Josh Springer and I visited earlier today (a slightly livelier time of day), but I came back to see whether I could help Bruce have an 8 p.m. snack of chicken noodle soup, fruit, jello and juice. Progress. The great night nurse, Dan and I wrangled a pill into submission. I suppose that's more info. than y'all want to know -- fact is, the medical team is getting a little more creative with medications, switching as many as possible to liquid and tomorrow will talk about making some med. changes to keep Bruce comfortable.
We were all glad to see a cardinal with full plumage at the feeder today along with chickadees and ugly sparrows. The arrival of a squirrel to the feeder, certainly got a rise out of Bruce, as we discussed the possibilty of, er, shooting him from this side of the window. We were kidding! But, oh, oh, right after that, wafting our way was the strong smell of skunk!
Today Bruce heard emails and phone messages from Russy Rankin, Joan Korb, Kelly "Fox" Baran, Elizabeth Lee, Amanda Pullman and Mary Jansen. Appreciation.
Hi...I've got my flights, I'll be in Williston on Friday. I could bring a BB gun to help with the squirrels...I'm a great shot. Years ago Bruce taught me to skin, clean and stretch a squirrel hide. I still have it hanging on a wall in the garage.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the phone call on Sunday. See you all soon.

Hello Bruce
ReplyDeleteJust got back from TX. Bit warmer there than VT. I was mainly in the cooler region, mid-high 80s. Squirrel season should be right around the corner in VT, convert the varmit to squirrel and dumplings. JDS
