LONDON'S UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL AND BACK

 ANOTHER NICE SUMMER'S MORN IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

A storm front rolled through the region south of us Sunday night leaving our area on the edge of it with only a light rainfall.  Not enough to green up people's brown lawns and certainly not enough for farmer's crops.  I did notice on our way to our morning walking spot that the wheat harvest is in full swing with all the wheat fields I saw, already harvested.  A slight drizzle in the air but hardly enough to get Pheebs and I wet on our walk.

 THIS WHEATFIELD MUST HAVE BEEN HARVESTED IN THE LAST FEW DAYS

Under cloudy skies, it was once again all three of us in the Jeep as we made our way over to University Hospital in London, Ontario.  Kelly had the option of a telephone call or a face-to-face meeting with her doctor and decided on the face-to-face this time.  Her meeting was at 1:30 and we were there in plenty of time.

 THIS WAS OUR WAITING SPOT  THIS AFTERNOON IN ARVA

 OKAY BUGSY IT'S TIME TO GO PICK UP MOM:((

After we dropped Kelly off at the door, Pheebs and I followed our usual route northwest out of London and took a look at some rural scenery.  Knowing Kelly's appointment was not going to be a long one we didn't go as far as we sometimes do.  We angled our way back to the Arva church cemetery and pulled in under some tall shady pine trees to await the phone to ring,  Had ourselves a short walk, took some pictures, and got about 3 paragraphs read in my book before 'dingle-dingle-dingle.'  It was Kelly and she was about ready to be picked up.  Pheebs and I were there and scooped her up about 7 minutes later.  She said the meeting was on time and she did get to talk with her doctor and not an intern.  Questions were asked, and questions were answered.  There was no talk about a liver transplant.  Our usual stop at Lucan's Tim Horton coffee shop and we were home about 3:30 p.m.  A hot and humid day with a welcome breeze and partially cloudy skies.

 HEADING HOME

 WELL, THIS LOOKS LIKE OUR PLACE ALRIGHT

 STEPPING OUT OF THE JEEP I COULD HEAR A ROBIN CHIRPING IN THE LEAFY CANOPY OVER OUR DRIVEWAY

 AH YES, THERE HE IS MUNCHING ON A MULBERRY

Upon awakening this morning I could tell first thing that I was feeling a bit better.  No headache was a welcome change and my body felt less achy all over.  Now, if I could get my energy levels up a notch or two maybe I could get a few things done around here.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Speaking at a city-wide PTA luncheon, an interim school superintendent assured members that he was always happy to hear from them about problems. He told them, "You can call me day or night, at this number . . ."Suddenly, there was a holler from the assistant superintendent. "Hey," he exclaimed, "that's MY number!"

A guy calls the hospital and a nurse answers the phone.  The guy said, "Send in help because my wife is going into labor."
The nurse said, "Is this her first child?"
The guy replied, "No, this is her husband."
