Spa day for Izzy and a Local Tour for Me

My eye exam went well and I now have answers to my double vision problems. I have been diagnosed with Fuch's Dystrophy, which is a problem with the corneas, but can be remedied with simple surgery, if the condition worsens. However, for now they have given me a new glasses prescription, which I have ordered and should be done by Friday or at the latest Monday. I will be able to continue my trip after that.

Meanwhile here are some pictures of what I have been busy with. Miss Izzy had her spa bath in the kitchen sink. She is so good, just standing in there and letting me bathe her.

Of course Tuesday was a very memorable day; the nation's choice of our next president. I did not watch TV myself until late that evening. I just kept texting my daughters to find out when anything new happened  :)  Then after falling asleep, I woke about 2:30 am with the TV still on, and saw the result at that time.  I was glad to see it end and will be praying for wisdom and strength for our new president and for our nation as a whole.
On Wednesday I went into Paducah after a few things I needed and while there I visited the National Quilt Museum. The quilts were exquisite and very artistic. I was drawn to the ones that were nature scenes and western themes. Taking pictures inside the building was prohibited, however I took a few outside of the building and surrounding grounds. This was the back of the building where there was a small parking lot.

That's all for today. Next time will be photos of some of the older buildings near the train museum and the art wall that lines the river.

PS, I now can reply directly under your comments, so please be sure to leave one!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paducah Kentucky

Although I'm not actually in Paducah, but at a campground a few miles away, waiting on an eye exam on Monday and hopefully better glasses shortly thereafter!

Meanwhile I am camped at Cypress Lake campground which is more like a trailer park than what I am used to. But I am here getting things taken care of and meeting up with friends. It makes the time go a little faster and they have been more than gracious helping me with some things that needed taken care of on my new motorhome. Actually, the husband was a camp host at the very first place I camped in my first RV after my husband passed, and had shown me the ropes there.
So good to see them again!

The campgrounds here has nice shower rooms and laundry, a game room with pool table, and campsites with full hook-ups and fire rings. Firewood is available. There are some pull-throughs where I am parked in the back row, closer to the lake.

Here are some pictures of the little lake and of Sasha out on her training walks.

I made a quick trip into Paducah today as I had lost my seam ripper and I am adjusting the length of the curtains I bought to cover the kitchen area window. I also could not resist getting this yarn I just happened to wander past in Hobby Lobby on my way to Wal-Mart ;-)

On another note, this would have been my husband's and my 38th wedding anniversary. He has been gone 5 years now, and I still miss him very much...... just doing what I feel led to do until I see him again. 

Ps. 90:2  Before the mountains were formed or you gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!
