Senior Moments

Early morning in the Glade. November 12, 2010.

Last week we had to get up earlier than usual so Betsy could keep an appointment to get her hair cut.  When I went to the car with her to see her off, I noticed this beautiful sky.  Of course I had to grab my camera and take a picture.

The picture above was taken from the street in front of our house, as you could probably guess from the power lines.  But the color was so nice that I’m posting it anyway.

Morning sky from the golf course behind our house, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. November 12, 2010.

I then went out onto the golf course in back of the house, where I didn’t have to worry about power lines.  The color of the sky was a little different, but the contrails (or clouds) were still very pretty.

I took this final picture a few moments later, just before the sun popped over the ridge to the east of our house.

This week has been rather hectic, so I had to go to the archives to find a picture to post.  I chose this picture of a sunrise here in the Glade taken from one of our golf courses.

I felt a sunrise is appropriate to post today because Betsy’s surgery went well yesterday afternoon.  The surgeon was pleased with the procedure and felt that it would give Betsy relief from her pain.  Betsy was able to move around last night without pain, so we hope that is a good sign.  She has a pain prescription to help her over the next couple of days.  Although Betsy should move around, she’s under doctor’s orders to take it easy, so I guess I’ll have to mow the lawn this weekend!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
