I've been amazed at all the names people have shared today.  Sometimes, I don't think parents think about how a names sounds or how people, especially kids, react to shall we say odd names.  One of Texas' former governors was Jim Hogg, who had a daughter.  Her name was Ima.  Growing up, there was an urban legend that Ima had a sister named Ura.  Miss Ima, as she was called, was a beloved figure in Texas who did a lot of good for a lot of people.

 

We lived in Texas for a couple of years when I was in 2nd and 3rd grades.   I remember visiting the Hogg home while we were there and learning about Ima Hogg.

We're native Texans and have never visited tne Hogg home.  I guess that's typical of people skipping local places, but touring places away from home.  We've tried to visit more local places.

Bruce thanks for the picture!  Nice of you to remember to wave at us today.  Waving back!  We’ve eaten dinner and listening to music in Crown Grill Bar with a glass of wine for me and Gentleman Jack for DH. They have lots of music, singers, bands and dancers on this ship. Last night they had two violinists in here and tonight a guitarist/singer. Excellent!

Thanks for the info.

Back in the 70’s I worked with a girl called Mary. Our junior doctor’s surname was Christmas. Of course we wanted them to get married so we could call her Mary Christmas!!

Best wishes to all.

I'm feeling a bit relieved, I learned that I'm not in stage 4 kidney disease!  I misunderstood her on the phone the other night (strong accent).  I did go from stage 3a to 3b, which is bad enough, but at least not as bad as I thought.  So what she probably had said was "we don't want it to get to stage 4".

 

We have a plan, lots of medications changed, an ultrasound tomorrow morning, and an appointment in early March with a Nephrologist.  And of course I'm still guzzling all that water. 😉  She definitely agreed that the severe illness I had in December is the cause of this, and some of my meds contributing.  

 

Glad to hear that at least it’s not stage 4 and there is a plan in place.  Prayers that the nephrologist can help 🙏🏻

Just came back from my twice a week physical therapy on my leg fracture.  It is coming along very well. 

 

That is really good news 👍

I just discovered that my snowdrops are up all over the front lawn and my hellebores have blossoms! They may all freeze their b***s off when it gets cold again next week!  Currently 10c but windy. If the wind stops it will be very nice in our corner.

 

OK, I am officially jealous 🤢. We are buried in snow - but of course, we usually are.  enjoy your beautiful blooms 🙂
