This morning began with going to Church. We left right after Communion because of my sciatica. Kneeling was impossible. We didn’t do much today, mostly I’d do one thing physical and then lie down or sit down with the heating pad on. The muscle rela…

Back in Florida

After several doctor’s appointments, John and I both are healthy and happy.We celebrated Lindy’s 4th birthday on the 29th. She certainly had a good time. She was so wound up, it was fun to be around her and see her so excited. I think she was more e…
