My grandson has Covid

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 15 Aug

What a 13th birthday "gift!" Landon, our daughter's youngest son is at Urgent Care and has the Omicron variant which I think is a little less severe than the other Covid viruses. He and his mom and dad just got home from his...

Surprise! Another UTI

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 15 Aug

I've been sick off and on pretty much for the last two weeks. First was trying to prevent a complete intestinal obstruction (managed at home, thank God), then it morphed into an IBS attack. Was on smoothies and bland soft food to...

Out with the old

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 14 Aug

Recliner, that is. Well, actually it wasn't old, not quite two years old and in excellent condition. But even though it was a very nice one, it just never felt comfortable to Dale's back. So we sold it today (they got a...

Possible arson suspect in our church fire

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 14 Aug

There's talk (rumor?) about a local man who might be the one who set our church and a camper on fire. I would never say his name, of course. I wouldn't want someone's reputation ruined by untrue claims. But the circumstantial...

Another MRI adventure

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 9 Aug

But not me this time. I think I wrote before about our grandson Nathan's back surgery when he was four. It started when his mother Rachelle noticed a tiny dimple just above his anus in his back that didn't appear to have an...

Have you had an MRI?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 9 Aug

I just came out of an MRI machine (Magnetic resonance imaging) to check my back and hip for pain. Not sure if it's from arthritis or a pinched nerve or a crooked spine. Maybe some of all of it. I've felt it at times forever,...

Netflix: The Invisible Pilot

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 8 Aug

We watched this documentary and if the producers wanted the main character to be shown a tiny bit of compassion, they failed miserably. I won't give away many details, but the "invisible pilot" was a total jerk. The worst part to...

BLT: Bacon or baloney?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 7 Aug

Yeah, yeah, I know some of you may think baloney is right up there with Spam, culinarily speaking. With the delicious crop of red tomatoes from our garden, we've been enjoying a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich most every...

Church fire update

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 5 Aug

Our 146 year old church burned June 23. It still looks like it just happened. The insurance company has paid and it should have been cleaned up and removed by now. I know it takes a lot of decisions on how to move forward with...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 30 Jul

Just when I'm starting to believe just the tiniest bit that maybe we'll survive Covid for the most part.... Here comes monkeypox. I really don't know enough about it to discuss it intelligently, but I'm hoping that as long as I...

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 20 Jul

You may remember that we bought six adorable yellow chicks a few months ago. Buy some chickens, they said... It'll be fun, they said... My husband liked them, but he finally just got tired of the chicken waste all over the back...

Hope today is better

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 20 Jul

Yesterday in the middle of painting the bathroom, I noticed some sparkles in my vision. I thought, "Oh no...an aura." I took two Tylenol Migraine tablets and an ibuprofen, but it still developed into a migraine. Not as bad as...

Can you 'splain this to me?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (32813) • United States 15 Jul

We received a letter from our credit union stating that an old loan account would be closed soon since we haven't used it in several years. Okay. Thank God we haven't needed it. But then it read that closing the account could...
