"Time moves slowly, but passes quickly. Time – Past – Present - Future -- Top 15 Past, Present, & Future Quotes of all time by Matshona Dhliwayo:
3 12. " Time is your acquaintance, life is your friend, death is your enemy, and existence is your soulmate. "
Eileen's note: I don't think "death is our enemy," it is our progression.
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.Walt called himself "The last of the old-time country doctors."He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."
In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City to be a missionary.
3 12. " Time is your acquaintance, life is your friend, death is your enemy, and existence is your soulmate. "
Eileen's note: I don't think "death is our enemy," it is our progression.
Walt was also a carpenter at heart--like his carpenter father, Ray Petersen.

Gary picked me up at 7:08
this morning to drive me to
my 8:40 a.m. appointment
at the U of U Hospital with
my Rheumatology APRN,
Lori Ly.
Azlynne checked my vitals
and updated my meds.
Gary said her name was same as the
gal in Narnia. She said that is who she
is named after.
Lori Ly, APRN
Blood Drawers
Colin and
Lori Ly called this afternoon
to report the blood results were normal
so the RS3PE is stilln in remisson. She
said this means the swelling is from my
venous insiffieiency in my legs.
She couldn't get any blood when
she put the needle in what she thought
was a good vein in my right arm.
So she got Colin to come try.
He was successful.
I do not have good veins for
drawing blood any more.
Great view of city center...

The Golden Arches are the symbol of McDonald's, the global fast-food restaurant chain. Originally, real arches were part of the restaurant design. They were incorporated into the chain's logo in 1962, which resembled a stylized restaurant, and in the current Golden Arches logo, introduced 1968, resembling an "M" for "McDonald's". They are widely regarded to be one of the most recognizable logos in the world.
Gary drove me by their new house in Lehi.
Here's the right side...
...and the right side.
It's a beautiful home.
