Sitting at Ed’s hospital bedside, holding his hand while he naps. Yes, he’s back in the hospital: minor complication after his gallbladder surgery.

The thing is, he won’t be able to return home to live independently. His daughter is working out to have him moved to a care facility near her for rehab (physical therapy, etc). He asked my thoughts on this plans; I told him it’s in his best interest medically but I would miss him terribly. Assured him I would visit as often as possible.

He has mixed feelings, of course, but realizes—at least for now— it’s the best plan.

Nope. There are three in the metro area but none near me. What am I missing besides the good smells?

Nothing..unless you're heavily in Bath Bombs... I'm not a lush shop fan... over priced highly perfumed soaps etc.. but it's lovely catching the aroma for a few seconds when you walk past the store

Given his age and other factors, it was not unexpected for this to happen, though unwelcome, of course 😞

We hope with physical therapy and once the drain that had to be inserted can come out, he could be independent again. Will just have to take it one day/week at a time

Sorry you're dealing with the CS. 🤗
 
This isn't Mississippi ... no Billie Joe MacAllister, Tallahatchie Bridge or Choctaw Ridge
... but ...
In Lower Alabama we have me and Mason at the Choctawhatchee Bridge
Just outside the small rural community of Clayhatchee, here in Coffee County
Had the whole sandbar to ourselves this Thursday afternoon
Under the bridge is kinda spooky though

Mason is almost 12yrs old now and not as adventurous as he once was ... nor I

@Naturally Your river is so brown because of the mud in the water? What is the brown blob at the top of last photo? Swamp?

PS you and Mason both look very fit, as they say, for your age. That’s meant as a compliment to both of you.

Thanks Jules 🤗 ... Yep, that's swamp. More swamp in the lower right.
The whole area is low bottom.
Brown because it's a muddy river. And just below the top soil around here is a lot of sandy clay.
Eons ago, it was all at the bottom of an ocean or shallow sea as the case may be.

Shucks. Already hit a brick wall. Life is too dependent on others to fulfill their obligations, and the disappointment and frustration that ensues when they don't.

Should I find something else to do today? I'd better. OR. How to love oneself despite it all? Tall order. Dependency. I'd better read that thread on it.

I hate days like that! I think we need to eat some ice cream! 🍧🍦🍨 Maybe that will help!

I'm not sure who Ed is, but I wish him a speedy recovery!
 
I was going through some photos, and I came across this one of a bat that Dio took down from our flag pole, a few years ago. It's a picture of a picture, so it's a little fuzzy.....

I also ran across a picture of a Luna moth. We don't see them too often, but they are around. This is one of the biggest ones that we've had. You can get an idea of it's size by the hand that is also in the picture.....

I went to look at that mobile again that I had put an offer on. She has it listed for less than what I offered. My agent is out of town so the listing agent, who is in the same office met me. She stated to get an application for the park. So I went to the office and some twit who is certainly not 55+ told me they only allow ONE PET. I said I have two strictly indoor cats. No, only one. I called my agent. She said she would call the company that manages the park but I haven't heard back. It's always something. This is probably the least nice park in town as they have some travel trailers in there. And they pull this policy.

just tell them you have one cat.. if they're indoor cats they'll never know you have 2...

@Remy, Really it’s not worth chancing it. There’ll be somebody who spots two and they’ll be reporting it. And you may want a third cat at some point.

Their rules may not have been explained to you properly in the beginning or they changed them.

If this mobile hasn’t sold in all this time, I’d be very, very leery.
 
Welp. The weathernerds finally came through. Sort of. They predicted rain and storms north and west of us, but we actually got rain and storms, too. We weren't included in the rain forecast. Figures. But I'm grateful for the rain anyway. Won't have to water tomorrow, maybe not even Saturday if it rains for another hour or so.

And our temp has fallen to a glorious 73. Woohoo.
