Left Early

We left the house at 8:15 AM and headed for H'ville. We took I-65 and then Hy. 20. It's longer, but quicker. We found the Medical Mall but walked in the front of the building and had to walk the length of the building to find the right office. Frank had his vital signs checked and had an EKG, which was normal. The nurse went over the medicines he shouldn't take and we were through by 10:30 AM and then went to the Franklin Building, to the Pain Center to get Dad's Rx and then on to an appointment with Dr. Phillips. It was in and out there and we were on our way home. We stopped at McDonald's and we both got a McFlurry and an order of fries. Yes, that was a very nutritious meal....NOT! But it did taste good!

After we got home, I tried to make a pot of chili. I had about 2-3 lbs of ground steak and not enough tomatoes, so I added some tomato sauce. Then my beans were white beans and no chili seasoning. What I was going to season it with had corn syrup in it and Mariam is allergic to corn. Hopefully Trudy will have some chili powder and someone can season the chili so it will taste good enough to eat.

Mary Kate and her family are probably there by now (7:45 PM). Frankie and Rachel called and said they were stuck in traffic in Knoxville and asked if it would be okay if they spent the night at their house and got up early and got here by 8:00 AM. Of course it's alright. One trip going to Florida for Thanksgiving, we got cough in traffic near Atlanta that was bumper to bumper! No fun at all.
