From times gone by of my life.

 

Our activity director, Brenda, at the  St. Augustine FL nursing home before it was renovated. The residents could sit on the porch and look over the Inland Waterway, sometimes seeing boats go by, and many birds.

I worked as a counselor with Lutheran Social Services, visiting nursing homes in St. Augustine, Orange Park and Jacksonville FL.  Another counselor, Anna stands behind some residents.

This photo shows one of my favorite clients, Ruth, in the red. She was a retired original member of the NY Radio City Rockets. you just never knew who you'd meet in FL nursing homes!

My youngest son and I lived on the corner of US Highway A1A. We sat by it waiting for the Olympic torch to go by one year (before 2001). Sorry, don't have a photo of the parade and the runner.

The Atlantic Ocean hits the beach gently where often you can drive directly on it. That day the sand was too soft unless you had 4 wheel drive. These beach access drives were further south than where we lived.

We had the downstairs apartment in this blue house. The parking lot didn't exist when we lived there, just a grassy lot with sand spurs. The Sunset Grille was across A1A  kitty-corner from us. It attracted the loud crowd often, including motorcyclists from all over for Bike Week each year.

The end of our street was the Atlantic Ocean, down a sea wall with some steps. The Hampton Inn was built off to the right of this photo while we lived there.

My little Toyota parked at High Falls State Park in Georgia, where I would stop to refresh as I drove from FL to visit my Atlanta/Norcross family.

 High Falls, GA. I've always loved waterfalls.

 Here I visited my son, Russ and wife when they lived in  Norcross GA, where all three of their daughters were born.

Update on health *carried over from yesterday.

Cardio people called to say my MRI taken Friday (rather stressful) says my heart is normal.

Whew!

Pulmonologist called and said cut the steroids in half, and stop taking the antibiotic. And schedule a chest X-ray. 

Sigh…I did have a lot of coughing yesterday, so who knows what’s happening. The Dr. said she heard wheezing still in my chest. But I’m not feverish nor have colorful sputum (I know, you really wanted to know that!)

And friends are stepping up to drive me places when/where I need to go.
