Randomness

It's Random 5 Friday over at Nancy's A Rural Journal.  Well as usual I am a day late and a dollar short. Here are my random 5.


One:  Remember the sights of Spring I posted about 2 weeks ago.  Well they are all covered with that white four letter word again.

Two:  The only signs of Spring now are the flowers I bought for myself.

Three:  It was 3 weeks ago that I came down with this virus, cold, crud, whatever it is.  I still have it but it is much better since I got some antibiotics from my doctor.  It really zapped my energy and I have not felt like doing a darn thing for those 3 weeks.

Four:  I told you I would let you know about the results of my medical tests.  Well they are inconclusive.  I have spots on my lungs that we thought was my thyroid cancer spreading to them.  But the tests didn't show that it was thyroid cancer so now we don't know what it is.  Is it an infection or another type of cancer?  My doctor is sending me to an oncologist at Mayo Clinic.  I have an appointment set up for the middle of April.

Five:  I read Nora Robert's book "The Next Always" while laying on the couch these last weeks.  It is book one in the "Inn Boonsboro Triolgy".  It was nothing too exciting but I am going to read book two, "The Last Boyfriend".  I just picked it up from the library so you know what I'll be doing this weekend.  These old eyes are loving the large print books.

Head on over to A Rural Journal to see what other random things are happening in Blogland.

Thanks for all you thoughts, prayers, and kind comments on my last post.  Thanks to my new followers too.

See you again soon!

5 Facts about what I've been doing.

Hi everyone!  I just couldn't go a whole month without posting and visiting you.  Well I have been visiting some but not commenting.  I hope you are all having a wonderful summer.  It is going by way too fast.  Here's what I've been up to.

1.  Trip to Duluth to the Tall Ship Festival.

Under the Lift Bridge

2. Two nights at the Poplar Creek B&B on the Gun Flint Trail in Superior National Forest in Northern MN.  Mother's Day gift from my girls.

Breakfast first course.  Fresh fruit with maple flavored yogurt.  Yum

3.  Since I got back I've done a little weeding in this section of my garden and planted some grasses.  I need to get some perennials to plant in front of the grass.

4)  Have worked at getting a few things ready for my space at Ade's Attic.

5.  I've been reading the book Rigged for Murder by Jenifer LeClair.  She is a Minnesota native now living in Maine.  She was at the Tall Ship Festival selling her book.  A good murder mystery aboard a large sail boat.

I'll be joining Nancy at A Rural Journal for Random 5 Friday.  Why not stop by and see what random facts other folks are sharing,

I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll be back soon to visit you and show you many, many photos of my vacation.  Until then...
