Back in Texas!!

[Fernie]

I flew back to Texas last Saturday to relieve my brother who had given me a break staying here with Mary. He is currently on his way to Miama with his wife for a week long cruise. I will be here in Allen until the 19th of May. I bought a round trip ticket this time. I fly home the 19th and head for Illinois the 21st. I have a podiatrist appointment in Decatur with my old polidatrist for new orthodics on Friday, the Alumni Banquet in TH is on Saturday night, the Cemetary Memorial Dinner is on on Sunday put on for the upkeep of the cemetary and my 45th class reunion is on Monday the 25th. It will be one busy weekend. I'll head back to Tennessee then so if any of you are in the area---give me a hollar.

Mary's foot surgeon told her she could start walking last Thursday so she is using a walker. She still uses the wheel chair a lot in the house. She has to go into the hospital for a radioactive implant and will be there 2 days. She goes in the 11th and will come home the 13th. Hope she continues to do well. They will cast her foot for orthodics next Thursday and order her diabetic shoes. The orthodic on the rt. foot will have a toe filler to help stablizer her walking. That the latest here in Allen.

Holy smokes Fernie!!! Woman you are so on the go the color in PeeWee's britches will never be able to catch up!!! Lord woman I don't know how you do those marathons of yours!!!! Be sure to take care of yourself too!

Glad to hear your sister is doing well, will continue to keep ya'll in my prayers!!!!

[avalen]

Fernie,.... amazing schedule! But please do take time to catch some rest during all of that!

[Liz]

Your sister is doubly blessed to have you and your brother to help out in time of need. Take care of yourself too!

[BirdbyBird]

Do take care of yourself in all this....and remember to slow down enough to find and enjoy the moments you can.....

Pee Wee and Flossie Floosie are both in Tennessee packed away. I am starting to miss both of them. I sure wish Flossie Floosie was here to deliver Mary's friend Joe's birthday cake next Thursday. We are going out to eat at Chedders and taking him a Toilet Cake for his birthday. Two years ago when I was here with Mary we fixed him a Kitty Litter cake. He still won't eat Tootsie rolls unless he buys them!!

I went on-line hunting cakes and found the toilet cake. I am going to buy a round angel food cake at Walmart and two rectangular angel food cakes for the tank and frost them. You hollow the round cake out a little and put lemon jello (or maybe lemon pudding because I don't like lemon jello----haven't decided for sure) in the bowl along with some raisens or tootsie rolls warmed and shaped!! We are also buying him items he can use in his bathroom--like a new bowl brush, plunger, room deoderant, TP, bowl cleaner. He will be set. Mary and her friends always make birthdays interesting and different. Pee Wee could deliver it too----if only one of them was here!!! HA HA

I have made the kitty litter cakes, and I LOVE to see people's reactions to them! If possible, can you post a picture of the toilet cake? That sounds like something I might make for this summer! I can probably figure it out just from your description, but a picture would help a lot!

Thanks for the great idea...guess I, too, could go online and look up toilet cake, come to think of it!!

[Fernie]

Sorry but I don't have Photo Bucket downloaded on this computer yet and with the problems I have staying connected here at Mary's, I haven't even tried. If you Google Toilet cakes, a bunch will come up. I'm going to make one with the tank. I will make him a blue "padded" toilet seat to set it apart from the while commode!!

[Echo]

Hey Fernie, about chocolate pudding?????? With the tootsie rolls for the added effect. Hmmmm? Thin slices of Angel Food cake frosted white and on the side for TP???

[Fernie]

One cake recommended lemon jello in the bowl and raisens for loose stools!! Gross for sure.

[Gentleladybear]

I know I saw a blue streak in the sky the other night think that was Fernie flying to her next destination. Slow down some girl and breath, breath, breath.

Glad things are going good in Texas.

Got to take a look at these toilet cakes...got a few people could use one of those for.

Geez, Fernie....We both are busy gals.....

[Echo]

Chocolate syrup for down in the cake!!! OMG!

[Fernie]

Hey----we are taking this cake to a restaurant and cutting it there. We don't want a mess all over. Choc. pudding might work!! LOL
