Today was such a nice day. I went to visit both of my sisters. We had a very nice day together. We met at my other sister's house. The sister that I speak alot about wasn't feeling well though. I finally convinced her to call the urologist on Monday to either schedule an appointment or get more antibiotics because that kidney infection is far from over. I just hope that when they take the stent out of her this nightmare will be over. I hate to see her like this, in so much pain. She tried to make the best of it. It was good for her to get out of the house.We got to see my niece who is home from college on break. My 28yr old nephew showed up to borrow his sister's digital camera to take to a wedding him, his girlfriend, & his roommate were attending. I got to meet her today finally! The pathetic thing is that they have been dating for a year and a half! She was SO sweet. She has a son from a prior relationship & my nephew just adores him. So that it good. He seems to be really serious about her because he is moving back home to save money so they can get a house together. For my nephew, that is a big step. My actually putting it into words amazes me. That's my baby!! LOL! The fact that he would become an instant father amazes me too. It is good that he & her son get along. I believe he is 10 years old. My nephew brought along one of his roommates. He & a bunch of his friends rent a brownstone in Hoboken. I think there are 7 of them. Well this guy was a trip & he was SO funny. I loved his voice. He had an accent & I just had to know. So, I blurt out, "Where is your voice from, I love it?". Everyone thought it was funny. It was like spontaneous combustion. It just came out. He replied, "Germany". So I asked him to keep talking because I loved his accent. My nephew turns to him and says, "Tell her a story". He is such a jokester. He returned a compliment to me saying how much he loved my Miami Ink t-shirt. Very cool. When the three of them left I tried to convince my niece to ask her brother to set them up. He was adorable. Apparently I missed something. She thought he was a "metrosexual" & that would mean he is too high maintenance. So she was not interested. This is coming from a girl who prior to their arrival showed me her new pair of Burberry rain boots that she was bringing back to college with her. Now who is high maintenance?
ON A SIDE NOTE: I would like to take this opportunity to pay a little tribute to my favorite singer of all time. Today is the 31st anniversary of Elvis Presley's passing. My regular readers know how much I adore him. I just wanted to post a little something honoring his memory.

1977 I was in high school I can still remember hearing the news the world was in shock, may he rest in peace.
I had bladder surgery when I was 28 years old, and that was painful and a nightmarewhat your sister is going through so much her body must be so tired. I hope she starts feeling better soon.
glad you had a nice visit. :) marina
Thanks Marina!! For your prayers, all your concern. Jenny asked about you today! You and all the people who ask about her. She knows alot of you by name! I tell her about each one of you. I even showed her your award you sent her. She loved it! She said "tell her thank you so much". My niece let me borrow her laptop so I could show her.
I also had bladder surgery when I was an infant & then when I was 12yrs old. It was not a pleasant experience...well I remember the one when I was 12 only though.
Marina - Thanks also about what you said about Elvis. Forgot to mention that.
Kidney infection can be very painful, it is a good idea to see a doctor.
I don't know Elvis much, I wasn't born when he died so... but he symbolizes the U.S.A for me before I came here.
So glad you had a nice visit with your family!
I was living in Germany when Elvis died and I can remember the feeling of shock and disbelief. Sad day in history.
Sending positive thoughts your sister's way. I hope she goes to see the doctor again. It is so hard to see your loved ones in pain.
Tell your niece that metrosexual is a good thing:)
Zhu - Alot of people associated Elvis with the USA. He loved this country so much. In the 70s he incorporated the song "American Trilogy" into his live performances. That was one of his favorite songs.
Sue - Thanks, I really had a nice visit. Germany loved Elvis because of the time he spent in the army there. How long did you live in Germany?
Scriber's Web - Thanks so much about my sister. It is very hard to see them in any type of pain. It makes you feel helpless. As for my niece...I lover her SO much but she made that assumption about that young man when he was dressed going to a wedding. You know what I mean? So he was dressed really well. Even if he was a metrosexual, I agree, it is a good thing because he really cares about his appearance. She got me miffed a bit because I wasn't even looking really at his clothes. I was talking to her about the way he interacted with all of us & his personality. So we noticed different things about him. I guess I'm not 20 like her huh? But still even when I was 20 I wouldn't have noticed that.
I will be starting bible study back up again soon the women there are so wounderful I will ask them to keep Jenny in prayer too,:)

Marina - I think we were writing to each other at the same time. I was in your comment section on your blog. LOL!. Great minds think alike.
Thank you for the prayers for Jenny in advance with your Bible study. They are so welcomed and appreciated. :)
