When I worked at Michigan Bell Telephone company many years ago we called the art of doing two things at once overlapping.  Any old telephone operator would recognize that word immediately.  In this day and age the word has been changed to multitasking.  As I sat in the swing with Brandy yesterday this fact came sneaking into my poor old noggin.  I was crocheting Les’ afghan and rocking Brandy on the swing at the same time.  Actually I was breathing fresh air also but I’m not sure if that counts.

Somewhere in my boxes is this a picture taken of me working at a sewing machine with a bird on my shoulder and one of my grand kids (Courtney I believe) tummy down laying across my knees as I rocked her back and forth.  I used to rock my kids that way as I played pinochle with hubby and friends.  So as you can figure out multitasking or overlapping has been a part of my life for years.  I’m sure that if you thought about you have also mastered that art. 

Today our search for a specialist in glaucoma led us to the big city of Detroit, Michigan.  We ended up at Henry Ford Hospital.  I have had several acquaintances that have been treated at this hospital but I have never been inside it myself. A 147.18 mile round trip that resulted in finding a doctor who is going to do the surgery to help correct a potentially dangerous situation was the results.  The good news is that he has another office a bit closer to our home and an opening next Monday to operate on Jay’s left eye instead of waiting a couple of weeks.  It was Dr. Ross who found this doctor for us and we will continue seeing her during this time also. 

  So as age marches us on, each hill encountered is climbed and we wait for the next challenge that life is going to hand us.  Confident that we have more love and caring to give before the game is called on account of darkness!
