As you may be aware both my elder sister and I have Lyme disease...so every three months or so, we make a trip to the Cincinnati area for a doctor's appointment. Thankfully, we had an uneventful (i.e. safe) trip both ways.
Dr. Ritche is pleased with our progress and for the most part so am I...even though some things seem to bother me more. But, in reality, that makes sense because the 'bugs' are being killed and rattled around.
We both have more blood work to get done. I will remember to drink a lot of water when I go to get blood drawn this time...
More interesting facts: a) I have an official blood-test diagnosis of "wheat allergy"; not that I really needed it. Getting drunk off the stuff is tell-tale enough for me!
b) I have a mild peanut allergy. NO!! Well, yeah. Moderation, young lady, moderation. (To be honest, we have not been eating very much peanut butter lately anyway because the organic stuff is so expensive.)
c) I have a mild allergy to egg whites. You have got to be kidding me! I will just pretend I never heard of this.
We had a great lunch at the Mexican restaurant we like to eat at when over there...the waiter was quite amused when we all ordered double-beans instead of rice! :D
Then we bounced on over to Jungle Jim's...and spent hours there shopping. I do not know what all we bought, but there are two items of extreme interest to me: First, the Linden honey (from Germany). We have Linden trees and I am fully intending on raising bees this next year, so I want to taste what honey from the "bee-tree" tastes like.

This is the outside of the sock (hose, if we want to be technically correct). It's kind of cool how the ribbing looks as it decreases.
This is the inside...the decreases look rather crumby at the top, but that is because I could not remember how to decrease properly until I was at least an inch or so into the decreases.
Ah well, I need to get a move on. Daddy and I are planning on butchering the rest of the hens (ten) this morning.
Bye now!
Bye now!
