Cattails and Something to Ponder
Browning cattails always remind me of Fall. ~~~ Something to Ponder ~~~
Bluegrass – The Saturday Before I Went to the Hospital
~~~ Saturday, September 21 ~~~ This is a day of photos before my hospital visit interrupted our lives. We thoroughly enjoyed lunch and an afternoon of listening to some family bluegrass at our niece and nephew’s (Crystal and Jakey) place. Cerwin’s brother Elvin and cousin Raymond. We especially enjoyed their picking and singing. They have […]

Visitors and Thursday Happenings
Thursday, October 3 I tried to stretch my strength by walking to the mailbox to mail a birthday card. Jana was our first visitor – along with our favorite donuts. Cerwin had creme-filled, mine was glazed and Jana had the chocolate covered one. We had a great time visiting for a few hours and catching […]
Visitors
Wednesday, October 2 One of the benefits of getting sick is getting calls, messages and visitors. Jared and Yeira called earlier in the week, asking if they could visit and bring ice cream from Fox Meadows. Of course I said, yes. Then I said, “Why don’t we make it for your 2024 birthday supper – […]
It Looks Like Fall in Our Backyard
As long as the earth continues, there will always be a time for planting and a time for harvest. There will always be cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night on earth. Genesis 8:22 Easy-to-Read Version
Health Update – Something to Ponder
~~~ Tuesday, October 1 ~~~ After this, I won’t have any reason to keep updating my recovery from pneumonia until the 29th when I go to the pulmonary doctor. That is when I expect to learn if the medication has cleared up my right lungsor if “whatever” is behind the pneumonia is an infection or […]
Hospital Update. I’m Home!
Monday, September 30 This morning, I was trying to think of something to use for today’s post, so took a picture of the board in my room. As you can see, it says I am independent. That happened yesterday afternoon, and means I no longer needed assistance to get out of bed and go to […]
Hospital Update – Sunday, September 29
When our youngest daughter, Deb was here today with her friends Leslie and Bernae, plus Bernae’s service dog Misty, she took a full picture of the room, which I liked for this evening’s post. Cerwin is on the reclining chair next to my bed, just like at home, but at home our seating positions are […]
Our Trip Home and a Hospital Visit
Tuesday, September 18 to Saturday, September 28 Our two-day trip home from northern Maine was fairly uneventful. We left the Blueberry Patch Hotel on Tuesday morning, stopped at Dysart’s Restaurant and Truck Stop in Bangor, Maine, for fuel and a bathroom break. Cerwin still had these two pictures in his cell phone from Dysart’s from […]
Visiting the Summer Home of Franklin D and Eleanor Roosevelt on Campobello Island
~~~ Monday, September 16 ~~~ This was an interesting stop on the Island. It is located in Canada, but is part of the US National Park Service. Mark and Diane entering the information and gift shop. The grounds were well-kept with beautiful flowers. There are several cottages on the property, but not owned by FDR […]
Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada
~~~ Monday, September 16 ~~~ Campobello was a short drive from Lubec, Maine, into Canada. From Maine, you travel the Franklin Delno Bridge, which is just over 1/2 mile long. If you go to Campobello from Canada, you need to travel by ferry. We saw a few salmon farms as we approached our breakfast location. […]

Visiting West Quoddy Head to Be One of the First People in the USA to Watch the Sun Rise
~~~ Monday, September 16 ~~~ West Quoddy Head, Lubec, Maine, is the easternmost point in the contiguous USA. I googled “Who first saw the sunrise on September 16, 2024.” This was my answer. The first place in the USA to see the sunrise would be in the easternmost parts of Maine, particularly around the town […]
