Now that it is over, I am determined to laugh about it. I just suffered through the worst year of my life, I spent the last seven days in the hosiptal. Last Friday I came home froom running errands in town. Oncce I got in the house I felt dizzy. Elaine noticed. Not sure who suggested it but it was determined I needed to go to the hospital.

I guess I am looking forward to winter because I despise fall/autumn. Elaine loves Fall. She likes the middle of the road temperatures, the gray, brown, tan vegetation. I like greens, blues,

Fifty years ago. I remember exactly where I was fifty years ago this past weekend. Elaine and I were camping. (Yes, the same Elaine I am with today.) It was to be the first time we went camping together and not everyone was happy about us going off camping together. You see, it was a different time, we weren’t married and Elaine’s mother was not happy that we would be alone in the woods. Elaine’s father loaned us camping equipment. Truth be known, we weren’t going to
