Catching up


Jerry's pain and swelling became so bad that today he had to go to the emergency room. He is now in the Unicoi County Memorial Hospital, and the doctors are telling him he either has a blood clot or a deep infection. They will do an ultrasound tomorrow so as to make a correct diagnosis.

Yesterday Carolyn and I drove over to Kingsport and Bay's Mountain Park. It was our first time there and it is nice, but they desperately need some parking facilities. I am nearly 65 years old, and yesterday is the first time I remember ever seeing water lilies in person. They and their attending critters are very photogenic. We left there and went to the Sciota steam engine show, but it was too crowded and there were no places to park within walking distance for a couple of old cripples. The event should be moved away from a farm yard and to an accessible location. From there we drove up to Limestone Cove to check out the picnic area and found it to be nice but little used, and on to Buffalo Mountain Park. They have finally built a shelter there, but there are still a lot of lone men in cars hanging around the area.

Today we drove to Piney Flats and Elizabethton to clean the buildings, and I was able to again visit my favorite flower bed for a few photos.

Except for converting from .raw format to .jpg and reducing file size, the above photo is untouched from the camera.

I hope Jerry is feeling better and the tests tomorrow will find out what is causing the problem so they can fix it.
