OUR BRIDGES!

As the Tennessee River runs through the middle of our town, the title picture is the 4 bridges that cross that river.  One is a walking bridge now, but the other three are auto friendly.  This town is built around the river and surrounded by mountains.

Good Monday morning, and here's hoping you have a wonderful day and week ahead.

The first part of our week is going to be busy with doctor appointments.  Today, we go to have Jim's Coumadin level checked with a PT (prothrombin time - blood test for clotting time).  Then tomorrow we have two appointments - one at the pain clinic and the other with the primary care doc.  The physical therapist is going to wait and come on Wed., Thurs. and Fri.  He believes that Jim is getting somewhat stronger and I do too.

He (Jim, not the therapist, lol) went to church with me last night and not in the wheelchair, but using the walker.  I was shocked, but of course pleased, that he, one, wanted to go, and two, was able to make it with just using the walker.  He hasn't wanted to do anything for so long now, it was a happy thing.   God is so good.  He surprises us at times, and I am thankful to Him for any little gift.

The rest of the week remains to be seen, but I do know that the rain is slowing down and the percentage that is predicted is much lower, Praise the Lord!  There is a big field across the street from our house, and it looks like a lake right now, so hopefully it will begin to recede this week.

About the only thing really liking this rain is my one and only hanging basket on the front porch.  It is blooming it's little heart out!  (Southernism!)

I will leave you now with a smile............THE JOYS OF WOMANHOOD!

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst, for they are sticking to their diets. 

       

      Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, 

but eventually you find a hairstylist you like. 

       

      You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair 

that you once got from a roller coaster. 

       

      Time may be a great healer, but it's also a lousy beautician. 

       

      Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone. 

       

      I don't mind the rat race, but I could do with a little more cheese. 

       

      Age is important only if you're cheese or wine. 

       

      The only time a woman wishes she were a year older is when she is expecting a baby. 

       

      Freedom of the press means no-iron clothes.
