I’m getting another stent in my heart tomorrow, so wish me luck. I had bypass surgery ten years ago and I have six new blockages. When it rains, it pours! The virus hasn’t hit very many people here yet, so I hope that I won’t pick up anything in the hospital. I want to come home right after the procedure where I feel safe. I miss having contact with my friends. I love cooking for eight people for dinner and serving a nice wine to go with the meal; that is except when I make a Mexican dinner, then I serve Margheritas.

Good luck, Jane @darlingtondoll It is an especially trying time to have to have a procedure done at the hospital. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
I understand missing contact with friends. Did you know that we started a discussion group dedicated to COVID-19? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/covid-19/

Some of the discussions are focused on staying social connected, virtually, with Connect friends. Your beautiful pictures would be a great addition in this discussion:

Will be thinking of you, Jane, as you have your surgery tomorrow. Wishing you an easy and speedy recovery...and then, I and other of your connect friends will gladly be awaiting invitations to what sound like lovely dinner evenings in your home. Sending you cyber hugs!

Oh, how my nephew would have loved your gold cart. He was an avid golfer and would have been out playing any day weather permitted. Years ago, he was the first in TX to receive a companion dog and drove his especially equipped cadillac from TX to CA to be trained with new companion, Escort. Can't remember now how many commands Escort responded to but he became an instant favorite of all who saw the two best friends together. Will be thinking of you today and wishing you home soon with a speedy recovery.
