Bass Pro Museums

🏥 Good 'morning' Dear Heart 💜 How are you this chilly day?

🏥 This morning I was with Sis B, in the hospital, waiting for her endoscopy and colonoscopy to be done. Among other things, this process is to eliminate cancer before accepting a Parkinson's diagnosis.

🏥 Both of us are very short on sleep. I napped about 3 hours yesterday and expect I will do so again this afternoon when we get home. (Oops, had coffee w breakfast)

🏥 Update: everything looks good... no cancer, no blockages, etc. Doc took several biopsy samples to test for micro possiblies. Good news! Glad I was here with B😊

🎣 To back up a couple days: On my way to OKC on Tuesday I visited the granddaddy of the Bass Pro Shops in Springfield Missouri. This first store (of nearly 200) was opened in 1972 (the year I graduated from high school). I had no idea how big the Bass Pro center is: the huge store with 5? museums, the conservation center, an aquarium, catalog store, even a package pick up site!!

🎣 My Bro donated our Dad's rifle to their NRA museum. It is a Standard Arms Model M, .30 cal. Remington slide-action rifle, ca. 1910. There are very few of them around. They said artwork on his rifle is unusual.

🏥 Yesterday was full, we got some steps while we did some shopping. I took a nice long nap and tended to Sis as she drank the gallon of pre-colonoscopy medicine, 1/2 at five and 1/2 at 10:30 pm. I snagged 3 hours of sleep before early this morning out the door!

🏥 Today's collages are about Bass Pro and and Dad's rifle, one is of Sis Karen and a couple sunsets. Hope you enjoy😊

🏥 I thank you for your continued prayers for the health of our family members, and for others who hurt in so many ways. And now to send this off!

🏥 I hope we all get good😴sleep😴 tonight. 🐯Tiger, 🦁Pon, 🧸Äri, 🐢Buddy, 🐘Connie, 🐈Missy, 🐈‍⬛ Hissy and 😇 I send loves🫶 and 🤗
