It's been awhile since I checked in, so you got me today. It's a pretty somber day today, inside and out. The weather is dreary, and so are we.
I believe I picked up some bronchial condition on the cruise, as I am coughing more than usual and am feeling lethargic. I seem to be susceptible to lung related illnesses these days.
The day of embarking on the cruise, Dave complained of shin splints in his right leg. He thought maybe it was a result of all the walking we had been doing. We walked 4 1/2 miles the following day in Key West, and he was dealing with a very painful and swollen ankle area by then. We took it easy on the walking after that, but when it wasn't getting any better by the time we got home yesterday, we went to a walk-in clinic and had it X-rayed. It didn't show the stress fracture David thought maybe he had, but it did concern the doctor that he maybe had a blood clot. Off we were sent to the emergency room to have a sonogram done. They figured he had a cellulitis infection and a surface phlebitis, known as thrombophlebitis. He has to keep his leg elevated and be on antibiotics. What a way to end a great cruise.
We were going to have friends Ernie and Kim over for dinner tonight, but regrettably had to beg off. We're not the best company right now.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and/or friends. We will be joining other friends away from their families. We'll make our own "family". I'm hoping we'll both be feeling better by then.
Love and gratitude for all of you......Linda

Glad you had fun on the cruise, celebrating your anniversary!
I'll be sending good thoughts your way for both of you to recover quickly from your ailments. Take it easy and take good care of yourselves.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Dad and I will be spending ours with our friends from the vintage races. We don't have much actual family anymore, but we've discovered that friends are really the best kind of family.
My love to you both, as always.
Glad to hear from you. Sorry about your merry medical news. Hope the both of you are feeling better soon. Have a great Thanksgiving. We are not doing the cooking, so I know I will have a relaxing holiday.

Sorry to hear about your cough and Dave's leg... hope the two of you have a speedy recovery! Glad to hear that you had a great time on your cruise though. :)
Have a lovely and relaxing Thanksgiving... and just know that we're thankful for your friendship. :)

Its been awhile since I checked on you two. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. The pics are beautiful. I am trying to carry on a tradition, of the importance of family, and holidays, for my children,and grandchildren. It is getting tough, cause everybody is so self-centered. I am glad for my childhood, today.
I Wish, I Wish..
Love You Guys, Miss You.
