I wonder if the zoo has had a lot of complaints about the cameras going dark. I become very attached to animals whether in person or on a live feed.

Are you looking forward to going to Rochester and getting out of the house or does the walking become tiresome? Your mom is in my prayers and thoughts.

Does the protein bar recipe sound good?

Thanks for the recipe.  It sounds easy enough to make.  I hope I get the chance to make it.  I think I will wait on the electrician's being gone as I can just see me putting it in the oven and then the electricity being cut.

I haven't had this for many years.

Butterfly,  Seriously, one of my cousins in Oklahoma has fancy hens and gets naturally blue,  green, and other colored eggs from them.   She protects those chickens from all things that would menace them.  She treats them as pets and they are quite friendly and loving.  Some like being held and hugged. 

@possummink

The chickens were not approved by landlord. 

Thank you for the beautiful pictures though❤️

The walking isn't too bad for me at Mayo as the building her doctor is in has a ramp attached.  Now, if they were to send her elsewhere on campus that could be a very different story.  Thanks for the prayers and thoughts.  I am pretty sure she will tell her doctor it is a go ahead.  Next appointment then will be with the surgeon.  The hardest part for me is the ride as I am uncomfortable and in pain after 15 minutes of riding in a car.  The drive takes even longer as we have stop points for me to be able to get out of the car for a bit.

The protein bar recipe does sound good to me.  Quite a few of the ingredients I will have to buy.
