I love dragonflies but not sure I would have liked being swarmed by them!🤣

 

It took me a minute to understand what's a dragonfly, so DH supplied me some pics he took a while ago in our neighboring park....

Very cute dragonflies. We have a very pretty blue ones too and I love watching them.
Peace and hugs to you.

@sea2shiningsea

Helen, I have been enjoying your wonderful pictures a lot every time! Thank you for taking us along. I would never have gone to Japan or Norway otherwise 😉😁

I just wanted to say that without quoting them again and again and jamming up the thread.
Where is your next cruise?

[Arzeena]

@dbancroft
Have a great cruise! Enjoy!

May be "we" have another species 😕

Dragonflies, like butterflies…thousands of different species.

Told the grandkids they could wrap my spare change and take to the bank to get bills they could use for souvenirs.  
 

$247 later.  That weighs over 39 pounds. 
 

 

That is almost like five Rickys.

What a coincidence!!  We watched (the original cartoon version) of 101 Dalmatians last night!!  I love that movie!!!  (DH refers to it as “Too Many Dogs.”

Then, I wondered what that old lunch box was worth?  Looks like $10-$20.

 

I found an old play sword my son had in the mid 80’s.  Saw one of them online listed for $5,000.  Of course, my grandson says his dad’s sword is now his.

I am thankful we got the backyard fence now to keep the deer out. Last week Sharon saw this which is just a few houses from ours.  The deer are running towards the path that leads to our backyard!

 

These pics were taken yesterday down the street some.

Oh, deer!  😄 😇

[h20skibum]

Wow, that is a lot of deer.  Don’t usually see more than 3 or 4 in our yard.   They have been feasting on our hostas.  There are only a few left to eat now.  Which reminds me, I better spread some chemicals to keep them away from the few that are left.

Some of our GKs are at Santa Rosa Beach this week.

Before leaving on the Icon cruise I had my annual check up. When we got back, early February, we heard my family doctor fell and hit his head.  He had a brain hemorrhage.  He was moved to a hospital in Little Rock and remained there until about 2 weeks ago he was moved back to our local hospital.   We just heard he passed away Sunday.  He has been my doctor over 35 years. He was a great person and doctor.

Good evening.

I had a nice breakfast overlooking the North sea this morning.

It has been sunny 72°F most of today.

I hope everyone is safe and well and y'all are having a fabulous day.

Sorry to read about that. Hopefully your new doctor will take care of you just as good as the previous one did.

I hope you are doing good and are getting ready for your cruise.

I am sorry John to hear of the passing of your doctor. I've been going to same doctor for over 26 years. He literally knows me inside and out. I don't know what I do if he wasn't around. I feel for you and am sorry for your loss.

He was my doctor for at least 35 years.  We came to know each other well when I was fighting kidney stones often.  I lost count how many times I ended up in the hospital.  He came to learn how Morphine was the only thing that took my pain away.  Anything else turned me into a mad drunk.  🥴 

One day I went to his office and told him that a stone was coming.  He told me that the hospital was overcrowded and that I will have to wait for a room. He said before going over he would give me Demerol. As he saw me bowing up he quickly said,  once we get you in a room we will get your Morphine!

It took a couple hours to get a room and I was hurting!  About 20 minutes later Sharon was on the right side of the bed and I told her, the stone must of stopped moving, it's not hurting.   The nurse, which I didn't hear come in said, "Good! It's all in!" I didn't know she was giving me Morphine.

 

[Sea Dog]

Sounds like a wonderful compassionate doctor who knew how to help his patient.

@Ozark_Kid It sounds like the loss of your doctor is like the passing of a loved one.  I'm sorry you lost someone who had such an important place in your life.  Hugs to you and all who loved him.
