My poor blog has been neglected lately. I’m spending all my time on FaceBook! Not that I don’t like to blog anymore, but all my friends are on FaceBook. Oh well… I’ll find my way back here somehow. Just like I’ll find the Best Buy on a lot of things this week. I need to go to Target as well because have some shoes I’d love to get for Summer and if I wait they will all be gone.
The weather here has been beautiful! Near 60 today! It’s so exciting to watch the Earth come back to life after Winter. With good Weather comes photo drives!

I just took 72 images off my camera. Yikes! The kidster helped with a few of those while we drove through Whiskey Hollow. This squirrel picture is one I was very excited about catching. I had just scared 5 squirrels from the bird feeders and they we moving about fast, but this one took a second and stopped to itch. Squirrels are always itching like this.. I wonder if they have fleas? They also hope about the woods… wonder if they can get ticks too?
I’ve been feeling a bit like I put some weight back on. I hope not, but I’m going to rearrange our living room so we can leave our treadmill unfolded and easier to use. I haven’t been on the treadmill since Christmas when we got the Wii and needed to move the treadmill so we could use the Wii easier. I gotta say though that one of these nordictrack audiostrider 990 pro would be a lot of fun in addition to the treadmill. Just turn the living room into an exercise room! lol
Dad’s Echo Cardiogram went very well today. His back was a bit sore and he had a little bit of a hard time laying down on the table, but once he was down the tech had him roll onto his side and the pain was gone. I’m guessing he’s still experiencing a little discomfort from the compression fracture in his spine from when he fell just before he went into the hospital. He’s doing super well!! He’s on fewer meds and there hasn’t been a single time since he’s been home that he’s mentioned the possibility of having Mesothelioma
For years he’s been mentioning it just because he used it on furnaces. His lungs are clear.
I’ve been playing with my new camera. Haven’t installed the software yet…. plan on doing that tonight. I really need total quiet to read (ADD maybe?) and i just haven’t had much of it since yesterday.
We’re out in the morning to take dad for an Echo Cardiogram. He had one or 2 done in the hospital but the Dr wants something new to compare with. Totally understandable! He’s doing so much better though he’s tired which is good. He wasn’t sleeping well for the past year or so and now he can sleep until 10 in the morning. He’s no longer talking about getting his knee replaced. It might be too much on his heart, but we’re on the lookout for some really good joint pain relief cream or ointment. I might do some research about comfrey. Dad mentioned several times his mother would dig up a root and soak it in alcohol as a rub. I’m thinking the root is comfrey as the its the only healing root I can think of. My friend makes a comfrey salve too that I might talk to her about. I grow comfrey so making something wouldn’t be out of my capabilities and I so want to get back into herbs.
