Opening Up in Sweet Surrender

We are opening up in sweet surrender to the luminous love-light of the One (2x)
We are opening, we are opening (2x)

Updated by Father on Sunday when he got back from SA Methodist...Mom is now being obnoxious - an attempt to force them them to KICK her out? Saturday afternoon a nurse came in to tell her she was getting an MRI @ 4 PM; she says "I'm NOT having an MRI w/o Xanax, so they bring her one @ 3:55pm (!?!) & then wait until 8pm to take her down for it.......THAT didn't work, of course... Mother is not patient and sitting there WAITING 4 hours just made it worse.
One of the doc's associates appeared Sunday morning and proceeded to chastise her about the MRI; she explains what went on, he says "OK, then we'll do a CT Scan instead"Finally, she just flat out asks "Why do I NEED an MRI or a CT Scan?" He says "Of your head, because you passed out." Ummm...let's go back to the beginning y'all... She did NOT "pass out".... she stood up and couldn't breathe... so she got dizzy & fell.

So they back up... order another chest x-ray, except THIS ONE is downstairs! She says "What happened to your portable x-ray machines?" no avail.....no idea...until- as they're trundling her down the hall in a wheelchair- the doc passes them in the hall and wants to know where they are taking his patient...the little candystriper informs him that my Mom is going downstairs to X-ray. Doc says "Take her back to her bed & get the portable x-ray, you twit!" So yeah, Mom is getting a tad bit impatient and is READY to come home... at leat mentally. Physically she has been disconnected from everything but the little nasal oxygen hose. For her sake (and sake of nurses) am hoping she gets to come home Tuesday... then I will go visit and see how I can be of assistance to them both... Father is concerned I may be a tad too ebullient (ebullient adj. Zestfully enthusiastic. Bubbling.) for mom.. LOL So she is weak, but feisty...stay tuned.

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
