Long Day

Today we went to Vera's brother Clifford's Funeral. Mik, Michelle and James came up and joined us. They had a really nice service on a beautiful day. We visited with cousins and relatives we seldom get to see. Afterwards Vera stopped by the hospital to visit her sister who had a skin graft. My knee was quite swollen by then and I was content to sit in the Blazer and elevate it. After Vera came back, we decided to take the slow way home on Jackson Hwy and relax. There is lots to see when you are cruising along at 40 MPH.


This place has more junk around it. I think they sell it.

Then there are the classic red barns, fields with cows and horses.

The Jackson log cabin is always interesting to look at.

Of course as we came by the Toledo Airport I had to take a picture of the beacon tower.

There are lots of 50's style houses along this route that look like they will last forever. By the time we got home we were relaxed and ready to settle down for the evening.

Hope you had a chance to enjoy the sunshine today.

Doctor Appointment

I went in for my first checkup today. Things went great, they X-rayed it and then the doctor checked me over. He was real happy that I can straighten my leg completely. He said that is very important to walking with no limp. He showed me some exercises for a stiff tendon. Now to work on getting full extension. I have about 100 degrees in the morning, but it stiffens up a little as the day goes on. He showed us the X-rays and explained how everything was installed. I had my camera and forgot all about it as the X-rays would have been interesting to put on here. Afterwards, we had lunch at the Country Village, did a little shopping and headed home. After all the activity my knee had swelled so I put ice on it and promptly fell asleep for a nice nap. I did a little work in the shop this afternoon. We got some bad news this evening, Vera's brother Clifford passed away this morning. Nice guy, I always enjoyed talking to him.

Hope you had a chance to enjoy the nice day.
