Still Sleepy after all these hours....

Naturally I am not used to blogging, most of my thoughts remain in my head. I haven't even informed many people that I have a blog yet.

I walked through the door at 2:00 AM....I was still hyper and it was 4:00 AM until I could go to bed...I slept until 11:00 AM, Christy was already up...She was asleep when I got in...Immediately I was "required by wife" to provide lunch..I guess it's that Hunter/Gatherer aspect type of thing..I was refusing to leave the house...luckily I married to a wonderful woman and part of that "required by wife" thing is a desire to please her...So it was call the Chinese place and order delivery...then it was back to bed..... Tonight I was told I needed to go get a Ice Cream Cake after that stupid commercial finally got the best of Christy...The American Diabetes people need to lobby for warning labels on food commercials...subliminal messages included. I did make her do the "Ice Cream and Cake" song before I let her have any....

The trip to Cincinnati was long but nice. The Shriners Hospital there is a 30 bed burn center and just the children I saw in the outpatient clinic would break your heart. The facility is very nice and the people are great. I am writing an article about the trip and the hospital for the newsletter. One of the things I plan on doing with this blog is publish my articles here as well as the newsletter. My younger brother Ross went with me as my co-driver and I was very thankful for his help. We stopped on the way home at the orchard that used to belong to our great-grandfather, it really wasn't out of the way and we avoided construction traffic by not going back through Louisville, KY. We brought back a few white peaches for our Mother and I got a quart of some really good honey. The label stated it had won a state fair award for eight years and after tasting it I know why. Christy said it reminded her of her Grandfather's honey.

Tomorrow Christy and I make another trip then I have to get busy on the newsletter. I haven't even downloaded the photographs yet...

Until then......

Good Morning Cyberspace!!
I now have a blog, thanks to my wonderful daughter and supporter of all my cyber-life activities.

Now I am leaving in an hour to drive to the Cincinnati Shriner's Hospital for Children to take a local patient for an appointment. I'll be back late tomorrow night. I will be writing an article about my trip for the Shrine Club newsletter I write.

Have a great day and stay well.
