Wed. night

Has no one posted since before Father's Day?  Seriously?  Are you all OK?  Gee, and I thought I was the one with the problems, like we've had terrible storms the last three days, including today, producing small tornadoes and waterspouts in my county, though not near me, praise God.  The lightning has been like strobe lights though.

Yesterday, Monica McCarty's latest Highland Guard book, "The Hunter," came out.  I've been waiting for several months for it to come out as I've loved this series about Robert the Bruce's secretive Highland Guard since the beginning.  Also, Stephanie Lauren's latest book in the Cynster series came out; this one is the last one in the Bar Cynster series but she says there are plenty more Cynsters around.  I seldom buy two books at a time but did since they are two of my favorite historical authors.  Monica McCarty's books are so well-researched and Stephanie Laurens is well, Stephanie Laurens.

I had my follow-up with the doctor on Monday.  He said he got all of the stone (fantastic).  Then he said, "No more salt and no more ice tea."  Huh?  No more tea?  Yes, he said, No more tea!"  B--but, I said.  He said, "I said, no more tea.  Only coffee or lite soda."  Coffee? I said.  "Yes, you can drink coffee or lite soda.," he said.  But I can't drink diet soda.  "I didn't say diet soda; I said lite soda."  Do you know how many tea bags I have? I said.  He said, "Thousands?"  Un-huh.  "No more tea."  How about herbal tea?  "I said no more tea.  That means tea of any kind!" he said. "The Carolinas are the king of kidney stones because they drink so much ice tea.  Now no more tea!"  waaaaayy!

I hope everyone is doing well.
