Great pics, Danielle.

You are so correct. Be careful how you treat people because, good or bad, you may see them again!

Danielle,

Love the photos. I hope your unplanned trip was successful

Dear Ellen:
Thank you for your reply comment.

Definitely not a pleasure trip but I had gotten a call from my Doctor ... wanted to see me
in person because of some of my blood work that was sent in days ago from my small town clinic.

3 more pokes in my arm to get several vials of blood, and while there had a followup gyno
exam and a mammogram. 

Now, the suspense and concern as I wait for the test results and my doctor's evaluation.

The good news is that I am still among the living...
          ...and breathing, talking, eating, and even thinking.

My bush pilot friend saved me from an overnight stay, and I enjoyed a beautiful flight...
...and he offered to take me again if I need a followup visit to my doctor... so very kind of him.

HUGS, Danielle [Northern Star Girl]

great luck having a bush pilot friend. View is amazing.

Awesome pictures, Danielle.

Update on my doctor visit in Anchorage a few days ago:

My doctor in Anchorage was concerned about my "lipid" numbers having to do with my liver. 
With all the meds we take which include HRT, that can be very hard on our body organs
especially the Liver and the Kidneys. 

More bloodwork was taken and I had an EKG, thorough medical exam and also a Mammogram.   

In addition, I got my scheduled injection which addresses my chronic migraine headaches.   

Other than that, I am doing well and still living.
 
On Monday, or Tuesday, I am expecting to hear from my doctor with the test results and evaluations.... 
...I think that it will be ALL OK, but if not, my bush pilot friend from the next-door
coffee shop has already offered to fly me back to Anchorage if need be.

Thanks for the update. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully, it will be something that only requires minor adjustments.

Hugs!

Summer Ends and Autumn Begins:

Today, September 22, 2025, is the Autumnal Equinox,
which denotes the End of Summer and
the beginning of the Autumn Season.  ...

...Today and the next few days the lengths of Days and Nights will be just about equal.
Now the days will start to get shorter in the Northern Hemisphere and will be getting
longer in the Southern Hemisphere as they start the Spring season.

Unless you live at the Equator, enjoy the seasonal changes as I always do.

Happy Spring, @Sarah B, @Allie Jayne, and our other sisters "down under".

Thank you Lori! Spring officially starts down under on Sept 1st, and we are almost at the start of daylight savings ( we change clocks a couple of weeks earlier than the US which make my job of organising international zooms complicated! ) . As you enter Fall (which we call Autumn!) and for many in the US, relief from heat, we are getting excited about beach weather approaching!

Hugs,

Allie
