My friend Bonnye has been given 3 - 4 months to live. Not good. But she does seem to be improving so who knows maybe she will be yet another one of God's miracles.

My sciatic nerve on the other hand is not improving yet. My neck and SI joint no longer hurt but now my thigh muscle and glut are stretched so tight they feel as if they are about to snap. It is excruciatingly painful to bend over and pick something up or get in and out of a car. Thank heavens I am no longer at toyota. I probably would not be able to do that job right now.

I am supposed to be hanging some of my pictures in a coffee shop in Nicholasville hopefully soon. We are also doing a display at the library here in Georgetown for the month of november. As well as, set up a booth on Nov. 27th at the unique gift fair at the thoroughbred center in lex. Looking forward to doing that also.

I am exhausted. Going to bed. Goodnight all.

The camera workshop in Hocking Hills was awesome. We got some great fall shots and had a blast. I would love to go there again when it isn't quite so crowded. We did manage to go to a rather secluded lake to get some great shots.

The gluten free diet is going well. Actually better then I expected. I still struggle to find something to eat here at the house that doesn't require cooking. I like quick things for lunch and for now have been eating a lot of scrambled eggs or refried beans on a taco shell.

My friend Bonnye does not seem to be improving much. She did not get to come home as anticipated. I hope to go see her in the next couple of days and pray with her. Michael wants to pray over her for healing. I don't think anyone has done that for her and we definitely need to.

My Sunday school class is going to natural bridge this sunday for lunch and some hiking. I am looking forward to it. I am not supposed to be exercising so I will take the skylift up and try to limit my hiking. So, not fun. I love hiking especially in the fall and with winter coming it makes hard to just stay indoors. I hate to miss a good photo opportunity.

I need to finish this and make me some gluten free bread so I can have something to eat for the next few days. Hope all is well in your world.

Fun with photography

It has been a busy week. I am now on a gluten free diet per orders of my new chiropractor. Not a fun or easy diet to maintain. This is not to lose weight, although I am, it is to eliminate the swelling in my muscles so that I can get some relief from the pain I was continually experiencing. The pain is getting better in my neck but I have had a rough couple of days this week with my sciatic nerve.

Going gluten free is a much healthier lifestyle but requires a lot of work if you don't like the frozen breads they sale. I, personally, do not like them. They are very dry. So I am now baking my own bread with multiple flour mixtures that I have found in two different cookbooks. It is an interesting journey.

Besides a major diet change, I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon for a photography weekend in Hocking Hills, Ohio. I am looking forward to it. Not sure, just yet what all that entails but we are sure to have a good time and get some good photographs while we are out. We get to spend 8 hours with a professional photographer which will be a great learning experience.

It is late and I am exhausted. I will write more when I get back. Good night everyone.

Things have been going well for me. I am about to get serious about writing my book. There have been 400 women respond to my survey and the comments have been encouraging and heart wrenching at the same time. There are a lot of hurting women in this crazy world we live in. Which only increases my pray list. I pray that God would heal these broken and wounded marriages.

My photography is going well. I have my website up and almost complete. Things are good with Michael and I. Overall things are good in my life.

The down side, I have one friend getting a divorce after only 10 months of marriage and another who has just been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and it has matastasized into the ovaries and liver. I pray that God will heal her. He has the power and is the great physician anything is possible with our Lord and Saviour. All we can do is to claim the victory over this dreadful disease and wait for God to work. I will keep you posted on how it all turns out.
