Our second son, a nurse at a hospital
in Dallas, is a tall, strong, healthy man.
He goes to spin classes twice a week, does his own landscaping and
gardening, rode in the Hotter Than Hell 100 bike race a couple of years back,
and had a heart attack Monday evening.
It happens! It has a lot to do
with genetics (his grandfather, father, mother and two sisters) and lifestyle. It also has something to do with the luck of
the draw. Thankfully he is well and
healthy today!! After surgery to insert
a stent in an artery he will be good as new.
Better I hope. All of your
prayers and healing thoughts will also speed recovery!
Last weekend I went to the Farmers’
Market and it was wonderful!! Have you
ever noticed how good everything smells?
I just wanted to bury my face in the veggies and breathe deeply, but I
would probably be sneezing gnats and pollen for a week. And the cheese!! I love big blocks of cheese. So now our fridge is filled to overflowing
with carrots, tomatoes, field greens, broccoli, leeks, peaches and lots
more—along with the best cherries I’ve had all summer. I am a big cherry eater! I eat them every day when I can get
them. What a great weekend!!
I also found some beautiful placemats
rolled with a big ribbon for $3.99. We
needed new placemats so I grabbed a couple and was surprised when I got home
and opened them. One side of each mat
had not been hemmed. I can only assume
that to get them hemmed you have to pay $5.99.
I made a quick hemming job and used the black and white set with a red
tablecloth at dinner. Why does food
always taste better when the table is pretty? (And the produce is fresh).
I was surprised yesterday as I was
driving home. I pulled out my camera and
took a picture of some beautiful, puffy clouds through my front
windshield. Later as I was downloading
the photos, I realized that the car in front of mine was a Tesla. The license plate was TE5LA. It’s an odd little car and I have to ask
myself, did we need another odd looking little car? That was unexpected!
