First Stop: Granddaughters!


























By the time you read this, I will have read bedtime stories to my two Maine*Granddaughters
and feasted upon their hugs and smiles! Yayyy! Today I drive from their house up to Seal Cove.
The route is convoluted and I am excellent at getting lost. So send me some Traveling Mercies, please! Thanks! :-)

  1. Good morning, Deaniacs! You *know* who's first! Let's hear it for Howard!!!

    Overcast but bright. The view from my window, pure gold. Cool and sweet.

    Left leg looking much better this morning, right leg back to absolute normal.

    Traveling mercies for our traveling friend. (Map mercies?)

  2. Irony: Achalasia ~~ disease that increases the Lower Esophageal Sphincter pressure, constricting passage of food/liquid into the stomach. . . . Look at what *relaxes* it. . . .

    Table 13-1
    Foods, medications, and hormones that influence resting LES pressure

    ... Resting LES pressure

    Decreased pressure
    Foods/etc.

  3. I have been SO aware of wanting/needing MORE tomatoes! And in the last shopping trip before the hospital, there was a bag of miniature peppermint patties. . . . Not much of a drinker, I got Scotty to leave his bottle of wine for me, and it's already gone. . . .

    Sort of like the yen all summer for bananas as my potassium was dropping unbeknownst to me.

    Our own bodies would seem to be wonderful doctors, if we could only learn to listen to them. . . .

  4. Thanks, puddle! ♥

    I have just arrived at the Visitor's Center on Mt. Desert Island.
    20 min to destination.

    Grueling drive on little sleep in heavy rain.
    But I'm here! Gotta go as light fades early here!

    Into the Land of noncommunicado go I.
    Take care all! XOXOXXX

  5. Very good friend of mine's family has a summer camp on Mt. Desert Island. Many summers' correspondence from there. Glad you're in such a lovely space. Enjoy.

  6. Cat, edited your flower arrangement today (discarding the dead ones), still has several freesia, many mums, the ferns and autumn leaves, and looks and smells lovely still. The gift that keeps on giving.
