You nurses sure have a tough job. Crazy hours and (sometimes) crazy patients and patient family members. Bless you!

That’s nice of you to say, Brad. With working in the ER, I think I see more of the unappreciative side than I ever have in nursing, due to the fact of wait times, people getting discharged when they feel they should have been admitted, not getting pain pills, and so on, but the times we do great things for people, that overshadows it all.

Hope the appointment goes well & you have a great day!

Thanks!! The appointment took forever. That’s pretty normal there though.

She gets to do PT for her back and leg now too. So more time at the hospital.

** TRAVEL ALERT **

The Crowns have a sad task this weekend - traveling to Florida for the funeral of our cousin who passed away this month. He was the one we went down annually to see.
But time passes and so do we all.
A volunteer countdowner will therefore be needed for three mornings, this Friday through Sunday.
No application will be rejected. (As long as it's first!)

I’m sorry for your loss, Crown. My prayers are with you and your family.

I just ordered my nieces baby shower gifts from all of us girls in the family. I'm having them delivered to her house b/c we got them big gifts that will be a pain to wrap & pain for them to haul back to Indiana!

Thornton Burgess! We had a good friend, an elderly gentleman who loved Burgess' books from childhood. After he passed away, he had two or three vintage sets of Burgess' books, comic strip panels of Peter Rabbit, plus Sandwich glass medallions of the characters and a photo of Burgess---we didn't know where he got it, but the Thornton Burgess Museum in Sandwich wanted it. We let them have it (Mr. was his executor) provided they put our friend's name on it as the donor.

He was also a big Christmas nut ... if he were here today, I'm sure he'd be all over MMC!

If you love Burgess' stories, I bet you'd love the Hollow Tree stories by Albert Bigelow Paine. There are several places you can read them online or download them (safely) for free.

I feel like Christmas nuts are the ones who appreciate good children's literature---because part of us never grew up all the way, in a good way.

Love this story, MC ~ thank you for sharing!
How wonderful that your friend loved Burgess and even collected his works. It was so nice of you and Mr. to let the museum have his collection and to have his name put on it! Love it!!

I just worked this am then Carolina and I stayed in and relaxed. Shes starting to feel better and I'm getting her cold. Tomorrow is more of the same with work. Carolina will go to my cousins all day tomorrow because Mike has mandatory OT tonight and tomorrow night at work. Thursday we have a school field trip to the zoo

It's great Carolina is feeling better ~ hope you are, too! xx

Good Morning, MMC!! It’s going to be a decent day with a high in the low 50’s. I’ll be off in a few to take mom to a doctors appointment. Then I have a few other errands to run. Nothing to exciting though. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Hope Mom's appointment goes well! xx

 

[Meceka]

Thanks! Hope all is well with you, Meceka!

You're welcome!
Things are going well out this way.

 

[Meceka]

Thank you! We’re very excited. I’ll post pics when she comes.

Looking forward to seeing her pics!

 

[Meceka]

That’s all we’ve had. She’ll be our third. Nittany just had her 3rd birthday the other day!

A very Happy Birthday to Nittany! xx

Thanks Meceka!

You're welcome! xx

I didn’t explain that well ... the museum got the rare photo; the books and glass were sold at an annual auction the museum holds to raise money. They told us Burgess fans from all over the world attend.

Just found out that the museum closed in 2013 due to lack of funds...so sorry to hear that. But there’s still a Thornton Burgess Society!

Crown, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your cousin.

I can do Sunday for you. I'm with SFM, I couldn't hold a candle to you my friend but, I'll stand in anyway to support you.

Thanks, much!
