Released by the surgeon.

Hello to the readers of this blog.

I am attaching this old picture of our church or basilica. This picture was taken about 1898, shortly after the murals had been painted on the walls. For those of you who know the church today, you can see that it has changed a bit since that time

This past week I saw my heart surgeon on Wednesday and he has released me. I do not need to see him anymore. Says I am doing fine. A couple weeks ago I saw my cardiologist and he too said I am doing fine and do not need to see him again until the latter part of November. So that is all good news. I am pretty well back to normal except for not being able to lift anything heavy.

I had some visitors the last couple of days. Rick and Sandy Darnell who now live in Phoenix, Arizona were here to visit from Thursday evening until this morning. Earlier in the week I spent the night in Kansas City with my brother and his wife, Harold and Dee. So it has been a busy but good week.

The weather has been unusually cool here for this time of year. I even woke up last night and was cold so had to get up and close the window.
