In corridors or waiting rooms of a VA hospital … can be a long wait filled with concern.
Two weeks ow waiting for eye surgery in one eye and shots in the other. Now, it will be two weeks of waiting in my recovery. The blog will not be a priority during this time. I have been having difficulty for a while now, and thus the typos. You may have to point them out to me.
I am going to learn to water color, (Abstracts anyone?) because…why not?
Take more photographs and look for the simple, easy, composition shots, like above.
Lady as my guide dog in training, so she can go everywhere with me!
And I will learn to appreciate audio books, even with my hearing problems.
I will stay positive that I will be able to get through that stack of books next to my bed, eventually, but tol start, I ordered the one I was reading before in an audio book.

Wishing you a restful recovery! All the best to you.

Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers
Take care Kate, and a well deserved rest to gain sight and sound (predicted rain this week) fingers crossed!
I was amazed at how well I could see after the eye surgery! It was a revelation. Hang in there. It is totally worth it. I get shots in my right eye every 7 weeks now for macular degeneration and it does not even hurt with their numbing process. Prayers for you for all you have to do.
the very best of luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9vHwCIaSwM

You know how fast two weeks passes (at our age)!
If you e-mail me a USPS address, I'll send you a vintage (1950) copy of a booklet by a Master Artist friend of our family (Charles X. Carlson) titled Simplified Water Color Painting (7" x 5"/32 pages). He and my Dad went watercolor painting every Sunday for about 5 decades- they were both pretty good. My Dad had a bunch of copies in his estate.
Just be relaxed and be thankful. Many people care about you.
If Your loving and faithful audience offers thoughts and blessings and gratitude for all you have done for us, may the guiding spirit of our world send you courage, patience and healing.
My love and prayers for you, Kate.
Sending good thoughts. So appreciate you keeping us all up-to-date when there are catastrophes … and entertained with interesting items when there are not.
