"Time is so precious- do not waste it"
.
Good Morning.
.
How are you feeling this Friday morning ? I hope to hear you say fine, and I think that you are. We all are as usual looking, for the rest and relaxing in the days that we will be home. Even though Mary and I were not at home yesterday, I received a lot of comments which we do appreciate, So many appreciated the poem about the old people. A lot of my comments come to me in an email and you do not see them, I am sorry, I wish that you could. Any way I do want to thank all our world wide friends who have been so kind and helpful to us through the years. Dad.
.
I don't have to tell you that we are back home from Nashville safe and sound, you wouldn't be reading this if I was still in Nashville. We arrived at home at 8 P.M. and there was one happy Prince waiting for us. All went well at Vanderbilt. We do appreciate those doctors down there and trust them.
.
Now here is Mary with a note: "
I think that she can explain it a lot better than old Dad can.

Friday, Nov. 12:00, 2 p.m.

Dear Friends, Some of you have been asking about my appointment at Vanderbilt. Thank you for your care.

Jim and Beverly took us (Nov. 11th) and we appreciated that very much.We had a good trip to Vanderbilt. The Dr. is a Specialist in Parkinson's Disease. He and two other Doctors gave me a very intensive Neurological Exam. The illness is progressing, but they made some changes in my medications and added two more. The Dr. said, "Remember that PD is a progressive disease. There is no slowing down of that progression. but we can treat the symptoms" somewhat. The Dr. mentioned that surgery (Deep Brain Stimulation) is an option. I'm not keen on that but it is an option somewhere down the line.
Thank you so much for your interest and care.
Love, Mary


It will be a little later in the day as I am letting her sleep a little longer this morning as she was one tired girl last night. Mary does appreciate all of her friends who were thinking of her.

I am beginning to feel the need of a good hot cup of that Starbucks x bold, so while it is perking why don't we look in on my friends at Sara's Dog Training blog. I always appreciate all that Sara tells me about Misty and Oreo, they look so good in the first picture that comes up. Thanks Sara. DAD..

We are having so much nice fall weather here in East Tennessee and I am enjoying it to the fullest. It has given me some time to do a little more work on my Wildlife Habitat, and I think that the birds are enjoying it. There is a little extra work in having a Habitat, but it is worth it, Why don't you try one for yourself ?

On your blog today, my sister mentioned the Kolea Bird flying from Alaska to Hawaii every year. So, I had to do some research and I found this video of a Kolea Bird set to lovely music and a nice verse by O'Henry about the Kolea Bird:

"We never miss the music until the sweet voiced bird has flown away." - O. Henry (William Sydney Porter)
