| I wish we could change it to spring forward and leave it. I don't care for when it is dark at 430 in the afternoon in winter. |

Marilyn I don't think so. It hit while I was still in bed but the lightening strikes were so close and the thunder so loud Annie got up close to me to be petted. She sleeps on my bed at the foot and never gets up close enough for me to pet her. First time a storm has bothered her. As soon as the worst was over she went back to the foot of the bed. Easiest dog I have ever had to sleep with except when she gets crosswise in bed and takes up most of my side too.
Rained so hard water is standing in my backyard but it'll drain away quickly to the east and south of me. Always good to be on high ground. |

Since 3:52am they have issued 7 alerts for our area. In four hours!!!
Lucky stayed inside the old garage/barn. The lightening was pretty feirce, for sure.
Being on high ground or a gentle slope like we are is always good. |

Marilyn, I got thinking about water draining and that led to memories of floods when I was little and that led to me remembering where we lived.
It was a watermelon farm in Dallas on California Crossing Road. It had been the trail settlers used going to California. West of us CCR ended at the Trinity River. Before you got to the river Goodnight Lane crossed CCR. It was the trail where Charlie Goodnight drove his cattle. I was living right smack in the middle of Texas history and didn't know until I was grown. |

That is so interesting, Sara.
In the 1930s the young man, who later married and they became my parents, was in an oil field accident. His hand was crushed by a bunch of pipe. He was taken to a doctor who sent him to St. Paul Hospital in Dallas. He was a patient there for over two months. They told him he would lose the hand, but he said no, don't give up on it. So he ended up losing his ring finger and pinkie.
Later on he was working in New Mexico, on a rig that blew out. His brother was burned but lived. His cousin also lived but it seems that two men died.
When my son was nine, we took a ceramics class at night. The older woman who taught the c!ass grew up in Dallas when the streets were still unpaved! It was fun to hear her talk about places I knew, but hear her stories of how it had been before urban sprawl began.
When my son was two, my sister got a job at Children's Medical Center doing exrays on tiny patients. That was 1966 and Dallas was a town...not a big city. When we would visit her we would explore. |

Marilyn I was born in St Paul's hospital. Dallas has a reputation for good hospitals. Parkland is a renown burn and trauma center.
Oil field work is dangerous but men do it because it pays good. |

This has been the most beautiful day. Sunny, 77° and after a very stormy and windy beginning the wind laid and it has been perfect.I
When I went to the barn my son and DIL were bathing a horse. They were rinsing the shampoo away.Then he tied him to the trailer to dry a bit before they got on the four wheeler with Shadow and led the pony out to the pasture. All the dogs followed along. Then I saw a white face...and the pony was free!!! He is a beautiful dark brown with a huge white blaze face and white socks. I wondered if my humans were ok. Sure enough in just a minute I saw the four wheeler zooming through pastures in pursuit of the run away. No dogs or DIL. She had chosen to wait there in the pasture, safe. Meanwhile my son scares me because he goes so fast on that four wheeler horse. The gate was open, to the barn area and that was where he finally caught pony, after some circles etc. I have always heard that when a horse gets loose, they will return to the barn, and that pony proved that saying correct!
Now that beautiful animal is a big scaredy cat! He was tied in a stall the day their water was frozen. When I took a broom handle to try to break the ice he freaked out!!! Then yesterday I was dumping buckets so I could refill them with clean water. When I got to his buckets, again he freaked out. I don't know why he is like that. My son says he has a sister who looks like him, up at their house. She is not a scaredy cat like him.

Ok.
History lesson!
St. Paul Hospital opened June 15, 1898.
A Catholic hospital with 110 beds.I
Later called Southwestern Medical Center.
Located near Harry Hines and Inwood.
On Nov.20, 2015 it was demolished.
Now William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital,replaced it.
St. Paul was the first Dallas Hospital to hire black doctors in 1954, before desegregation in 1959.
St. Paul was the first hospital in Dallas to do a heart transplant.
That is cool. |

| When my sister first began her second career as a tech in the Heart Cath Lab at Medical City, we were visiting one day and I asked about her new job. "People are dying to get to us!" Was her responce. I kinda chuckled and she said, " NO, I'M SERIOUS...people are dying on the way to see us. " that was in those very early days of heart transplants when the patients came to their appointments with a tackle box filled with all of the meds they took just to stay alive a bit longer. Things have changed a lot haven't they. |

On my goodness Sara, they sure did!
When I was almost 15, my grandma had to have gallbladder surgery. She had it done at Scott and White in Temple. Since I had been a Candy Striper for a year, I was interested in comparing our small hospital with the large very well known one.
Her bed was in one of several very tall, narrow white wooden buildings with lots of shrubs and flowers all around. The nurses wore white uniforms, white stockings, white shoes and very stiffly starched nurses caps.
Inside she was in a bed, one of many, separated by thin curtains, from the other patients. A metal bedside table with enameled containers with enameled lids held supplies for nurses. At the end of the room was a larger enameled table with more, larger enameled containers. Even the bed pan was enameled. The long Windows were open to allow a bit of breeze to flow through. The neatest thing was the big screen door that swept the sidewalk as it swept me inside. Grandma was taken to another building for her operation. I left there thinking that our little hospital was soooo modern.My things have changed! |

I am enjoying the stories of St. Paul Hospital in Dallas. Imagine how it looked and operated at the turn of the Century. I am fascinated by medical history and nursing care. The various wars did help knowledge increase and medical care get better and better. There were huge jumps in knowledge from the Civil War to WWI and even a great leap in WWII. We have a lot to thank those early pioneers who went against the thinking of the day to do new treatments and ways of care.
Today is the second day of warm and not humid weather. It is supposed to be in the low 80s all week until rain next weekend with a new cold front. |

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.
Philippians 4:6
Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.
