Storm Damage in Kokomo, Indiana

Halloween Severe Weather Warning Tonight

Due to the Severe weather warning tonight-  we haven't had any Trick or Treaters tonight.....several communities in the area are rescheduling Trick or Treat nite for this Friday or Saturday.   The winds and rains are bad enough that we decided to bring in our awning AND slide.   Some nearby counties have tornado warning.  Guess we'll miss out on handing out candy this year- since the rest of this season at Amazon- we'll be working Friday thru Monday from  5pm til 3:30am !!

The Eye

I went to the eye Dr. today and came away with another good report. I could read the E on the 2nd line. The medical aide then put the peephole down and I could see the 2 letters behind the E and I could also vaguely read the next line. That hasn't been possible since I got the infection  Feb.
There was a stitch loose, so the Dr. removed the stitch and prescribed an eye drop  4 times a day for 4 days to prevent any infection. Kind of a precautionary move.
Next appointment is the 6th of Dec.

Until then,

Filbert

The EYE

Well here we are at Amazon.com in Campbellsville KY. I saw an eye Dr. in Lexington KY. this morning and he said the eye is continuing to heal, although it is still very fragile. I could see the E on the second line which is an improvement from the last Dr. visit in MI.
I am to continue the same dosage of medication that I have been doing, and unless something changes, I don't need to see him for a month. I didn't make an appointment, since I'm waiting to see what my work schedule is here at Amazon. I'll find that out this coming Monday.

Until next time,

Cousin Dan Rudler !

While at our cousin reunion at Wall Lake, near Delton, MI, my cousin Julie gave me 2 boxes of Wells family historical pictures and other information.  Knowing we would be traveling through PA. where some of the family records indicated there would be relatives from my  great grandmother Rudler (My grandfather Wells mother)....I began calling all the Rudlers in PA.  Lo and behold! Dan Rudler of Youngstown, PA area returned my call.  Today I had the privilege of meeting Dan and his wife Danette and happily handed over all the pictures and family tree info! :)  Yea!! Thank you Julie & those who preserved all the data!

Hmmmmmm

Guess this can be used in a variety of ways!!:)
