Some things from home...
On my way home Sunday, I wanted to take some pics of my journey...not sure why I chose this trip, but I did. I want to share some pictures with you all...pics of my hometown...where I grew up... The first picture is taken on the highway.... trees....trees....trees....and more trees....
This is a sign near my hometown. There are still places in Maine that do not have town names...I happened to grow up near some of them. There are a lot of places that are considered unorganized territories...this picture is especially for Rico... who thinks all of Maine is an unorganized territory. (There are a lot of trees there!)
This is taken from a bridge on the road I call "highway to heaven." This road has numerous churches on it, not unlike many roads in New England. My hometown has many churches...
This is Main Street... notice another church? The Main St. has changed a lot over the years, but it still looks like home.
Oh yeah...there is one part of my hometown I couldn't capture on film...the smell...of a mill town.... mmmmmmmmmmmm....there's no place like home....
I felt like I wanted to put these pics on here today...my last trip home...while I still had two grandmothers. Life has changed... I am still a granddaughter...always will be...for all of my grandparents, but it feels strange. I wondered about mom today...she has lost both of her parents...if she were a child, we would call her an orphan...but she isn't an orphan. She is a daughter...always will be...a daughter who made her mother very proud...
I was asked to update you all on my knee and how it is doing. It is ok. I feel stronger and didn't use my crutches much while I was at my parents' home. I had PT today and didn't get tortured too much. They see progress with the straightening as well as with the bending. The back incision is once again giving me problems...there is one place that has bubbled up with blood underneath...so I need to keep an eye on it.
I am going to dinner with my friend Phil tonight. It will be nice to see him and get a big hug from my big brother.

Thanks for the update on your knee. I was just checking to be sure you hadn't "over-done it" while you were in Lincoln. Somehow I had the idea that you might not be making that a priority. ;)
The pictures you took of Lincoln are cool. Whenever I'm feeling a little homesick, I can just check out your blog. I hope you're feeling better...Love ya.
Your blog is just awsome, i have one at the same provider, but i never update it.. Im to lazy for that.. Sorry to hear about your grandmother, hope she dident had any pain before she left. But it was good to hear that she had her family with her when she passed away.
So how is your knee working out, i saw your "new" scars, and it looks good, hope your swelling is going down little by little. But things takes time with pvns. My knee is doing pretty okey, but i cant run the maraton, or something like that, and i never will, perhapps they day i get a TKR, but thats many years ahead thank god, and if will stay like this, i live with it.
Take care now, by the way, which car do you drive (you know boys and cars:o)

Thanks for your compliments and I hope you are doing ok. - TallGal
