Only 18 days left of Summer!!!
I love the Fall of the year going out and walking in the woods and taking pictures and coming home and making up some soup or chili and settling down with a nice cup of hot cocoa or coffee.
What is your favorite season and why??

Prayers for our friend Meg
PLEASE put NEWT in your prayers
I was checking out the St. Louis group that will be having their reunion the 12th of this month in St. Louis and I came across this that Newt posted. Please, put her in your thoughts and prayers. She is a DEAR FRIEND!!
St. Louis
As much as I hate to do this, I have to let all of you know that I will not be meeting you in St. Louis this year. I was hoping that there would still be a chance I could come so I waited until I was sure before I posted this. I have been diagnosed with a condition called histoplasmosis and here is the website which explains it all better than I can:

Two weeks ago I woke up with very little sight left in my left eye and since then have been running to eye doctors and specialists to figure out what was going on. I thought at first it was macular degneration as my mom is blind from that but. it wasn't that although its as serious as, if not more serious than macular.
I go for lazer surgery on Tuesday morning and the stuff they put into me intravenously is so strong that I have to cover myself completely, top to bottom to come home and then have to stay in the condo, no windows uncovered and no fluorescent lights and no computer for three days. After this surgery, I will then have an injection into my eye in October, November and December to continue to zap the fungus and infection. I can't therefore drive to Lee's and I can't fly because of pressure after the surgery.
I am very disappointed because I so wanted to see you all again but this has stopped me in my tracks. Right now I am hoping that they can stop the infection before it totally wipes out my sight and I am also hoping that I regain a little more vision in that left eye than I have now. If not, I can still manage with my glasses on so I can still drive and work which I need to do to support myself.
Again, wish I was going but its out of my hands.

Game is starting
Look what we did today it was GREAT!!
It was raining out and a perfect day to do some canning. We put up apples and they are SO GOOD!!! Jan (Goon) and I are having a ball and so are the hubbies too. Oh and the cake I made was so strange you make up the cake batter and put it in the pan then add apples and cinnamon and brown sugar over the top and then you pour a cup of BOILING HOT water over it and bake it. So this is the first time to do this so we will see.
