Good News For Terri

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 70 degrees, high 89 degrees, mostly sunny skies, breezy

Today's weather was so much better that what we have have seen this past week. It was great to see some sunshine for a change. A few more days like this will help dry things out.

In October of 2007, Terri was in a car accident where another driver in a truck crossed the center line and struck her car head-on. She was lucky to survive the collision, and has been slowly recovering from the injuries she suffered. Today, she found out that a swelling in her left shoulder area that arose recently was caused by the accident which resulted in severe bruising in that area. It still needs to be verified by another doctor, but it appears that the swelling is caused by old blood remaining from the bruising. Obviously, we were concerned about the swelling, and there may need to be surgery to correct the situation, but we feel better about it today.

After Terri called and told of the results of her doctor's visit, we wanted to relax a little from the tension of worrying about what was wrong. We decided to get and take a short ride in the country, which worked to perfection. By the time we were back at home, we felt better.

Our niece Gina and her husband Tim are moving from Texas to the Smoky Mountains to start a new business in the near future. Their new business is at www.smokymountaingrocery.com, and will be located in Maryville, Tennessee, if anyone is interested. We are excited for them and wish them success. We're also excited because this will give us another place to visit where family will be located.

One of Carolyn's favorite places we visited in 2004 was Lake Tahoe. We were staying near Carson City, Nevada when we went to Lake Tahoe. To get to the lake, we had to go across a mountain, which meant we went up the mountain, then down the mountain to get to the lake. There were days when it would be snowing on the mountain just across the road from where we were staying, so we had to be careful when we went to the lake. We had seen the lake in many pictures before we went there, but there's nothing like seeing something in person.

More later, be safe.
