A little news...


I received a message from our Spark People friend, April, aka (Morticiaaddams)  Her beloved husband Benny, passed away this past Wednesday.

I know we all wish her well and sunnier days ahead.

(((XOXO)))

    Yes, I was saddened to learn of Benny's death, too. He fought the battle bravely, and April was right by his side every step of the way. So sad.

    Hope all is well in your family.

 Things continue to improve in the house of OJ. My DH feels a better, although he can't explain how. He has a bit of pep, doesn't feel blah, and is interested in doing things. It's amazing how you improve when your heart gets it's own circulation going! This week is a light flurry of activity as we are going on one of our wandering vacations next week, doctor approved. Flying to the mid-west with our ever-present siblings, we will be hitting 5 states in a road trip to add to our respective maps. Once this trip is done, I've got 8 states to go, then I've done something in all 50 states! Our pinky-sworn requirement is that we've got to do something touristy in each state. I started this attempt by insisting on National or State parks, but sometimes they weren't accessible to our trip. I settled on something less lofty but interesting in each state. This trip we'll pass through a small park in Illinois to a Native American burial mound, one of many I...

 Things are looking up. Over 12 feet to be exact!  The biggest one is yellow and it's got about 6 flowers at the top. More pictures will follow as time goes by. The second tallest flowering plant is the dark reds and orange sunflower. I haven't taken a single picture that doesn't have bees. I'm very happy. Unfortunately after a week of rain and wind, the orange sunflower has leaned out over the fencing and I can now touch the flowers.  Speaking of rain, when it rains, it pours, or in this case, doesn't flow at all! We needed a sewer line replacement. DH is the job supervisor in black! The guys did a great job and were done in 5 hours. This is what was left.  The other casualty was my roses. Here they are in 2012. This guy turns 14 next month! Finally, another bit of plumbing was unclogged on Wednesday. My honey had a stent put into his heart in the "widow-maker" artery. He feels fine, but no different which may be a good thing. He's got a lot of new me...

 I've been absent for no other reasons than life happens. There seems to be so much to do when retired. My DH has had some other medical issues to deal with, and delt, they have been. Me, too. Nothing worthy of documentation, yet keeping us busy. I didn't post more about our vacation to the mid-west. I might pull out a photo or two before I sign off today. Last weekend we took a quick jaunt to the last of the East Coast states we hadn't visited, so Rhode Island is now off the table! We've nine states to go.  Custer State Park always delivers bison. You might recognize the guys in the background. A look into Badlands, Including my favorite big horn sheep. Outside of the Corn Palace. And finally, the Big Spoon with Cherry in Minneapolis.
