Stoma Stinging

Well, I'm going to the wound care department over at Mission on Friday (first appt I could get) to see if they can help me with the skin deterioration around my stoma.  It is so painful!

I will have the dentist tomorrow and Dr. Ahearn on Thursday.  I am really into the health care system of America now.

In between doctors' visits, we are going over to the Hop to try their ice cream -- a benefit for Animal Compassion Network at 6 p.m.  Be there or be square.

We'll be fencing our first dog of our season, Tiger, on July 17th.  We have all the new players lined up and we hope it goes well.  I am sure it will.

Patrick and I are both on a diet.  We ate so much while our guests were here.  I gained 6 pounds in a week!  Too much cake! We'll go light on the Ice Cream!

Missing Florida today-- some guy at Ingles said it was supposed to snow today.  Well, he was joking around, but I almost believed him!  HA!

Trying to get raffle prizes for our booth at Bele Chere.  We'll see.  Our friends, Jim and Linda, gave us a great one -- two nights at their inn!!!!!!

We're also going down to Flat Rock on Saturday to see a play -- one of the Tuna series -- I don't know which one.  Patrick loves these guys who are hillbilly-like characters -- only two of them changing character every few minutes.  It is very funny.

Over the weekend we visited with AND bought a paining (print) by Jeff Pittman.  He is very good and perhaps he will give me a print to raffle off?  We met several other wonderful artists in the River District.  We also had lunch at the new White Duck Taco Cafe.  Delicious and the portions are small ($3.95).  Just my size.  Mike, at the Farmer's Market, was glad to see us as we were to see him.  We may be going back to the market if I find the right volunteer to set up and tear down. . we could alternate with The Humane Society who is only there alternating Saturdays.  They were able to adopt out 16 kittens last week!  Very good!

All of for now. . .
