Don't faint. I'm actually blogging here today. First, I wanted to let you know about a very interesting book that I just finished, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It's about Hela cells. These cells have changed the world of medicine in the past 60 years. If you choose to read it you may be horrified at some of our medical history.
I also wanted to share the fact that beautiful fall is taking over here in the Ozarks. I have tried to get a good picture but they all fall (pardon the pun) short of what I'm looking for. Above is a picture of my lunch companion on Thursday. I sat by the pond at the cemetery to eat my soup and neglected to bring bread. Well, you can tell by the look on my companions face that is just not acceptable! And yes, it was that close to me along with about a dozen others. I did have a moment of fear that they were going to take a nip at me. Fall is so beautiful here. It's like someone has taken greens, reds, oranges, yellows and browns and splattered them around. There are always a few trees that turn early and proudly display their grandeur. We got a great view as we drove back from Gladewater, TX yesterday. Please pray for the Shepard family and the loss of their mother and grandmother. I wish I would have gotten a chance to know Robbie Nell better. Many people spoke about how blessed they were by her. Enjoy the fall color! It goes away all too soon!
