Plugging Along Back in Texas
Not much new here in H-town. We're back at home and trying our best to recover from our adventure. Virtually all of our international trips seem kind of like a dream after you get home, like, were we really in those places? It seems so far away but it certainly was real. I was especially glad we didn't try to make the trip to Delhi as the Taj Mahal was shut down to visitors for a few days because of the unrest in near by Pakistan and because it would've been additional strain on Kim. She continues to recover nicely here at home. We're trying our best to stay up with the exercises as that is what will help her continue to a full recovery but the first few days have been challenging. Our sleep patterns are off, night to day and such plus we're adjusting back to my cooking. Fortunately, friends from church have also brought some food by the house which is really nice. Kim got out and attended a sorority meeting yesterday for about an hour. (with her driver of course) It's an ordeal for her right now just to do all those normal things, showering, getting dressed, riding, getting in and out and she was tired after we got home but she's doing great and working hard. Her leg muscles are still not very happy with all the changes and exercises and her right leg is still behind the left as the left side was operated on first. We're going to try to go to the Ganders playoff game tonight if she feels up to it. We were fairly certain they'd not still be playing but they are. Don't know much else for now except that we're blessed more than we deserve. We are looking for each day to be better than the previous one. Maybe today or tomorrow I'll take some video of her walking and post it.

Dave and Kim,
So what im reading is india isnt a place that youve been dreaming to move to. Well guess ya gotta try things out first before ya really know. And they say Texas is a whole other country. At least here we know the slang. I imagine American cooking was really missed. But to see how others live is a lesson in itself.
Read this today somewhere:
In school you get the lesson first and then you take the test.
In Life you take the test first and then you get the lesson.
Thanks again for the blog. It seemed like i was there day to day the way you write. I would never have been able to experience that without your blog.
Love you both very much

David,
I to thank you so much for allowing your distant uncle to be there with you and your's. To be candid I got so used to checking the blog, that I miss the updates. Won't ask you to make up stuff just I'll have something to read. Just the facts work really well. Sounds like that part of the world is really being tested, from military unrest in the area to 155 MPH winds in a neighboring country. I just can't imagine what you guys saw; what you experienced and the joy of leaving to come home. Heck, Babs and I are not traveler's so it's really distant to us. We're just old home bodies, literally and figutatevely(sp). Now I can't spell so the mind, also is going , LOL.
The best to you and yours during this holiday week and everyday for that matter. Going to Ringling, OK tomorrow to attend the funeral of Babs' last aunt. Time moves on and now we are the old ones in her family. She only has 3 nieces and one nephew left on her dads side of the family. One uncle on her mothers side, but he doesn't care to remember his up bringing and family, so we don't lose sleep over not seeing him. His loss, not ours.
Thanks again for the reality of everything over recent weeks.
Uncle Jerry
