From A Wide Spot In The Road

A new chapter going down. Nurse coming to organize and handle my medication, as though some of us are not up to doiung this chore
for ourselves. Like giving up driving, more loss of control, otherwise I might say 'get oiutta town before i sic the dog on you'.
 
Been looking for some new music. Didn't necessarily find any music I can get next to but did find someone I like what he's doing.
He's a Texas rancher down in the Hill Country. He makes music and I like some of his work. Eric Clapton said he makes a guiter flo.
Appears to me this Gary Clark, Jr. writes some history
 

Aww drifter! I know it's difficult. Who hired the nurse? Just keep in mind that even though you are losing more and more control that people are only trying to take care of you. {{Hugs}}

Gary Clark is the musician we need to check out?
 
She's a VA nurse. I'm on what the VA calls "Home Based Care," where the nurse comes to you when you get to where you can't get to the Va,
hospital or clinic. I quit going to my lung doctor about three years ago.He told me there was nothing more he could do for me, that I was too faar gone and all he could do is give me medications and palative care. And about all he did every six months was pat me on the head or shoulder and say 'good puppy.' So I told my Nurse Practioner I was not going to the VA any more. If I couldn't be treated at home, then let it go.

I saw Clark, Jr. on Sunday Morning, didn't know who he was and looked him up. He's got some good stuff and some that's not up my

I don't know whether this is appropriate or relevant. I make what's called Navajo bread- white flour , baking powder and a little salt . Rolled out quite thin and fried for a short while in olive oil. Tastes good but it's like a poppadom in texture - not whole wheat :(

I'll bet it is good. And I guess anything is appropriuate you have to say on this thread. So thanks for your comment. If I could cook I'd try the bread.

Hey @RadishRose, not too bad. Hope you're both doing and feeling good these days.
I pace myself to keep everything on an even keel and so far, so good. Thanks for asking.
 
I am well thanks, Drifter. I''m SO glad to know you're doing ok, too.

Have you taken any new pics lately? It' been so hot, I bet not.

Stay safe, and let us know what you're up to more often if possible. 🌹
 
Grandson and his family came for a visit from Austin area. He put up lights on my patio
and a large mullti-speed fan. The lights change from regular clear lights to multi-colored.
Perfect for our area. So now when I push the button or flip the switch, I'll say or think,
let there be light and it will be so.

Today after they left to go home, I got this email:

"thank you for being a father-figure, steady influence, loving encourager and ultimately... my hero.
you and big have left an eternal mark on my life... I love you both so much!"

Makes me feel good to know that somewhere in my life I may have done some good.
 
Hey, @MarciKS, glad you're doing okay. How's the job coming along. I've been so laid back in my retirement I forget
there are people still working for a living. I like your signature, Here in the darkness I know myself... 🖤 It has an air of
mystery about it. Stay well.

What a wonderful grandson you have! No doubt you deserve him.

So far things are ok. COVID cases are rising here & we've had 3 on quarantine. One whose whole family has it now. So far staying safe.

And thankyou. That sig line is a lyric in a song from my favorite band Evanescence. I feel I can relate to it.
 
I have heard men say, 'I want my country back.'
Sorry, the country you had is gone. I look back
ward, I look forward, I look into my crystal ball.
What do I see? A world changed. Your world
doesn't exist anymore. It has forever changed.
 
It is not perfect but i can't help but like this.

Two of my favorite subjects hanging out together.

They live on the window sill above the kitchen sink. Occasionally I get them down, take them to
my studio where my camera waits, and while the cleaning lady works on the house, I spend
time with these dried pedals.
