Hello, Readers.
I came across the term
collective pursuit
while picking my way through a
mediocre book
that I happen to be reading in a
mediocre kind of week.
Not many Wows! this week,
but lots of Ows!
It took a collective pursuit of all of my health care providers
to determine where the intense pain on the right side of my head
was coming from.
I have an infected tooth and jawbone
which is triggering pain in my trigeminal nerve.
If you see me out and about
everything from the neck up hurts.
Please be kind.
Hoping to turn the corner on the
swelling this weekend.
I haven't been able to move much
or go many places,
so I was thankful for my garden.
It is a collective pursuit to grow flowers--
I couldn't do it all myself.
Everyone helps.
There are always things to observe
and appreciate.
I walk every morning of the summer
and this morning,
the Canadian geese were back in the park.
I don't even have their
Welcome Back to Harborcreek photo,
because it's too much effort to carry my camera.
If that doesn't tell you my level of discomfort,
nothing will.
I started observing a year or two ago
that the first sunflowers open
the day the geese return.
That, I did get a photo of.
I couldn't kill her.
She has to eat, too, I guess.
July is always Project Time
at the Lamp Post.
The girls always have something going on.
and I left her a loaf.
The Legion Post 571 Baseball Team
had their sights set on the State Tournament
again this year,
but French Creek Valley
will be playing in the heat of Millcreek instead.
There were lots of long faces
and talk of next year.
It was a pleasure to play with these boys.
Best friends always.
In my periods of relief
when the Advil takes a little of the edge off,
I'm vacation planning.
We are heading east soon
and I have my sites set on seeing this first!
I actually started the series again
so I can find all of the spots on the walking tour.
Laughter truly does make you feel better.
If you have not watched it
and are looking for laughs and an excellent story build,
The Office is on Peacock.
It will take a collective pursuit to get us there though.
The van is making a weird noise when accelerating
and is in the shop.
