We have had a strange day for weather -- very humid and cloudy this morning, the sun played hide and seek this afternoon, and dark clouds with a sprinkle of rain this evening. To the west and north of us was under a thunderstorm with hail watch so I'm glad we missed that.
I spent the day cleaning and doing more laundry. Washed bathroom rugs and a pile of towels that DH uses in the garage when he is tinkering around and washing vehicles.
"Gma" -- Good luck with your MRI tomorrow! I think the medical profession should have "HURRY UP AND WAIT" in their motto somewhere. I didn't realize that your arm was broken . . . big or little break doesn't matter, I'm sure it is still painful for you. Keep us posted!
Not much is newsy from my corner of the world tonight. I have a dentist appt. in the morning and then a perm. I wasn't going to do a perm but think that I didn't get the best cut the last time . . . have hunks sticking out where I don't want them to stick out and holes where I don't want holes! I just hope the humidity doesn't make it a tighter curl . . . I just want a little body to hold the mop in place.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

from Iowa!
Then I went shopping for a shower gift and a pair of black T-sandals to wear to an outdoor wedding this weekend. There were none to be found in this one horse/one shoe store town so I will just make do with my white sandals since I can't get my dress shoes on yet. My outfit is black and white. I refuse to wear my "funny" shoe. 
I ended the morning with getting a perm and we shall see what it does once I wash it. I can never get it to look like my beautician does. 
They are funny characters, that's for sure.
in Iowa!
I'm all for eating regular food but I know that I can't have my favorites as often nor in the quantities I would like. I had the best luck on the old 123 plan. I wish I would have saved the books! Maybe I should check out Ebay and see if they might be there.
Our MRIs are done in a portable unit, as in a semi truck, which we share with other area hospitals. I think if I ever need one, I would opt to go to a larger facility that has the open machines. There is a surgeon who practiced gastric bypass surgery in Des Moines and over the past 2 (?) years, he has had 5 patients die. After the last one died he quit doing the surgery saying that it was too emotionally involved with the patients and their families. There are several lawsuits pending including some from patients who are still living with the side effects from the surgery. He is now moving to Ohio and sent letters out to his patients stating he would no longer be practicing in Iowa. In the paper yesterday, one of his patients who died received the letter! Her husband is suing because he maintains she was very sick for 3 weeks prior to her death and the doctor ignored the symptoms. I don't think, no I'm sure, I could never go that route. Even the so-called success stories still have such life changing challenges for the rest of their lives.
again in Iowa!
I am kind of surprised that they would change programs in the middle of the year though. I'm glad your thumping is gone from your ear area! The one thing I remember from my last tea party was that Margo had taken a child's pair of red rubber boots and planted flowers in them. I would never have thought to do that in a million years. The first time I ever met her, she and I were working on Bible School together. As we stood and talked, she cut out letters, free hand, for the bulletin board without really even paying any attention to her hands, paper, or scissors. She and her husband host an open house between Christmas and New Year's with all kinds of fancy food; they have the outside decorated with lights in all shapes and forms around the yard and farm buildings. When our kids were little they had a German Shepherd that wouldn't think twice about biting a stranger's leg right off. Margo named him Fluffy. 
The hostess has completed the necessary steps to be certified as a "master gardener." In doing so she realized that she already had planted many flowers mentioned in the Bible. So our tour today was to point out the different verses and the flowers mentioned therein. I can't begin to name all of the different lilies, plants, and trees; most of the flowers I had never heard of nor remember nor seen before. Several were edible varieties. Afterwards we had a choice of different flavored iced teas, lemonade, and pies, sweet breads, or muffins. It was a fun time! Just before we went inside to eat, one of the ladies spotted a funnel cloud several miles away. I'd never seen a real one before so that was a new experience for me. It never did touch down and eventually it just lifted back up into the clouds. I would think that all of the seniors would attend graduation festivities. WOW! What great prizes they give away!
