Darn Ambulance Drivers.
Another Christmas has passed. It is now officially the day after. I was asleep, when like many nights ambulance sirens were "blaring." Usually they are coming from one of the smaller communities to our hospital. For some reason in the middle of the night, they think they have to blare through town. You can hear them from one end to the hospital. During the daylight hours, no sirens. So why at night? I mean this is Danville... not Chicago or some other big town. Traffic is almost nonexistent in the middle of the night. I guess those volunteer crews think we all need to be awake if they have to be. Only difference being, I don't receive any compensation (Yes volunteers do get paid!)I have been told by volunteers that they can charge the insurance or the victim more with the sirens blaring. Turn off the sirens at night... If you happen to meet a car, use the alert horn... Please think of others. You cannot drive over the speed limit... you have the right-of-way in traffic and at all lights... I can see your lights much better than hear your siren if I have on my radio or others in the car talking... so why the siren in the middle of the night?

Water Park in the Winter?
Yes we went to the indoors water park this weekend. All the grandchildren were there. We had tons of fun. Devon even decided that he liked water more than just the hot tub.
Big brother Austin and Aunt Lara get Devon to walk in the water. Big brother then leads him to the pirate ship. Soon Devon needed no one, just his desire to explore.
Leading Devon to the water: Lara and Austin!
Big brother wants to take him to the ship. They are a pirate hunting.
It seems a bit scary to the wee little one.
Austin explains the water coming up from the ground.
Look at me I am getting braver.
Look how proud I am of my self. The grinning shows it.

Casino?
That's right we went to the boat in MC. Lara, Chris, James and me. How much did we spend, not much... we only took $60.00 for us all to "loose!" We didn't loose it all, but most of it. It was fun. Most of all it was nice to just spend time with Lara and Chris... Let's don't forget that 20 pound cat Tiger too. He's such a ham...
He really wants to be a "dog." LOL

Been Looking For
I have been searching and searching for some long-lost relatives. I think I have finally found them. Woohoo. We are excited to find them. I am sure the kids will be too.
We are heading out to the riverboat with Lara and Chris tonight. Penny slots here we come. Maybe we can come home a dollar or two "richer." LOL
I have to get my Christmas cards out soon.
Early this morning I had the opportunity to talk to some of the folks in Wales. Rodz remember when you all come in Oct. --- Indianapolis to watch American Football... GO COLTS!
