Wednesday...and God Bless America
When I was growing up my mom had a unique way of venting. She would start to whistle 'God Bless America.' When us kids would hear mom whistling we would try and stay out of her way. There were 8 kids so mom did a lot of whistling.

Today I am whistling "God Bless America', yes I have to admit that I used that as my way to vent when my kids were growing up. A lot better I think than cussing and throwing things.

Yesterday afternoon Jim's appointment with the specialist was cancelled again. His appointment now is in June. This is no minor thing that he needs to see the doctor about. He is dealing with some serious after affects of his chemo that need to be addressed by a specialist. He first saw the doctor about these things in January. He was given a bunch of tests and scheduled for lab work with an appointment in March. Cancelled.

I realize there was good reason for this cancellation. The area where the doctor's office is located was struck by a tornado Sunday night and power is still out at the clinic. Doesn't help my wanting to whistle though.

God Bless America, land that I love!
Stand beside her and guide her...
