Weather: low 74 degrees, high 86 degrees, mostly cloudy skies, humid
I whined a little in last night's post about the injection I received in my left wrist when I saw the orthopedic doctor. I'm glad to say there will be no whining tonight, because the wrist is doing much better. It's hard to believe how quickly it started feeling better. Maybe my problems with that part of my body are finished.
I had an appointment with our family doctor this morning to see him about a respiratory problem that I have. He treated me for it last week, but the problem is persisting. When I saw him today, he changed some medicine and added another one that he thinks will make a difference. The problem is serious enough that we're going to stay here another week. If there's no improvement, the doctor will be sending me to a specialist. Remember what I said about seeing a doctor leads to seeing another doctor leads to seeing another..... Looks like my prediction is coming true.
Since we're here for another week, I went to the library and checked out some new books for us to read. The Glen Rose library is very good for the size of the town, and we make full use of it when we're in the area. We also use the Granbury library, but not as much. Think of the money we save on reading material by using the public library wherever we are.
In the past, I've written about how vicious the mosquitoes are on the gulf coast. Well, those coast mosquitoes have nothing on the mosquitoes around here. There has been a lot of rain here recently, and that means an outbreak of mosquitoes. It's surprising, because when we were lived here for 26 months, we seldom saw a mosquito. Not so now. We can't step outside without being attacked by the blood sucking little devils. I'm ready to go to the desert. Or the mountains.
When we were in Stephenville yesterday, we spent a little time looking around. Carolyn found a sewing shop that she just had to look in, so I went into town and took some pictures. Here's a picture of the Erath County Courthouse.
The courthouse was built in 1892 and restored in 1987. The architectural style is Richardsonian Romanesque. When I walked inside, a group of middle school students was being shown the foyer of the building, which consists of limestone columns going from the ground floor up to the tower.
Erath County has several dairies, and is the top dairy product producing county in the state. This sign gives an idea of how they feel about their dairies.
More later, be safe.
