Happy 4th!

Time has been flying by (as usual) and it's been a while since I've written. Many postings have rattled through my head but haven't made it to the screen!

It's hot and muggy here in Virginia. This morning we had some smoke and smell from the North Carolina fires again. I wish they would get enough rain to help the fire fighters get those fires put out.

Since my last post, Golfer and I had the crown molding put in the office and bedroom. Then we had Jeff, the excellent painter we hired before, come and paint the molding as well as the rest of the trim work in the office and the dining room. It looks great and I was hoping to post a picture of the crown molding, but am having issues with my Kodak program at this time. Perhaps in the near future.

I've been sort of busy this past week getting ready for surgery again. I went to see my ortho doc about some leg pain last week, thinking I had just overdone things working in the yard and doing housework. I thought he'd tell me I needed to rest and take a Motrin or something. But, no. After the usual x-rays, he told me I needed surgery to re-do my new knee. The replacement part that sits on top of the tibia is not adhering to the bone. So here we go again. I was not a happy camper and was in "why me" mode for about twenty-four hours. Then I moved on and am now just annoyed and anxious to get it done. He says this is not the result of anything I have done, it just happens sometimes. Surgery is next week. The rehab will be the same as the first time. Wish us all luck, please.

Stay safe!
