A Vist with Dr. Z

Well, it's official, I am now old! I woke up Saturday morning and my right elbow was really bothering me. It was worse on Sunday and then by Monday night I was in agony. Advil was not working. Waited until the doctor had hours this afternoon and then went in for the diagnosis. I have tendonitis, kind of like tennis elbow. Motrin, ice and an Ace bandage are the cure. The doctor thinks it may have been caused by a repetitive motion... crocheting!

I remember years ago when Dad had a similar ailment. He wore a thing on his elbow when bowling. I remember thinking it was just old age catching up with him. That was about twenty years ago. Yikes! I'm the same age now!

and Mom, if you're reading this tomorrow, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

They're Back!

I'm so excited. Dancing with the Stars is back! I don't yet have a favorite but I'm thinking it's going to be a woman this year. Former playmate Holly is really good and Denise Phillips definitely has potential. Although I have to say Ty Murray is one cute little cowboy!

I am now not available on Monday and Tuesday evenings between 8 and 10.

They're Gone!

It's taken almost two years but the trees that we no longer wanted are gone. Four long-needled pines and a cedar tree. Thanks to Rob King and Chadds Ford Tree Service our back yard now looks bigger and less cluttered. For years Frank has had problems with the cedar tree; it was too close to the house and the droppings clogged the rain gutters and stained the roof. The pine trees were choking out the lilac bush -- it was close to death but now will get plenty of light and may actually bloom this year!

When I came home tonight my kitchen seemed brighter. Seems as though that big old cedar tree was blocking lots of sunlight.

I can't wait to get all of those pine needles cleared and plant some nice bright forsythia bushes. The side of our yard will look so pretty now.
