One Week Post-Op
I am now one week post-op after my hip replacement surgery. My surgery was Wednesday, October 8 and I am writing this on Thursday, October 16. The most surprising thing to me so far is how much work this recovery business is! I was the first surgery of the day at Dublin Methodist last Wednesday …

Encampment at Cumberland Gap
On Saturday, June 21, we had an encampment at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. National Park sites don’t do reenactments, but they often do encampments where people dressed up like soldiers come and spent a night or two and talk to visitors about what life was like as a soldier. On June 21 we had …
