice security system. Just had it installed today. It talks to us. Has many neat features. We will show it off when company comes.
Speaking of "sentry duty," any noise outside brings on ferocious barking at the start with mucho tail wiggles upon appearance of the guests. Don't let the loud barking spook you. Such well behaved dogies we have. They sit on command. They will be freshly bathed and kept in check when the Eurys arrive. They love everybody who comes.
