Incompetent urgent care

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 30 Nov

Against my better judgment, last Wednesday I went to our local urgent care (I was too sick to travel an hour away) and was told I was negative for flu and covid. Had Bronchitis. Kept feeling worse, had an absolute horrible night...

A strange Thanksgiving

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 26 Nov

We had planned to eat our Thanksgiving meal today instead of tomorrow. But during the night I got really sick with a painful sore throat and cough. Dale took me to Urgent care first thing this morning and I have acute Bronchitis....

A most satisfying smoothie

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 8 Nov

Do you buy smoothies? Do you make your own? I've never bought one, but I love making them. I'm drinking one right now. I have blueberries in the freezer which are really good for you. I added a banana, strawberry yogurt, and a...

Chocolate covered peanut brittle

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 18 Oct

I know this isn't an earth shattering subject, but have you ever tried chocolate covered peanut brittle? I've had the regular kind, but chocolate covered is absolutely scrumptious. We stopped the other day at a local peanut...

Life changes

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 12 Sep

I'm a little old to be realizing this, but nothing in life stays the same. Not health, wealth, or relationships. Sometimes in our early adult years, life gets a little predictable and we don't think about change. They seem to...

Heartbroken about the assassination of Charlie Kirk

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 11 Sep

My heart hurts so much for his wife, his family, and everyone who loved him. He interacted with the youth of America on a level that was not seen anywhere else. Why would anyone want to kill such a wonderful, strong young man...

Good and bad

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 8 Sep

The good news, relatively speaking, is I got my Botox injections today for my migraines. They hurt, but not unbearably and they're certainly better than headaches every day. Today is our son Robert's birthday...I'm cooking a nice...

Orville's back!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 30 Aug

I think I previously wrote about my little buddy Orville, a box common dragonfly who showed up last summer. His little squarish black and clear wings remind me of the plane that Orville and his brother Wilbur flew at Kill Devil...

Love takes some effort

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 26 Aug

A disclaimer: I'm too often guilty of this myself. Not so long ago if we really cared that you were sick or we just wanted to see you, we'd go for a visit. Nothing like a hug to show our love in person. But if we couldn't,...

Maybe Christ,,mas here this year

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 18 Aug

But I doubt it. My back is in bad shape and I have an appointment with a spinal Neurosurgeon soon. As it is I do well to get dinner cooked with Dale's help. The kids say they'll do the cooking, but my kitchen is small. I just...

Grandson's birthday

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 9 Aug

Tammy's Landon just had his 16th birthday and got a car! It's not new, but he was really excited. We didn't get to go, just too far (7 hours) and I'm having a lot of back pain. But so far the injections I got in my neck seem to...

Looking forward to a beach trip

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 5 Aug

Dale and I are planning a day trip to the beach at Nags Head tomorrow. We don't swim, so mainly just walking on the beach. Lots of sunscreen for me, lol. There's a really good seafood place with the best fried shrimp we're...

A yummy snack instead of supper

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 24 Jul

We always have our main meal around 2pm and then have a light something later. I cooked venison steaks with rice, gravy and fried okra and was getting a little hungry for a snack now at 8:30pm. I got out a container of...

Ignorance and apathy

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 15 Jul

I think this is just the most amazing phrase. Ignorance means I don't know and apathy means I don't care. (First of all the photo is our daughter Tammy learning how to do housework! No relation to the post at all.) How many...

Death of a friend

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 12 Jul

We just learned that a lifelong friend of ours passed away last night. It was rather sudden, she seemed fine not too long ago. Not sure, but I think it was cancer that she just didn't know about. She was about 83. Vivian was one...

Wonderous blueberries!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 2 Jul

I absolutely adore blueberries. And what could be better than getting them fresh picked this morning from a friend's berry bushes. I had forgotten she had blueberry bushes until she called to see if I wanted some. Dale and I rode...

A very blessed Sunday

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 29 Jun

Our old church (the one that burned three years ago) had a dedication of their new Fellowship hall after church this morning. The service was good and there were lots of visitors, most relatives and/or neighbors. The new...

Definitely not a vacation

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 26 Jun

Dale and I went to Cherokee on Monday to the casino resort there in western NC. The whole trip was pretty close to a nightmare. First of all the car rental company messed up our reservation so we didn't have a good car. Then the...

A quick hello!

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 17 Jun

Nathan and Landon, our grandsons are here for the day. They're outside helping Papa with a couple of chores. I wish they could help dig potatoes, but too much rain lately. Dale had a doctor's follow-up appointment yesterday and...

Has this happened to you?

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (44257) • United States 9 Jun

I was just remembering something from many years ago...although I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday. We were visiting Dale's family in Arkansas and his mother said to me, "You know, you look just like that woman...
