I just finished a very short session of trying to learn and get my guitar sounds to sound clear. I remembered that I thought I had a picture of a drawing a friend of my family growing up drew when he and his wife came to see me perform at “The Dust Bowl” in Tulsa, OK when I was starting high school and continuing through college. The date hanging from my foot says, November 2, 1964, so this was in the dark ages. The next summer I would meet and fall in love with my Harvey and he would soon join the Marines for the next 4 years.

We will leave soon to go visit Harvey. I have “Mr. Natural” ready to take to him and put up on his “Happy Wall.” It would be nice to get a smile, but we’ll meet him where he is and try to brighten his day a bit. We’ll probably stop for chocolate on the way home, regroup, and then spend some time at the cafe.

Brian opted out on the gym because he’s still coughing hard. Hopefully, in another couple of days we’ll both feel like resuming our normal early morning schedule. He did find some cough medicine that seems to be loosening his cough and helping him get rid of the problem.

  1. Oh, I am sorry to hear Brian has been coughing more, but glad he found something that may help. I wondered how many alternative health practitioners there are there. I know there is an herb that is fantastic for dry cough, it’s called Mullein. I use it every so often. I buy the tincture. And keep on hand.

    I finished two sketches today and will post later or tomorrow. I did Mr Natural and Richard reminded me (I had seen him before)!

    • We’re getting a little better each day. We don’t feel that bad – the cough is just really annoying. The cough medicine we’re taking is supposed to be an expectorant, so hopefully things will continue to get better. I’m glad to hear you’re sketching! I hope you’re enjoying yourself and losing yourself in the challenge of trying to get what you see on paper.

    I am hoping your Harvey did smile when he saw your new addition for his “Happy Wall”. I will be curious to see what his response was to the picture you sketched and painted for him.

    Also, sending peace, joy, love and healing for you and your son. Take care and rest well. (Donna)

    • He didn’t ‘smile,’ but he held it in one hand, looking at it, and then nodded his head and said, “Good.” When I asked him if he wanted me to add it to his wall, he nodded again. I’ll post pics on the blog this morning. Thank you for the good wishes, Donna. Truly appreciated. We’re getting a bit better each day, but opted out of the gym again this morning.
