Surgery Day! Oct 1

Had to be at hospital by 5:30 this morning so naturally woke up at about 2:30 and started watching clock until 4 when we finally gave in and began getting ready. Raining softly this morning with very little traffic although some on way into Seattle. I think in future when I have to drive in city traffic we will travel this time of day.. ha! I can handle the motor home in city driving when there are very few vehicles on road! Thought I would be able to spend an hour or two with Earl before they took him away but no... they took him away before 6 and now I am just waiting... expecting Joyce later on and John later too. No cell phone service here inside hospital so will have to step outside to make any calls. As surgery is expected to take about 7 hours give or take an hour or two don't think that will be a problem. Fortunately they do have wifi so can at least stay in touch in some ways...

Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign.  Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started.  Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture.  It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha!  All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.  Too bad so many have been neglected.  Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere.  Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN!  Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations!  That is something in this young country with so littl

We were surprised to have Earl III come down for a very short visit in Aug 2017 and took him up to Sedona and Taliesin West to see Frank Lloyd Wright's art school.  Very interesting tour and unique setting.  Of course homes are crowding in on this area now so not the seclusion that was intended when originally built.

It was a bit of a surprise to see this guy swoop down on this dove at our "quail block" the other day.  He sat there looking around long enough for us to get a few pictures then flew off to eat in private.  Thank goodness he took the dove with him instead of feasting right there.  They have to eat too; and all that but it is disturbing to come out and see a pile of feathers.  I can speak from past experience they do not leave anything behind besides feathers.. no skin or bones or waste...  Pretty isn't it...
