After I got home from Pop’s yesterday, I realized just how bad I felt. And, the later it got…the worse I felt. My throat hurt, my ears hurt, my head hurt…well…EVERYTHING I had hurt!

I was up all night…and went to the ‘doc in a box’ as soon as they opened this morning. I have strep throat, I have an ear infection, and am about an inch away from pneumonia. They loaded me up with meds…and, now all I want to do is sleep. And, take my pain meds…my ears are killing me. Joy and I have been working at Pop’s helping him get things straightened out. So, this leaves it all to Joy. She never complains, though…but, I feel terrible for not being able to help.

When I called her this morning, she told me to be sure to stop and get some chicken noodle soup before I went home…:)

I am so behind on my blog reading and commenting…please know I’ll get around to it ASAP. I have also heard from several new friends lately…and some folks I knew that I didn’t even know I knew! I appreciate your continuing kind comments, and uplifting prayers as my family tries to cope with missing our most important member.
Stay well!

The newspaper report on yesterday’s post showed Berny sitting atop a can of Spam.
That is NOT my can of Spam. I did not use my hard earned money to buy it! In fact, I don’t think I have ever been hungry enough to eat it willingly. This belongs to one of the male members of the family. You know, food to take on a fishing trip. However, I thought that as long as a bear was in my pantry…I might as well get rid of the stuff that I DIDN’T like!

I am not really sure exactly what Spam is….but I think it is similar to the ‘mystery meat’ they used to serve us in school! ***answer will follow***

I promise to NEVER serve Spam for lunch if you should visit my house!

***And, just in case you were wondering…here is a list of ingredients…
ham, pork, sugar, salt, water, potato starch and a hint of sodium nitrate to help keep its color. The pork is mostly pork shoulder. SPAM was first invented as a way to use this underutilized part of the cow, ham was a later addition.***
