Yesterday, I was barely able to stand up erect for most of the morning. I dreaded waking this morning and experiencing the same. Wonder of wonders, I got up with very little back pain and was able to stand erect first thing. I don’t know if it was the medication kicking in or if it was something else. Let’s just say I’m very grateful!
I still did not do a complete walk this morning but it was more from stopping and talking to neighbors along the way. I got into two long conversations at different points along my walk and decided it was getting too hot and turned for home.
It’s been a fairly quiet Saturday. I cleaned the pool filter, adjusted chemicals to the pool, and then began my housecleaning and washing. I really don’t do much cleaning except vacuum the floor, do light dusting, clean the bathroom, and today I mopped the new wood floor. I typically do more than that on Saturdays but really, there is no need to get too involved with it until they finish construction in the kitchen. There’s dust everywhere – walls, books, shelves, and me. I could do a deep cleaning now but I would have to redo it in 6-8 weeks when the upper cabinets come in. As you might guess, the construction crew, scheduled for yesterday morning, never showed up.
For those of you who have Acorn TV, let me recommend Dr. Foster. It was recommended to me by Stephen, my cousin-in-law and I enjoyed the series. There are two seasons. Dr. Foster is a physician in a town out from London and you get lots of drama, sexual tension, and emotional roller coaster rides with this one. Try it out.
The Sun-Sentinel reported this morning that the number of cases in Florida continues to drop (but then a web site reported that the number of cases increased from yesterday). It’s gotten to where you cannot trust the data provided by the state, CDC Atlanta nor the FDA. How did we get to this point?

In Broward, there are 70,513 cases, with 366 new and 1, 175 dead. From what I learned on the telly, Mississippi has been relieved of its top spot in the country for per capita cases. Iowa now claims that dubious distinction. However, Mississippi is still number 2.
If you and I are friends on Facebook, you know that I have posted several photos of me during my days in the Coast Guard. That was at the urging of one of my shipmates. There are about 4 of us who maintain contact via Facebook. That got me to thinking about some of the other photos I have from my family. We are a well documented family with photos going back to the early 40’s. Cameras were still pretty rare back then – at least in Mississippi.
One particular photo caught my attention. It shows some people walking, and the tall figure in the photo is in military uniform and the other people are obviously not in military uniform. I didn’t think anything of it until I turned it over and read on the back, in my handwriting, that it was my Dad with Syngman Rhee, President of Korea. He was stationed in Korea during the Korean War and was a major with the Corps of Engineers. I can assure you I would not have put that on the back of the photo unless Dad specifically told me that was what the photo was.
I remember many years ago finding most of his WWII photos and Korean War photos and asking him to identify them for me. He never liked talking about either war but when prodded by me, he would talk. I didn’t do that too much because I quickly learned he often had nightmares after any of those conversations. It wasn’t fair to him.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
