Sex Sells

Went to the movies last night to see Indiana Jones. I was there at 6:30. Tickets for Sex and the City were already sold out for the evening.

With all the news of Stonehenge, I thought it interesting to run into these great photos of Carhenge today.

Darn, lower than I wanted

I'm thinking barns would fit almost as much as baseball.

rence Mann: Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, you'll say. It's only $20 per person. They'll pass over the money without even thinking about it: for it is money they have and peace they lack

Memorial Day in the country means fixing the urns at the cemetery. Here is part of our crew on Sunday.

My brother climbed up to the highest window in the horse barn yesterday and took this picture of the coop. I love it! The ladder is one of those wood nailed to the side of the barn things . . . Boo said the wood was extremely solid.

We had a great Memorial Day at the farm yesterday. For those of you who celebrate, I hope you did too!

The Law School buildings are on the other side of this alley, so I guess they want to make sure the students know where to go?!

Bottom

I think I've hit bottom. Still working on the arthritis. I had a cortisone shot in the knee three weeks ago: that has relieved things so that I don't have to take drugs. I'm going for another round of therapy. Something isn't right, though, 'cause I'm limping more now than I did when I started. What have I screwed up?

And then, as these medical things often do, one thing leads to another. My liver count was slightly elevated, so I had to have a liver ultrasound. Almost cried when I went in for it: wish I'd had the privilege of going in for a baby ultrasound. Got the results back. Fatty liver disease. Nothing terrible, except I need to lose weight. And I haven't been able to do that for 30 years. *sigh* So I'm frustrated, and a little scared, and mad at myself for letting this happen, and just in general I feel as if I've hit bottom.

Of course, you know the only way now, right?

This is my niece Kea and her daughter CJ. A first Mothers' Day for them. I was lucky to do a studio session with them yesterday.
