It Is HOT!!!

Hey Ya'll,

We are getting ready to leave Bakersfield. Steve had to go to the doctor the end of last week. His bloodwork came back with wonderful results. 6 months ago his triglycerides and cholesterol numbers were insanely high. They were higher than the charts go. Not good. He has been on some massive meds and we have had to watch his liver function because the meds were so intense. The med combo has worked, His Triglycerides are at 252, normal is 42-193. His Cholesterol is 135, which is actually low, WooHoo! His A1C, that is a blood sugar test, it tells what his blood sugar average has been over the past 3 months. His is 6.4, non diabetics are between 4.3-5.8, so this is wonderful. He is doing soooo good, I am so glad.

We will get down to L.A. this evening and leave on our next trip early in the morning.

We have been running like crazy and we will be again starting tomorrow. It was good to have a few days off in Bakersfield. It has been really hot, but we got a few things done for Steve's mom and a few things done for us.

Steve bought me a fun present while we have been here. I got a Sony EBook Reader. I love it. Steve got one last fall and I have been wanting one, so he went and got me my own, since I had kind of taken his over the past few weeks. It saves on us having to haul lots of books around with us, we just buy them digitally and this little machine stores them and we read from it just like a book. The screen isn't lit like a computer screen so you don't get the same type of eye fatigue, so you can read like you do a regular book. It is great.

Well, I will let you all know where we are headed in the next day or so. Hope all is well with everyone, love and miss you all, T
