Good morning,
I haven't been with you for a while now. Lots of things have happened. I have finished both paintings now and am now painting The Tree House. This is the tree house at Aunt Bobbie's. There are lots of good stories connected to this tree house. I am sorry if my typing is not very good this morning but I am in a lot Pain this morning. It is so bad that my pain medication will not touch it. If it doesn't get better soon I am going back to bed. Betsy is making the coffee this morning and that is always my job. I get up before she does and I make the coffee and sometimes take her a cup in bed. It is ready now and she is getting me a cup so that I don't have to get up and walk.
Dawn and Jeff came three weekends ago and we enjoyed their stay as always. They had to leave early Sun. to take Reilly to camp. We went over there last weekend. Dawn's Birthday was June 24 so we celebrated her birthday. We went to eat at Miller's Country Store in Christiana, TN, where Dawn & Jeff live. It is an old general store that has been turned into a restaurant and now people drive from Nashville and around other places even further away. They served a varied menu and had a three piece Blue Grass/Country Music Band playing. It was true Tennessee Country. We had a ball. The band played a Blue Grass version of happy birthday to Dawn.
I think I will go over to the life story entry now and add a bit more to it. Take care. OH yes, Dawn and Jeff are coming Wednesday Night and staying at Stony Point. For those of you that don't know that is the name of the Cabin on Lake Ocoee. We share the Cabin with Betsy's two sisters. We have the cabin about 7 or 8 weeks from spring to fall. We stay in the early spring and fall. I just can't stand the heat in July & August. This hot weather is rough on us fat boys. My pain is getting better now but it never goes away. I have been taking steroids for 20+ years and they have destroyed the disc in by back. I am having a procedure done in two weeks on the nerves on the left side. The Dr. Uses a Large needle that has a special tip that is connected to RF energy. He probes around until he hits a nerve and based on the effect of pressing on the nerve he identifies the source of the pain. He then turns on the RF energy burning the nerve ending. I am not asleep because I have to talk to him to I identify the correct nerve. That 15 seconds is very painful, Its like pain you can not imagine. It is still painful for a couple of weeks while it heals but then my pain is better. The Procedure is considered experimental by most insurances companies and we have to fight with BCBST and Medicare ever time we do it or about any thing else. Don't get me started on Insurance Companies or Drug Companies they run our health care system such as it is. I don't need to go there either. I am leaving now will be back as soon as I find a spot of time. My spell check is not working and you all know I can't spell. (I'll ask Betsy to proofread this.)
Take Care and My Love to All of You.
