Stop, Off With Her Head

What was I thinking? Maybe it was the heat of the day or the heat of the moment. Maybe my mind was far away in the celestial heavens. I know, I was thinking of Julie on her way to New Delhi and towards her quest of enlightenment. What ever the cause, yesterday's slip was made unintentionally in my joy of being a mother.

Fall continues to march on here in western Nebraska with days that reach 86 degrees and nights that dip only in the 40 or 50's. What's going on? Don't get me wrong, I love the warm weather but hopefully we will get some moisture soon. Even the beat harvest has been but on hold due to the unseasonable warm weather and fear of spoiled sugar beats.

I saw my orthopedic doc the other day and he had x rays taken of my sore right knee. As I figured, there is moderate arthritic damage but bone isn't on bone as of yet. So he injected my knee with steroids and it has helped some but there is still that darn nagging spot.

Brian had a little set back in his recovery over the weekend but was feeling better yesterday. I pray every day that he will get stronger and even put on some weight, or at least maintain it. He plays an essential part in this family and each day is another gift. Get well wishes also go out to Andrea who needs our prayers for a speedy recovery!
