Rainy Thursday


Thursdays are usually pretty quiet - and today was no exception. It has rained almost all day - a lovely slow rain. I haven't checked the gauge, but we had 0.25" this morning.

Betsy called to tell me about Ken's latest trip to MDA. He was supposed to get the set-up for his radiation treatments, but that didn't happen. He had a sinus infection and elevated blood pressure. So instead of going 'to' MDA, he wound up 'in' MDA. He should be back home today, and will have to return next week. It is comforting to know that they are SO on top of everything that's going on with the patients.

We had a good program at the Photo Society tonight. The speaker was Kendall Chiles from Knoxville. He's an instructur at UTK, and also teaches photography at various photo workshops around the country. He a bit different in that he is still using slide film. His photos show that wonderful color and sharpness of print film. When asked where he was able to find film, he said that a lot of students who had switched to digital sold or gave him their left-over film. He knows he'll have to make the change sometime, but doesn't want to have the expense of getting all new digital equipment. I can surely understand that.

Our photos are all digital now - and those are the only ones I post here. Today's picture was taken in the Butterfly Garden of the Tennessee Aquarium.
