Oh my dear. I am sure I have complained about Mother Nature before! With "colds" its a gamble whether it’s bacterial or viral…. the bacterial is probably responsible for pneumonia so we hack and cough our way into history like Hillary Clinton. Bacterial is hard to shake, and we need the help of modern medicine… and a lot of fluids and bed rest. bah! The second type of cold, viral, is just a wait and wait kind of cold. and hence the "let nature take its course" dictate. I think I have both. Through a miracle I was holding a place in church that our priest told me to hold. "Stand here and hold this marker," he said on September 11. "The children will sit here." "cough, cough, OK I said. Up walks our family doctor to hold the other end of the rope and unashamedly I said, "I was going to see you on Monday!" He evaluated me there in the aisle and said he would call in a prescription… Is that a God incidence? Thank you Jesus. So I’m fighting with a modern day drug called Z Pac. Let’s see if I can beat this "summer cold." Actually I got it by living too well! We entertained two families from Italy and England and 4 children and swimming and fun and then a big cruise with millions of children and boom! the germs I normally fight off or don’t encounter… got me. So… to all of us weaklings (oh? is that only me?) I say, get plenty of rest and drink a lot of fluids!
We are finally ready (or so the Mazda dealer says so) to plan our trip to San Antonio… the Mazda is supposed to be ready with new junkyard gas tank (can’t find a new one for Mazda built in 2009)… on Friday. Hope Mazda is ready and you will hear from me "from the road." I’ve got a few quirky places, things and events planned for Chuck who only gets… "turn right up there" or "turn left over there" directions and then, we have to turn around or search a little for the right place! Lots of blessings and happiness to you! From the lake house in Miami I wish you health! God bless you.
