Becky and I have routine doctor visits today in Springfield and Rocky is going along to drive and to help us eat a good lunch. He has $20 worth of quarters he wants to spend….there’s a story behind that. I don’t think he will put a $20 dollar bill in the car wash place again….it spit out his change in quarters. He came home with them in a sack……..us old timers wake up in a new world every day. Laughing, laughing all the way.

Since you won’t be spending a lot of time reading my blog today, please remember Ellen Crush who has her hands full with a big battle she’s waging on cancer. Take a moment to stop by her site and let her know you’re thinking of her. She doesn’t ask for sympathy and isn’t a whiner.

Stay in touch, don’t run away…..she’s taking it on the chin and I think the least we can all do is be half as tough as she is. I’ve seen too many people hide when someone close to them is diagnosed with cancer. That is cowardly. Buck up and “be there” for them……and pray a lot.

For new readers who may not know how to get to Ellen’s site, just go to Brain Lint on my reader’s list……..she’ll be glad you stopped by.

Until tomorrow,
Essentially Esther
